Engineer... I was going to take that route. Doing Cad design right now, probably going to end up with architecture.
And sining the kite, it's only really important when you're underpowered or need more power. The idea behind it, is to get more wind flowing over the kite. Once you're moving, you won't need to sine it as much, because your speed is pushing air over it. When you're moving(and it's blowing hard enough) all the power is naturally aspirated. When you're sining, it's a turbo... have some lag and you're pushing air over the kite. Get it?

N/A-turbo lag-now you're talking my language. You don't drive a Honda do you? :-P
I am actually looking at going into biomedical-I would like to look/work on design prosthetics and orthodics. They facinate me. Consequently, I don't beleive there are any prosthetics in the field to server the kite boarding community...

No Honda here... Ford Ranger, I'm not much into putting 10k+ into a 2l 4cylinder engine. My parents have been really trying to get me into the prosthetics, my neighbor does it I'm pretty sure.

Basically you dive it hard to take off, and then again but less, and then again but less until you don't need to dive it anymore and you are powered up.

So we are talking about a dampened sine wave then...

for those engineers....
d2x(t)/dt2 = Q(dx(t)/dt)+ Nx(t) + e(t) Q= dampening coefficient

I just fart when I start to slow down until I'm powered up...

Ahhh, one of Mr. Newtons laws...for every action, there is an equal and opposite (smelly) gas expulsion.
BTW...if anyone is interested...I just finished building a Dopero Maxi kite (75 ft. sail area)-and flew itmonday. it was a single liner...in 6-8 mph winds I was hard pressed to stand still.
