I went to east beach, really gusty, and then it would completely die.....
still did body dragging and realized I still need more kite control before I get on the board.

gotta question about the trim though, is there a chart or common knowledge about adjusting the the power of the kite via knots on outside lines on the bar, and the ones by the kite hookups?
I know that when the trailing edge corners are flopping in the wind the strap has to be pulled to increase AOA, but is there a way to know that kite is tilted forward too much?
It kept flying behind me when at 12 o'clock, I tried bringing it down to the power zone by doing 8 figures, but was either to slow or doing it wrong.....

any thoughts......
