Quote:
--In order to pass a handle you need to be able to turn the bar without the kite zipping from one side of the window to the other, or looping. This requires you to put slack in the back lines so the kite doesn't turn.
not totaly. a slower kite can be forgiving but if you grab the bar wrong your in for a yarding no matter what Laughing . without sheeting the bar riding straight downwind fast will stall the kite out and open the window for passing the bar without worrying about where your hand ends up. once you slide around the kite will get power again as soon as you resume edging. practicing on a deserted beach is good too.

the place turning speed makes a differience for me is with sent handlepasses and with those i find i would rather be on a super fast kite then a slow one. when i mess up small tight loops are much nicer than big swoopy ones.

about the sheeting i really like kite to be just past the point it stalls at even if im lit. thats where a c kite is really good it handles the power when you are unhooked and lit much better.
