Thanks for the tips. The real problems start when you're dealing with waves and a strong current.. I literally just made a video about that lol. Keep up the good work!

I hear from fellow kiters that foot straps should be shoulder width apart. Does anyone know if a wider stance might help going upwind in lite wind?

Hi Blake thank you for the tips, they did help a lot, although I can't still let go of the bar as I still lack that one hand kite control I was able to upwind a bit wiggling board and fine tuning and wiggling too bar power when wind is low ( for a beginner ) although If I can add to your very useful advices ... Only when the kite is low I can significally edge and unfortunatelly in low wind I need to pump kite up and down to keep going, finally I worked out edging when kite come down low ( more horizontal pull ) and head a little downwind when kite rise up (some kite pull is lost to vertical ) to regain some speed ... It seems doing the trick for me ... But I let more experienced kiter comment if this is generally true or just my imagination 😉 ...
