So cool being able to watch someone fly the exact same kite as you have

With my 15m Cabrinha Contra if there’s enough wind I use the middle knot on the steering lines for the right power + bar pressure + jumping. You’ve suggested outer knot on steering lines which reduces stalling in super light winds (I totally agree) but what are your thoughts with enough wind for 15m? Would you still use outer knot or middle on steering lines in those circumstances? Jumping is the key factor for me (which needs power)? Thanks. :) P.S. I don’t use inner knots on steering lines as stalls kite more easily in super light winds & gets too overpowered too quickly when the wind eventually picks up more. :)

Nice, why Is your bar connected on the opposite? Black should be your left side.

Does a north bar fully work on cabrinha contra? :)

Just don't be to ambitious with going upwind, walks of shame are totally ok

Take your Finn's off and for really light wind inflatables are crap
