I have problems going right left is usually ok but when the wind is light right is almost impossible
Am I just not realizing the wind window and trying to start pointed to far unwind
I thought this might be it but pointing further downwind I out run the kite
I am lost to the right when I was kite skateboarding I just rode toeside but this seemes like something I need to learn and toeside on the mountain
board is much different

(its in your head)
lol, maybe.... your kite may be damaged, and not work correctly diving and turning in one direction, but more than likely its in your head....
ive done it before, but its usually just a matter of me stopping, getting the wind direction nailed down, then off i go
videos may help if it is indeed a kite issue tho

I am an unwind machine so I am more than likely biting of more than is necessary but I thought it was weird that it was only in one direction

Head games my friend... Totally done that... I was so preoccupied with going upwind I couldnt even get going
Good to know it isn't a damaged kite

I think I am going to have to eat my words
I listen to every body talk about line stretch and thought psst I fly prestreached ozone lines but my old kite is fixing to get new nots in the leader
handles
It may help with choking the kite
