Two week newb here to landboarding and wanted to see what others think or have experienced using the new aoa bridle system. Started off using the BIV
on the least lift setting. Beam and close reach runs were frustrating at first due to pilot error but the kite was very stable and provided alot of
power. I have tried the second knot or lift setting and found that a little hairy but exciting. The kite is very fast and lift is there on this
setting if you get it right or wrong. It seems Flexi has a great all rounder with the new 4.9 and their aoa system. Thoughts/comments? as
usual......................................

I played with AOA settings before but didn't like "very light wind" and "most lift" settings. In "very light wind" setting, it tends to collapse at
the edge of wind window. In "most lift" setting, it's hard to get the kite off the ground. That leaves just two settings, "normal" and "light wind."
I don't even bother to change it ever since. "normal" setting works just fine for me. - Brian
