Based in Taiwan, no other power kiters. Got given a 13.5, 10.0 Naish inflatable, 4 line kite. It is #@%$#!ing enormous. Nice little breeze today, tried to launch her. Tied the leading edge lines to the inside of the bar and the rear lines to the outside. She launches beautifully but then folds when I try to turn her. Any ideas? Gonna beat my lady if I can t sort this one.

The control bar setup of surf kites is crucial to its performance. Not sure which bar you have so here is a list of Naish manuals to download:

DUDE EITHER YOUR KITE WASNT INFLATED PROPERLY OR THEIR WASNT ENOUGH WIND THOSE WATER KITES AT THAT SIZE YOU HAVE NEED AT LEAST A STRONG 12-15MPH TO EVEN GET OFF THE GROUND AND EVEN MORE TO PRODUCE STEADY PULL FOR KITE SURFING MAY BE 14-20MPH.
