:wee: Way to go Flexi' :wee:
Do you have much skating / skiing experience ?
Turns will probably be the hardest.
I suggest you just enjoy the ride at 1st and slow down to a stop on the turns until you are good and comfortable with them. Then doing a step turn
will probably work best ? Carving a turn on those big boys may be a learned skill ! :cool2:
Ride on :bigok:

Of course step turns work best and are very simple. I can flip a U pretty quickly. You may carve a turn when you have plenty of room. Stepping will
account for 95% or your turns.

i agree. STEP ON ...THEN HOP WITH REDIRECT def feel the ski feel.
balancing to the outside edge for an under push plant is very steep. only with speed can i manage being comfortable with solid rig power. the v13
combo has excellent speed and quickness for my weight and height. threshold wind about 8 mph allows for good warm up and speed control. the
sliding thing is totally sweet, the snap back from depower up wind ride to total hot full power with a smoking kite nice and low. the callus still
ache from my last session. going full on land like water is like ......puddling to shoveling sand on the hands with heavy bar pressure.
