For your future notice, once you start flying with the harness and handles in higher winds you will fray the cord that goes between the handles very quickly, so you will eventually want to look into a spreader bar with a pulley.:bouncy:

I think 8.0 is too big with 12-15MPH !! if you dont have exp jump i have a crossfire II 6,5 and i jump pretty smooth with 10 MPH and i weight 163 and this is the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpD2dabndnE

Dont go with the kite and zenith with +12mph you will be lifted , do it in soft sand


I have the old crossfire 6.3 the old and with 18-20MPH big jumps and no problem with crash but always in soft SAND

Good luck next time

i agree! also u might want to jump over sand--then if u crash at least u might not get hurt that bad

Redirecting will have you sorted.

I hate getting lofted...most of the time.

Some say go out in 20 and above winds but what they dont realise is that we are flying fixed bridle :o

yes and jump on soft sand if its possible, if you are going to carry on jumping on grass at least get a helmet and knee pads.
