Blade 11 4.9mt upward lift


Hi all. I am still alive after learning the hard way how to fly my blade. I am now in full control of the beast, with killers attached for safety. I am getting some big slides but can't seem to get much upwards lift. This may be due to too little wind ? What should I be doing to get some air.
Thanks to you all for past advice.

To get air, you have to be dug in stationary. If you slide forward while the kite is going up, you cant get any lift.
