Hey all.

Got my new pkd Brooza 4m on friday, and finally took it out on sunday at mablethorpe beach. My previous kite was a radsail 2.4 so it was a bit of a beast. The only problem I had with it was that when it was at the top of the window, if you leave it there for a while, it will over shoot, and then turn upsidedown on itself. Has anyone else had this. The winds were about 16-18mph gusting to over 22.

Also whats the best way of getting sand out?.

Dan.

Brooza I or Brooza II?

Difference is the Brooza II's have the wingtip zippers, print on the bottom of the kite and wingtip zippers. They do fly a bit different.

That instability at the top may have been gusty wind. When the kite sees a gust it will rush forward and then fall back.

The reason I'm asking is because the Brooza II's are set up a little closer to the race kites than the Brooza I's, the I's will almost never overfly, the II's you have to watch a little more, but the II's have a bit better upwind. You can adjust the II's though with the bridal to get them to be either more stable/powerful, or less stable/faster.

Im sure its a brooza 1. There is no aoa adjustment or tip zips.

For getting the sand out, hold it by both tips, nose down a little and shake the kite, the sand will eventually make it's way to the middle of the kite, then you have to tilt it nose down to dump the sand out.

Must just be the gusty wind conditions for the overflying. There's a couple things you can do, when the kite gets hit by a gust when at zenith, you can apply the brakes a little to hold it back and keep it from speeding out of the window, or if you want something a little more predictable, tighten up the brake lines a hare. Do this a bit at a time. You'll hit a point where the kite will naturally hang back just a bit, this will make it a bit more sensative to brake input when launching and will tend to keep the kite a bit more powered up but it should cure the overflying for you.
