Utah Windriders Association

Hi, I am a brand new kite boarder...long time Utah sailer I would like some advise.

My 5 line kite( 05 wipika matrix) Likes to lift off the water invert while I am pulling the bar back to me or while swiming back for my board I then get dragged down wind with the kite invered with the bar several meters up. Is my 5th line length wrong? What is my best course of action when this happens?

Thanks Billy.

Hey, you might want to put a stopper ball on your 5th line. The stopper ball should be set 2 meter from your bar, depending on the kite you are flying and bar size. This will prevent your kite inverting. If you don't know what I mean about the set up, I can help you set it up at Cloud 9 tomorrow morning at 1030am. Ask for Jacob Buzianis or you could meet me at utah lake tomorrow if there going to be a north wind. let me know

Dean,
I have a stopper ball set up at the wipika index mark for my kite size. Perhaps its in the wrong spot. I wish I could get out but I have to work. I live in Heber and need a reason to go to UT lake.

Check me out at Deer Creek when it blowing there at least 15 knot. Jacob Buzianis

Thank You!


Where is the launch at deer creek?
