launch 2010 helix

Yeah know what you mean
i demo'd this at the start of last season, the kite generates all its power between 1 & 2, and 10 & 11 in the window. Wasn't the kite for me as i normally ride switchies, but my mate swears by it???
We were in cervantes 20/35 knots, i'm on a 12 then an 8m switchy and he was riding the 10.5 all day, so go figure!!!
But yeah at 3 or 9 it just doesn't want to power up.
Horses for courses i guess!!

the helix is a great kite! I use 8m helix 2010 on my surfboard here WA and I am 95 kg. More tehn anough power.

I dont understand the problem...?

ste

I think you'll find its because of the light bar pressure that you're not feeling the kite you need to move up into the power zone but not too quickly

did you change the setting of the lines on your bar ?
cause if you didn't thats why - mine went like pigs {7m and 9m} till a mate fixed it
take it up another notch - or even make another knot yourself if its not enough. power it up and its the kite you want trust me

Chronic
When you say "take it up another notch" do you mean lengthen the lines towards the last knot or shorten the lines by using the knot closer to the bar. Out of the box there are 3 knots A, B & C it comes set on knot B do you recommend trying knot C closer to the bar??

Thanks i hope
