The best tutorial on unhooking and running your kite that I've seen! I did my first unhooked raleys yesterday but had a hard time getting very much height. Do I need to go faster (I was feeling very under powered by perhaps I'm just not used to riding this way)? If so, do I need to power up the kite more or just work the kite? Thanks!

Thanks for the praise! If you are underpowered you most likely are not riding quickly enough into the load or alternatively you are bearing off too far downwind during the load/before the load. Its difficult to say without seeing some video of you - maybe you can get somebody to film you and send us the link?

Thanks so much for the quick reply and generous offer! I'll make sure I take some video the next time I'm out (hopefully sooner rather than later). Thanks so much!
