Hi J, great video. Couple of quick question. 1) Why do you walk up both lines rather than take the right side and pull to let the kite flag out and then walk up that way? I tried walking up both the other day and found the tension from the kite quite strong. Made it no problem but was a little worried. 2) Also, do you completely unhook from the bar before hand? I didn’t and dragged the bar up the beach with me which added to the mess. Lastly. 3) Do always secure the stall by clipping in the leash?
Hi Jason. Thanks so much for sharing these experiences! I was wondering whether it would be possible to just put tension on one of the back lines only, like you did in the end, but just doing it earlier on. Would that be possible or are there other dangers involved? Many thanks! Arpad
Well the power/depower trim strap works similar. Only difference is you may get a little more backstall with the Soul(but not much since they were designed to not do it as much). Personally I trim so it just slightly backstalls at full bar in because it makes the kite a little bit more fun.

The further away from the kite that you would do that, the more the kite will spin and still create pull which can be a problem in high winds.
Nice video! What is your advice with the trim strap? I have a soul 15m2 but i have no idea if the trim works the same as my tube kites?

Thanks for the info, keep up with the great video's.
