Good evening! Thanks for the great video! It's hard to believe that a kite parafoil with an area of 4 square meters can pull so much! In the end, did you fall because of a sharp gusty wind or was there a snowdrift or something like a ledge on the way in the snow??? Thanks!

Yes exactly, there comes a steeper part with trees downwind. Mainly I released because I felt out of control at this point, which was a good choice because the wind got even stronger.

higher to the peak the stronger the wind, where u were it looks like it's even funneling a bit. I learned this the hard way with frenzy 11m, almost killed myself

I think you are right, it might have funneled because there is a bit if a dip on the ridge. It also only lasted for 5 minutes so by the time I had rolled up the kite it was almost over.

Hi. How to relaunch after release, in a such strong wind?

I rolled it up and skied down the hill a bit. Right then the gust stopped and I just launched it again. It was a bit of a weird day with awesome wind and crazy long strong gusts on just that part on the mountain.

Hard to tell, maybe 35 knots (or more?). Way too much to even hold the 4m with my 80 kg.

@@johnnykhawand It does both. If you pull the 5th line a little, the kite goes down in a controlled way. When fully released, the kite gets pulled together like a folded umbrella und falls down.
