The first thing I noticed when I water-started with the kite is just how quickly the kite moved, and how much power was generated just by a normal but fast dive - enough to lift me and send me downwind. The kite is telling me that it's ready for action, it's got plenty of power on tap. It's telling me that it wants to go faster. It's like an open top sports car you race through narrow streets. Over the first wave I send the kite back hard for some airtime, and on the way down I dive the kite like I usually do with my X2. I was suddenly presented with the amount of power one usually experience when you do kiteloops - and I hit the water with more power and speed than I can handle. It's like the kite is looking down at me and laughing at me, challenging me.
