i am having trouble with deep water starts with a kite surfboard. i can make my 1st start fine, surf a good line and sink into the water, but as i try to change the board direction, i become over powered and cant keep the kite stable enough to get the board back on. i have managed to get it right about one out of five times. anyone have some advice for a new kitesurfer?
