alright, ive searched for this topic and cannot find it anywhere.

my 2014 10m Naish Park seems to not be the kite it once was. it has changed..... it feels like there is excessive bar pressure, the turning isnt as responsive, and overall just feels sluggish. yes, i have used it extensively over the last 3 yrs.

is this because of "wear and tear"?? possible stretching of bridle? i cant put my finger on it... it definitely doesn't feel like the nimble kite it once was. and today, out in a feeble 20kts, it felt way overpowered... way too much bar pressure....just frustrating....i couldn't fly it in the same way i have in previous seasons... im running the same bar and lines it came with.

what do you guys think? yes it is early in the season, and im not in full 100% physical kite condition yet, but i dont think this is the problem as i still train almost every day.

anyone had similar problems with kites 2-3 seasons in? or am i just piss weak and delusional?
