Im a beginner that has been dipping my toes in the water for a couple of years but made little progress mainly due to not drinking hardner regularly enough AKA s*$t scared)

This season I am biting the bullet and getting in the water as often as possible with suprising results (I can actually kite a little!!!!)

The weekend just gone produced even more pleasing results with some fast rides, holding my grounsd (mostly) and even some turns without teabagging...Milestones I say!!!

Problem Im finding is that when Im finding the speed too much and wanting to back off a little by sheeting out and moving the kite up in the window, the bar is almost too far away to have a good too handed grip on. On some occassions I have let go with one hand which was OK but not a completely satisfactory solution for some one of my skill.

Kite is a Core GT 10.5....Appreciate any help or just to be told that there is in fact no solution.

BTW...To those beginners in South East QLD who have not tried Boreen Point...I say get up there and have a look...15-20 k since last Thursday...no crowds..no tide..shallow water. Some say a little gusty at times and they are correct but Im thinking being able to cope with gusty winds being as valuable a skill as being able to kite in light winds...Just a thought..Thanks for your help.
