Jake,
So you blow the traveller entirely? And are you almost immediately travelling and sheeting back in? Can you do this by yourself? Pin the tiller extension while sheeting? It seems like a handful, with little room for error. Thanks for the reply!

I do usually drop the tiller to sheet in quickly. The I20, once you've got her pointed properly downhill, will stay there long enough for you to sheet back in. If I really feel like "going for it", I'll stay out on the wire for the turn...but after having turned sharply enough to have my feet leave the hull, I'm wondering if it wouldn't be faster to have my butt planted on the hull for a snappy turn instead. But as shown in this picture, I can get the main back in before the kite is up.
