It works fine if the crew can stay on top of the trimming. In large waves with big surfing speed changes, it's equivalent to the 10:1 main, you need 2 pumps to retrieve what you used to do in one. This makes you lose the acceleration you get with the pump. if your crew can anticipate this there is no problem, if not ,you get alot of luffing from running over the kite. It has it's place.
Chris, you were extremely fast the last day, but this ain't some of our first rodeo either.

p.s. And Frank, Ksurfer is probably right.

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.
