However, you can control that by being wise with how much leverage you put on the bows...if you're in danger of stuffing it with the kite up, get your crew off the wire and start moving your weight inboard = problem solved. The trick is identifying that you need to do this BEFORE the boat takes you all the way to the scene of the crash.

Jake, coming off of the wire and moving inboard is best to prevent pitch pole? Aren't you taking the cantilever action of your weight off the hull, and loosing the counter balance effect by doing this? Please explain the principle.
