Inside out

The wind was blowing 20 to 25 mph and I was using my rev 11. I dropped the kite onto the water on several occasions while learning to jump. The kite turned inside out. What causes this?

If the kite fell out of the sky without any line tension this can happen, remember as you are come down to land always pull a little bit with your front hand and you will land with tension in your lines.

At what pressure do you have it inflated?

That was happening with me when I had it a the recommended 6 or whatever it says. I started pumping to 9 and problem solved.

Yea, more than likely your kite is not inflated enough. You need to pump that badboy up rock hard... 7 to 9 psi, or when you flick it it should sound high pitched, like you're tapping on a small drum.
