Go Joe Current and wind affects

This is like rotor we are all in danger until it's figures out. Luckily an engineer showed up to our fourth party and informed me that both calculations are wrong. The board speed is easy as it is just the current the speed of the wind and the current do not however equate to force because they are each velocities. But suffice to say lizard hit the nail on the head.

I think the take home point is practice body dragging for 30 minutes and you won't need a go joe. If you really needed them, more people would have them.

slipin lizard is correct - you've over complicated this

when kiting with wind and current in opposition

think drag racer pulling shute at end of race - board goes downstream - you and your sea anchor the other

like monkey says
lose the crutch and become a body draggin monster - time investment 1 session
