the smaller the leading edge the higher the psi needed. I had a old waroo 5 that I could not pump up hard enough with a normall pump. also if you use the same bar on a small kite it has way to much bar travell.

Sounds like a bunch of people need to get out and learn how to tune their gear a bit better before venturing into challenging conditions.

Seriously folks, after your lessons you should really have a good understanding of oversheeting and its effects. A simple adjustement of either lengthing your back lines and/or shortenting your fronts will alleviate the problem.
