There are many settings available for this kite but which setting is best for surfing ie wake or freestyle - combined with which bar pressure setting ?

Wakestyle settings for front lines, on the rear lines slowest setting (most bar pressure) and 1st knot closest to the kite.

I find this works the best for unhooking, if I start getting overpowered I move the rear onto least bar pressure setting and the 3rd knot which I find lets me keep unhooking for another ~5kts.

i find for unhooking in the surf, use the freestyle setting, kite backed off on the knots (steering lines - first knot, centre lines last)
and then depower on the chicken loop when it picks up, perfect handling no backstall just rooster tails a'flyin

for hooked in surf just use the freestyle setting and rip it
