Hey Kazi,
I've been flying a Monkey Griffin for about 2 years and it does the same thing in low-wind conditions at the edge of the window. What I've heard from other kiters is that its a safety mechanism so that the kite doesn't get blown away, but floats to the ground for retrieval. Doesn't make sense to me seeing as it only happens in low-wind.
How much of a lull is it? Like almost no wind?

Hey everyone,
I have a 12m Airush Halo that keeps inverting on me. It seems as soon as it gets a small lull or if i get somewhat close to the edge of the wind window it just inverts and falls from the sky.
I had a few of my buds try as well as some exp riders that have been riding for years and we all exp the same thing. There are two places to attach the bridles near the center of the leading edge, currently they are attached to the outer section, if I change where they are setup will that help?
Also I have it on the closest knot to the kite (3rd one in) for the leading lines, to create that extra tension but it's still inverting almost every time. Current setup is also 2:1.
Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys
