Blake whats the grey water shirt your wearing in this vid? J with a k6 on the left side..

[@olsenadventures]

Hey! Sorry for the late response, it's a J-Class sailboat racing shirt my friend gave me. He races on the Hanuman which is one of the winning boats. Cheers!

How can you park the kite in the Power Zone? Every kite goes to the edge of the window and stays there as long as you dont move it.

Hi Tim, when Blake refers to keeping the kite deeper he means you'll have to sign the kite. In the lightest of conditions often a kite will not stay in the air unless it's moving. Hope that helps! - Rygo

MACkiteboarding This makes total sense since the powerzone can only exist if the kite moves. Falsely many instructors refer to the powerzone as a zone per se which is not correct. The kite only develops its power in this zone thanks to its movement.

Some good tips, Blake. Just wanted to note that it is spelled "sine" not "sign." Based on the trigonometry function. Do a Google image search for "sine wave" and it'll make a lot of sense. Thanks for these videos! \m/

Daniel hey Daniel, glad you enjoyed the video. I'll have to fess up, Blake didn't misspell sine. That was me. I guess I should have paid more attention in trig. Stay tuned, our season two of Ride with Blake is starting in May! - Rygo

[@dtj41]

Haha no worries. I don't think it's very commonly known, so just a tidbit for anyone passing by
