What does “overpowered” mean in terms of kitesurfing?
To be overpowered is to receive too much power from the kite. There are several factors which may cause this. Too large of a kite and an increase in wind are two situational issues which may cause this. A kiter may also simply be going too fast or have made an incorrect adjustment as well. Some experienced riders may opt to switch to a smaller board to compensate for the situation.
