I don't jump and only have a few sessions on the dart but for underpowered riding i was using the second front handle and the middle back handle. I haven't really been overpowered on it

4.5m & 4m I ride like this until overpowered then I just move down to the 3m & 2.5m instead of choking up on the wing. Works great for jumping.
Thank you for the responses.
I had three sessions so far with the Dart 4.0 in very gusty winds 12-30kn. I mainly used the 1st front and 1st rear handles that felt very balanced but underpowered; couldn't get up on the foil below 18 knots with an armstrong ha925. I am 75-76kg +wetsuit.
When I tried 1st front and middle rear handles, felt definitely more powered up but a little less balanced between the handles. Also tried 2nd front handle and middle rear handles that was even less balanced. May be I need to practise more to get used to the very different feel of this wing.
The best things about it so far are its stability in the gusts and the speed. Definitely a keeper. It will be even better when I have the balls and technique to jump.
