Just out of curiosity, what kind of kite do you have? There's nothing
wrong with buying more kites, of course, but there's a chance that your
tuning is off and that's why you seem "too heavy".

Try shifting the tow point (the place where your flying lines connect to
your bridles). Experiment moving them up and down. Just be sure to keep
both of them even (equal distance from the top of the kite) or you will
throw the balance out of wack..

Please note: "out of wack" is not a technical term...

Good luck!
