Sounds like I use the same setup, my lines are either DaKine or Windsurf
Hawaii, I don't remember which, and a Reactor bar. Tucking up my legs
shouldn't effect whether I'm still hanging from my harness lines or not,
should it? I rarely round up on landings, but occasionally, I do land
flat. Maybe I'm not tucking enough? In fact, aren't you supposed to
stretch your arms out while airborne, and extend your back leg on landing
to prevent a flat landing?

Maybe it's time for a clinic.
