Apparently, the bridle is set wrong for the winds you were flying.

I don't have a Quantum, but I'd guess you need to move the tow points more toward the nose. Find the instruction manual that came with the kite, and read it this time.

First, make sure both sides of the brdle are set the same, by measuring the distance from the upper attach point (on the leading edge) to the loop where you attach your flying lines. They need to be the same within less than 1/8". If they are close to the same, proceed. If they were very different, try flying the kite first, at the new setting.

Then -

Try moving them 1/4", each. If that's not enough, move them both 1/4" more, toward the nose. Don't move them more than 1/4" at a time, 'cause if you overshoot the mark, the kite will remain unflyable.

I have set up a page on the basics of bridle adjustments that you may want to read through. It should help you understand the different adjustments and what effect they will have on the kite. The Quantum should be alive and well in that wind range.

bridle adjustment

Hope this helps you out.
