#3 How To Fly The Kite

After learning how to launch the kite you will need to learn a few of the basics when it comes to controlling your kite and keeping it in the air. This lesson will teach you how to do some basic turns, play with the kite and how to use the bar.

Step 1: Basic Turns

• Start by flying the kite in a straight line, and then gently pull on one side of the bar to turn the kite in that direction.

• To turn the kite in the opposite direction, simply pull on the other side of the bar.

• Practice turning the kite back and forth until you feel comfortable controlling it in both directions.

Step 2: Playing with the Kite

• Once you have mastered basic turns, try playing with the kite by looping it in the sky.

• To loop the kite, pull hard on one side of the bar until the kite turns sharply in that direction.

• Then, quickly release the bar and pull on the opposite side to complete the loop.

• Practice looping the kite in both directions and experiment with different sizes and shapes of loops.

Step 3: Using the Bar

• The bar is the primary control mechanism for the kite and allows you to adjust the angle and power of the kite.

• To increase the power of the kite, pull the bar towards you.

• To decrease the power of the kite, push the bar away from you.

• As you become more comfortable with the bar, practice adjusting the angle of the kite by pulling on one side of the bar to turn the kite in that direction.
