Additional Info
Trainer kite tips and precautions:
- Always be aware of your surroundings and fly your kite in an open area free of obstacles like trees, power lines, fences, cars, buildings and/or other people.
- Double check your kite condition and bridles and connections before each use to ensure your kite is rigged properly and in proper working order.
- Be aware of the wind and weather conditions, both current and forecast, for the area in which you are flying your kite. Do not fly when lightning is present or in winds that are too gusty or strong for your strength and ability.
- Fly with a partner whenever possible.
- Use caution when landing and launching, especially if hot launching.
- Remember the concept “Red is Left.” The lines connecting your flying lines to your control bar are color coded (red and green). The side with the red connection will always go in your left hand.
- Use a safety leash, and use it properly.
- Wrap your lines properly and clean, rinse and dry your trainer kite after each use to ensure its longevity.
- Practice good habits. After getting a feel for your trainer kite, practice proper techniques that you can transfer to a larger kite, and be sure to practice equally on both sides. Practice skills like landing and launching, flying the kite with one hand, power strokes, control at the edge of the wind window, walking while flying the kite and basic body dragging position.
- Take a lesson from a certified instructor. Do not expect to translate trainer kite skills to a larger inflatable kite without getting proper instruction first.
