School

1. Find a flat, open flying sight unobstructed by trees and buildings. Ideally you should have around 200 metres of open space around you. Commons, beaches and fields are ideal.
2. Make sure that you are flying in a 15 - 30 km wind to start with. If you fly in a very light wind, the kite will not perform to it's potential and if you fly in too strong a wind, you may crash and damage your kite.
3. Make sure that you have somebody with you to help you assemble and launch your kite.
4. Do not fly near people or animals at any time, especially when you are learning. You will find that most people are unaware of how fast a kite travels. If the kite or its lines strike somebody, they could cause serious injury. If people walk within your flying range, ask them to move out of your flying area.
5. Keep your kite as high up in the sky as possible to start with and practice gentle turns, getting used to the feel of the kite. This helps to prevent those early crashes!
6. As you get more confident, fly the kite faster and explore the whole "wind window". Try some stunts.

Up wind: The place where the wind is blowing from.

Down wind: The place  where the wind is going to.

The Wind window: See the graph below, With your back to the wind, put your arms out left and right crosswind, or 90
degrees off the wind. You arms are now pointing at where you want to go and where you want to come back to.Raise your hands up over your head and place them together. Look forward and up. This is the "neutral position.”
