- Normalize your flying lines before you fly. When you want to put your kite straight, you join your hands and expect to see the kite balanced, but this will only happen if your lines have the same length.
- Check if everything is well connected before the lift off, specially after a crash.
- Use straps to control the kite. Never fly the kite directly holding the lines.
- Use fixed length lines
- If your kite is going to crash, let the lines go. The objective is to reduce the speed of the kite as it reaches the ground and enter into a trick called «pancake», that puts the kite flying forward and lands the kite like a plane.
- In case you cross your lines with other kiter, avoid causing tension on them, for they may break. Let you lines go and wait for them to fall on the ground. If they get tangled up, put both kites on the ground and untangle the lines.
- Don’t try to learn all tricks at once. It is better to know only a few tricks and make them perfectly, than thinking you know a lot of tricks and only occasionally be able to perform them with success.
