  10. When you are sharing the same flying zones with other kiters, try to respect each other. Fly in turns or use shorter lines.

 

OTHER ADVICES

  1. When you are sharing the same flying zone with other kiters and your lines cross another kiters lines, don’t pull your lines. Give slack to avoid tension on your lines and try to undo the crossing. If they get really messed up, throw you lines towards your kite, with a little bit of luck they will untangle themselves and you can pick them from the floor. If things get really messy, put both kites on the ground and untangle the lines.
  2. Take care of your flying spot if it was your own. Don’t litter and keep everything clean.
  3. When hour kite falls, be sure everything is all right before taking off again.
  4. Fly in open fields. The wind will be better

 

        Althogh many people think kite flying is child’s play, flying a kite is a very serious thing and comes with a big responsibility. A kite crash can lead to very serious injures if it falls on a person. Lines under tension can cause serious cuts and burns.
        Consider making an insurance. Fly safe.
