Make sure that there are no lines
caught or running behind the kite.
Undo any loops, knots or bunches
that may have formed.
If the bridle is tangled, lines from
one side of the bridle may be running
through the lines on the other side.
Stick the bar along these lines
through the bridle.
Lightly tension up the bridle
again to check it. If need be, re-
peat the last step till the left and
right bridles are separated.
Unroll the lines from the bar
and check as before.
02.03 Securing the kite
A kite needs to be secured
properly even if the wind is
light. A runaway kite can be
a serious danger to people
downwind. To ensure a long
lifespan of your kite, we
recommend that you do not
leave the kite flapping in
the wind and sun for long
periods.
Fold your kite in the middle and
let the tips flow out downwind. The
bottom skin and the bridle will be
facing inwards. Weigh down the
kite in the front third of the up-
per skin. This method prevents the
tips from flapping in the wind.
Tip:
The kite can also be
secured using the same
method as the launch. How-
ever, it has been proven that
the above method keeps
the kite more still in higher
winds.
Make sure that the tips are not
flapping too much. This can lead
to the bridle tangling. The tips can
be additionally secured with a bit
of sand or other suitable object.
Open the deflate valves. A deflated
kite will flap around on the ground less.
