Key Points to Remember
• When practicing steering a kite on land, always remember that your kite has extreme power. Be prepared and be
safe. We suggest you develop your kite handing skills on land with a Cabrinha trainer kite, and then move to the
water for further practice using the “body dragging” techniques with your power kite.
• When first learning to fly your kite, always keep your eyes on the kite.
• Steer slowly. Do not make any abrupt motions with the control bar.
• Keep in mind the power of the kite.
• Never turn the control bar like a car steering wheel. It is ineffective for steering the kite and may actually cause the
kite to become out of control.
1. Hold the bar with both hands,
shoulder distance apart.
2. With your eyes on the kite,
slightly pull on the control bar
with your left hand, pulling it
toward your body.
3. This will allow your left arm to
bend and your right arm to extend. Keeping one arm
extended is important; do not pull both arms toward
your body at the same time.
4. Pull slowly. The quicker your movements, the faster
the kite will turn and the more power it will create.
5. Once the kite starts to turn, it will continue to turn
left unless you “tell it” otherwise.
6. Be ready to steer the kite in the other direction.
1. Hold the bar with both hands,
shoulder distance apart.
2. With your eyes on the kite,
slightly pull on the control bar
with your right hand, pulling it
toward your body.
3. This will allow your right arm to
bend and your left arm to extend. Keeping one arm
extended is important; do not pull both arms toward
your body at the same time.
4. Pull slowly. The quicker your movements, the faster
the kite will turn and the more power it will create.
5. Once the kite starts to turn, it will continue to turn
right unless you tell it otherwise.
6. Be ready to steer the kite in the other direction.
