SECURING THE KITE
AND LAYING OUT YOUR LINES
•
First, secure your kite face down at the place where your partner will hold your kite to launch
it (Remember to secure it properly with sand or sand bags).n Next, wind your line out from
the kite toward the place from which you will launch your kite. Tip: If your lines are not still con-
nected to the kite, weigh the ends down with sand or with something heavy to keep them from
blowing in the wind while you wind your lines out.
•
Set your bar down.
•
Walk down your lines, freeing them of twists and knots. If you have the four line Black Tip kite,
first walk down the red lines and then walk down the green lines.
•
Next, connect the lines to your kite as instructed in the CO2 sections or in the Black Tip sec-
tion.
•
It is imperative that you make sure your lines are straight and free of twists and knots. Your
kite will not steer properly and will be a danger to you and those around you if the lines are
not correctly attached.
•
You should now be ready to launch.
