- define the direction of the wind;
- place your kite apart from the main riding area, if possible mark
your place of start with flags. You should leave enough space
downwind from the kite to the nearest obstacle (the stronger
the wind is, the lager the space should be);
- fix the wing on the surface (pour with snow or press with a
rucksack or any other object on the ice);
- unreel, untangle and place the extenders along the direction of
the wind;
- fix the bar on the surface - either to an ice axe or to a ski, put
into the snow with its heel. While using the ice axe mark it with a
piece of a bright material to be able to see it from a distance.
Preparation for the start.
