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 upper skin. This method prevents
the tips from flapping in the wind.
Tip:
The Kite can also be
secured using the same me-
thod as the launch. However,
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.
