6.1.a Anchor point for the safety
line
Carefully chose your anchor, it must withstand the
pull of the kite even if the wind increases.
Some anchor examples :
–
Tree stump
–
Bag filled with sand or rocks
–
Car roof rack
–
Stick stuck in the ground
IMPORTANT : with a wind of 20
km/h, the kite will pull with an
equivalent force of 4kg on the
anchor. With a wind of 90 km/h,
the force will be equivalent to
20kg. We advice you to use an
anchor that can resist twice the
force exerted by the kite.

6.1.c Check
Make sure the kite is stable. In light wind, if pull is too
weak, or it swings from side to side, slack off the
safety line a bit to bring the kite up in altitude. In
strong wind, if the kite is too unstable, hang the kite
storage bag on the kite as a tail (see illustration
above *).
