Explanation
Your kite needs a bit of wind to get going. If the wind is too light it is very
difficult to fly your kite properly.
Winds can easily get reduced by large obstacles like buildings, trees, hills or
dunes.
Wet kites, or kites with a lot of sand in it are hard to fly.
The Life line should be hanging with a little slack when flying. If the Life line
is too tight, the kite may not want to fly .
Holding the bar the wrong way around makes steering your kite very dif-
ficult.
Wet kites, or kites with a lot of sand in it are hard to fly.
Bridle lines can easily get caught behind the bridle loops or parts of the kite.
Tangled or twisted bridles or flying lines may make steering difficult.
If any parts of the bar hook behind each other the kite may not steer
properly.
On a very rare occasion your flying lines can stretch unevenly. This may
cause steering to be difficult.
The Life line should be hanging with a little slack when flying. If the Life line
is too tight, the steering will be very slow.
If the wind is light, the gusts may be sufficient but the lulls may prevent the
kite from flying properly.
Winds can easily get disturbed by large obstacles like buildings, trees, hills
or dunes, making the kite fly less smooth.
Wet kites, or kites with a lot of sand in it may start to shake in flight.
Damaged kites may change the flying behaviour of the kite.

adjust the knots on the side leader lines
on the bar if necessary.
