caught or running behind the kite.

Undo any loops, knots or bunches
that may have formed.
If the bridle is tangled, lines from
one side of the bridle may be running
through the lines on the other side.
Stick the bar along these lines
through the bridle.
Lightly tension up the bridle
again to check it. If need be, repeat
the last step till the left and right
bridles are separated.
Unroll the lines from the bar
and check as before.

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 flap-
ping 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.
