TUNNING UP YOUR KITE
Power management principles:
You should never sail with your arms fully extended, as you would have no further depowe-
ring ability in a gust. In this scenario you should shorten your front lines to reduce the power
generated by your kite. You can:
Pull on the RED adjustment strap.
On land, select a knot on the front leader line closer to your bar. (knot3)
To increase the power generated by your kite, you should shorten the back lines.You can:
Pull on the BLACK adjustment strap.
On land, select a knot on the front leader line further from your bar. (knot1)
Caution: these tuning technics have limits – excessively shortening your centre lines will
render your kite hard to steer, and over-shortening your outer lines will overpower your kite
and ultimately make it fly backwards.
