High Wind Kiting

• Remember kiting is flying with your feet are on the ground

• Get as much weight in the harness as possible and use as little brake as possible

• Pull your A's and B's together to change angle of attack and relieve possible frontaling

• Use weight shift turns (in the hips, look at side of the wing that is lower)

• Be careful near the lip, you can launch at any time

• Check downwind for obstacles before inflating in high winds

• If it gets out of hand, run towards the wing pulling the brakes until you are holding fabric

• If you fall, get up immediately and continue to fly/control the glider

• To disengage wing in high winds pull on the C's with brakes in hand

• To inflate use less brakes by moving towards glider and a smooth slower pull on the A risers

• When turning forward lean towards the wind during rotation

• To stay forward force your chin to the ground

• If you get picked up, continue to fly the glider and stay off brakes as much as possible
