Launch, Land, and Control
You’ll learn how to launch and self-land a trainer kite, practice hooked-in and hooked-out harness techniques, and master one-handed control to generate and stop power.
Reading the Wind Window
The lesson covers wind dynamics and safe conditions so you understand the kite’s wind window and how to manage power and avoid hazards while flying.
