How to regain control of kite?

hellnferno - 26-5-2013 at 06:58 PM

When I pull the brake line or when the wind is bad.. my ozone fury would keep falling until it hit the ground. I tried many different control opinion but no luck. How can I regain control of "failing" kite to catch the wind? My English is not very good but go ahead ask some question for me to try clear it up.

Pump the flying lines, do NOT use the brakes ;)

Try getting it upside down...then while it's falling, it's re-inflating and getting a bit of speed and should give you some control back.

Brake lines forward, power lines back, pump while stepping back and turn the kite to get it moving forward to reinflate.

Always step back into the wind, regardless of where the kite is...
