fun untill a sudden gust pulled me up in the air higher then i have ever been happend so bloody quick didnt even have time to land it on my feet
instaed i used my head that was to lad on it, yes my head glad i had a lid on and pads bloody winded me and gave me a right thumper of a head
ake,anyway got over that and had 2 good runs on my buggy even got a couple of power slides in, so after all this 2 things to ask how much pull should

Just slide your hands down to make it easier to pull the breaks..or get kite killers

Brakes may be out of adjustment, mainly too much slack. When flying the kite normally, look at the brake lines, when it's at the top of the window you
should still have a slight bow on the lines, when you apply the brakes hard, the kite should totally deflate and lose almost all power if not go
completely dead. Too much brake tension and it'll be hard to get to zenith, and the back lines will be tight when it does, Too little brake and it
won't want to collapse.
Easy way to shorten the brakes is to tie another knot on the brake line leaders at the handles about 2-3" closer to the handles, make sure both sides
are the same length.
