hi i am a complete novice to power kiting and have just bought myself a big buzz to start. i would welcome any hints and tips from anybody as to get
the best of it and how do i progress to kite jumping and what would be the best power kite to jump with. i am probably going to stick to land and
might progress to boarding but rather enjoy it on my feet or not if you see what i mean. all tips and tricks gratefully recieved! thanku.

Learn to fly the kite blind, not looking at it, you should be able to get a feel for what the kite's doing when you're not looking at it. When you can
do this and fly in enough wind to drag you for 10-20ft whenever you want to, then it may be time to start thinking of flying. But for now, work on the
basics.

On kitefilm go to downloads, trick of the week for lesson clips.
Learn to fly that kite blind + in odd positions, try to control it all along the outside edge of the window right down to one tip touching the ground,
Practice looping the kite + turning under instead of over ( downturning ).
Teach someone else everything you learn !
