Your probably not going to get much air with that kite. Its possible to get air with any kite, but you would have to have a LOT of wind. To get the best out of the kite, you just need to work on flying without your board, and get used to making power. You need to pull the kite to get it to pull you back. I dont know if I can really explain it any other way. You can do figure 8's and keep the kite moving. When on the board, you can do a sine wave. What you do is while riding along, the kite bobs up and down slowly on the edge of the window in the direction your going.
