I used to stack two 6's and a 10. In the right wind, that is a powerful stack. Even three or four 6's can lift you in 15mph or above. The trick is digging in while the kites go through the middle of the window, then turn straight up and lurch forward. You won't go high, but you will go long. Have a safe place to land!

try pendulum jumping u have height and u dont move that far forward but u have a long time in the air

to do it u bring the kite to the edge of the wind window at about half height and bring it across the window running into the wind and as the kite is in the middle of the window jump a small amount(u will know when as u are about to be pulled) and u will gain height and have a long period of flight

by practicing u can get long amounts of time to do tricks such as spins and superman jumps



using this method u can do a superman/\
