Lines

A

 sport kite line should stretch as little as possible while being very smooth

and light. Only a few materials are suitable for this. The line should be braided.

Dacron or polyester lines have a stretch capacity of approx. 8-10 %. These

inexpensive lines are ideally suitable for simple stunt kites and for beginners,

as the relatively large stretch factor makes the kite a little slower and therefore

easier to steer.

Dyneema or Spectra lines fulfil more demanding criteria . These high quality

lines stretch by only 2-3 %. This means that the kite reacts immediately to

all steering movements. Light and UV resistant, this line is extremely smooth

so it can be twisted several times without reducing the steerability. We do

not recommend Kevlar or aramide fibers due to the high risk of injury from

tight lines.

Starting, Controlling and Landing

Flight fields: Choose a flight field that has no buildings, trees or other obstacles

that can deflect the wind or that are in the way of your kite (see Fig. 5). The

ground should be flat and not too hard. Ideal areas are sandy beaches or

large, open meadows. Please be aware that flying is not permitted everywhere

– protection of nature and landscapes is a priority! Respect private property!

We fly our kites in the so-called wind window which is smaller or larger

depending on the wind speed (see table on the back of envelop). The dark

section shows the “power window” – wind pressure increases from outside

to the inside (see also the wind window graphic in the Quick Start). Begin

in the middle of the wind window.
