Topic of discussion Power Kiting:

I saw that there is a site about power kiting that can't be edited thus decided to create a page about the topic which anyone who does the sport may edited according to their knowledge and research about the topic.

Just want to provide those people who are interested in the topic to know more about the exciting sport. The two main kites that are on discussion are gona be kite surfing kites and power kites. you shouldn't get the two confused. Kite surfing kites are kites that you need to pump up in order to allow the kite to float if you should make a mistake and drop the kite out the sky. Power kites on the other hand look like parachutes you can't use these kites in the ocean but you can fly these on dry land.

Power Kiting: Safety Equipment: The kite that I'm flying at the moment is a power kite. You have a harness that you wear round your waist this allows you to rest your arms and not put to much strain on them. Which this kite will do in a strong wind. So the kite pulls you by the waist. You have a special wrisit band to use to help steer the kite. Included in this band is a special strap that straps round your wrist so if you ever in trouble you can release the wrisit band the straps round your wrisit will pull a capable that will release your kite and leave you safe behind. This is the main safety feature.

How to Fly: The main concept of flying this kite is like a pulley system push and pull. Your safety area is the apex this is the area right above your head since here there will be the least pull from the kite. If you want to steer left you pull your left wrisit to your left hip and push your right arm forward. don't over turn has this will cause great pull on you. To turn right is the direct opposite. When learning just do small turns right above you. once you become more confident do larger turns and feel how much more powerfull the kite will start pulling you. A very important thing to remeber is to always keep your feet in front of you. If you don't do this the kite could pull you over and you can get seriouslly hurt.

All I can say now is that this is a great sport but it does take practice and co-ordination. It is dangerous to yourself and others round you so be carefull and make sure you get someone who knows what they doing to help you the first couple times.
