Introduction
Hello
Powerkiting has never been more popular, which is great news if – like us – you live to fly.
Unfortunately as the number of flyers has increased, the number of injuries and accidents has gone up too. People with little or no experience buy kites that are too powerful for them and then start flying without any tuition. It’s a recipe for disaster.
This guide is designed to help you get to grips with the basics so you can go kiting without catastrophe.
It’s not a tutorial on how to fly a kite – that information is available elsewhere, including in your instructor’s head, your kite's instruction manual and from your local retailer.
