Hey people, been flying my trainer kite for a while now. Just waitin for some money to come through to take my lessons.

Anyway, besides loops, is there any kinda "tricks" or something i can be trying out with my trainer in the mean time??? Something to make my trainer sessions a bit more challenging until i get my "propper" kite stuff n lessons..

been doing loops n trying to dive it n see how close i can get to the sand before pulling up. Just wandering what else you people do.. Thanks..

Try and take out small dogs and elderly people on the beach who walk near the kite. Also, if you have a quad kite at the mo, try blocking the wind from any nearby seagulls, its a larf watching them fall out of the sky.
You could also try spelling out swearwords with the kite, nobody else will know what you are up to, but on the inside you will feel like a kite flying bad-ass who plays by his own rules....

Flying one-handed while not looking, Walking upwind, downwind, carry a board in the other hand.

Get so used to flying it you don't need to look.

haha, gotta try that one!!!!

I'm trying to fly without looking one handed, can be hard steering it left (holding with your right hand) steering right seems easyer coz ya can use your thumb to push the bar right. but pushing it left, you dont seem to have as much leverage. Any tips on that one???
