KITE TIPS

Your new kite will weather. To avoid excessive wear and tear keep your kite out of extreme conditions.

It is not safe to fly your kite in poor weather conditions. It might hurt you or get your kite wet, which leads to fading.

Don't run with your kite, it may not be windy enough and trying to create your own wind may wear you or your kite out!

Electricity of any kind is dangerous to fly your kite around. Avoid power lines and bad weather.

In general, the larger you kite, the easier it is it fly!

You should always have a 360 degree clearance. There shouldn't be obstacles around you in any direction for the same distance as length of your string.

BOOGIE® BOAT KITE TIPS [boogie boat instruction sheet]

Boogies® fly best in 10 - 15 MPH wind. Bigger Boogies® like bigger winds!

The bridle is the string that comes attached to your Boogie®. The other string attaches to your bridle.

If your Boogie® isn't flying, you may want to move your attached string along the bridle toward the bow as in photo 2 above.

BUTTERFLY KITE TIPS [butterfly kite instruction sheet]

Butterflies soar best in 5 - 10 MPH wind.

Gain altitude quickly. When the butterfly reaches about 40 feet it becomes more stable.

The balance point is key. If you attach the line at a higher point on the butterfly, your kite will not gain altitude, but will be easier to fly. If you attach the line at a lower point on your kite, it will gain altitude but be trickier to maneuver.
