– Tuning your kit: Modern kites will generally work well straight out of the bag, but there are small adjustments that can be made to change the flying characterists of some kites or the way your bar works. And over time you may find your lines need to be adjusted, both to tune your kite but also to fix some problems – something that can be a headache, so we cover it all in detail, so you’ll come to fully understand how your lines interact with the kite and bar.

Each chapter is built around our established Progression Method, which has proved successful over the past 7 years and 7 Progression DVDs. Detailed technique breakdown, common problem analysis, split screens, slow motion repeats and graphic overlays – all proven at aiding faster development.
