Course 1 : To start

Course 1 teaches you basic flying : to launch, to land, basic turns, how to avoid crashes. At the end of the tutorial, you can fly unassumingly but acceptably.

Course 2 : To be in control

You will learn to launch again without your having to move, by manoeuvering the lines at a distance. You will also learn how to be in better control of your kite and to do your first figures : loopings, figures of eight, square turns.

You will complete the course by learning the pancake which will be your first trick and therefore your first flight with the kite flat, like a plane.

Course 3 : To Master

Learn to use the full wind window, to stop your kite, to get it to go exactly where you want. This is the difference between flying and managing a kite.

The turtle will be your first figure with the kite flat on its back.

Course 4 : To improve

You are no longer a beginner. You now need to get dexterity and learn to fly with the lines slack.

You will be learning to do launches which require precision and to improve on the turtle.

The axel will be your first real competition trick. It will be your first movement where the kite rotates parallel to the ground with lines slack. You need to master it totally since it is the basis for numerous other tricks.

Course 5 : To do figures

You can now step into freestyle tricks. You will be improving on the variants of the axel.

You will be learning your first belly launch and to land while doing a figure. The 180 degree vertical will be your first figure in nearly non-existent wind.

Course 6 : To do advanced tricks

Aside from the technical figures on the ground, learn the flatspin 540, a figure usually rated 3 (out of 5) in competitions

You will be learning the fade which will be your first figure with the kite flat on its back, nose pointing to you. Like the axel, the fade is the basis for numerous other figures.

Course 7 : Beyond fun flying

You will be improving on the fade which you should be able to do in light and in strong wind. You will also be learning to better hold your kite in a flat position.

You will be doing your first combinations and following on with back and belly flips, in particular the flip flop and the cuckoo clock.

Course 8 : Far beyond fun flying

You will be learning very technical figures in which the kite is turning upside down since the lines are twisted around it, in particular the lazy susan. You will also be learning the backspin, one of the key figures in competitions.

At the end of this course, you will therefore be able to get the kite to turn around all axes and to hold it in all the positions .
