The sideways upwind walk will completely settle the kite down and it will not drift downwind.vela99 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 24, 2022 11:05 amI want to improve my self landing in moderate winds. Too often the kite does not completely settle down and starts drifting downwind.
What exactly do you achieve with this sideway upwind walk? (I understand we are talking about the moment when you let go off the bar and pull on the upper center line)
Thanks for clarifying.
This is incorrect, and using "right" and "left" are bad names to use for this because your perspective might change when rigging your kite.CaptainKook wrote: ↑Wed Aug 24, 2022 7:18 amWhen landing to to right side as in this video, rig your flag out line to the right side of kite when rigging using the downwind rigging method.
If landing to the left side when coming in, connect flag out line to the left side of kite.

Just do it like he says in the video, flag line must be on top when you perform this to have it land LE down.
Single center line has been around for 15 years and every nearly every kite has had single line front releases for a decade.edt wrote: ↑Wed Aug 24, 2022 5:34 pmthat video doesn't show lower center line. otherwise an excellent video. Lower center line is a relatively new technique as it relies on there being a "V" instead of "high Y" and it's only in the last 10 years that kites have gone away from mini-5th to center line flagging, so that's why lower center line isn't taught as much, it's a newer technique.
