My very first flight was a success. Flight #2 never happened due to poor line management. I now have a better idea on how to take care of my gear. Thanks, it was helpful.
Thank you for making is video! I just took my kite to the beach for the second time and las time, I wrapped the line in a circle and sure enough, it was a tangle. I didn’t have a lot of time, so I didn’t actually get to fly. I’m ready for next time though. Thank you!
This video is without doubt the best i have ever seen on kite line management anywhere thank you sir for posting from the uk keep safe brother love the kite in this video cheers,Dellboy
Don't buy the straight wind will tangle. Never tangled for me. With the figure8 method the lines tend to slide down the angle and get loose, and more chance of catching/tangling on the next unwind. Also prefer wind to the kite, and out from the kite. That means you won't need a stake, and you always have the kite tied. And after an unwind you're ready to go right away.
Sorry I just seen your post, you can get the barracuda from us My Wind Stuff or Premierkites.com available only in 1.7 meter and 3 different color combos. Around $70
@@cgiebler69 Fair enough, it's certainly more alliterative, easier to remember. I just hope your students don't get confused when they buy/fly their first kite outside of school.

I’ve been flying stunt kites for years … this is one of the best beginner videos I’ve seen on TH-cam … great job!

Very helpful
Red on the right? Maybe it's a US thing but every kite I've ever bought has red on the left.
When I'm teaching, I thinks it's an easy thing to remember!
