Dual line basics - Flight
Combination turn
Combines the push turn and the pull turn. This type of turn is very abrupt
and angular. Pushing right and pulling left causes the kite to quickly turn
left (counterclockwise). Push left, pull right causes the kite to turn right
(clockwise). This move is the basis of many advances maneuvers.
Pull turn
The direction of the kite is determined by pulling one or the other
line. Pulling on the left line causes the kite to turn left
(counterclockwise). Pulling right causes the kite to turn right
(clockwise).
Push turn
Controls the direction of the kite by pushing one or the other line.
Push turns tend to be more crisp and angular. Push left and the kite
turns right (clockwise). Push right and the kite turns left
(counterclockwise).
