Start letting more and more string out until the kite reaches a good height – about 50-100 feet high. It’s crucial that you keep your eyes on your kite when it’s up in the air and watch for sudden changes in wind. If your kite dips, run or pull the string in a bit to give it a lift.

When you’re done flying and ready to bring in your kite, lower it slowly to the ground by winding in the string around the spool in your hand. When it’s close enough, reach out and grab your kite in your hand before it hits the ground. Crash landings may look cool, but they can damage your kite.
