- 1). Locate the spot on the kite where the strings meet the kite itself. The center of a kite's pressure is where your kite gets all of its control. On different styles, this is located in different places. This pressure point is generally where the strings are centered for balance.
- 2). Experiment with different kite wind conditions. Higher winds demand stronger material and sturdier construction. The larger the kite is, the more control and bigger tricks a kite operator can perform.
- 3). Buy a diamond-shaped kite. These kites cut through wind rather well with a pointed front end. However, there are others that look like a wing. Flat kites are the most versatile as far as how they handle wind conditions.
- 4). Create a box shape for a more challenging kite to operate. These 3D constructions are more complicated to operate because of the different wind resistance they pick up.
- 5). Check out kites shaped like birds of prey. Try these kites to see how they utilize aerodynamics to fly. Kites shaped like different birds often operate much like the birds they represent.
- 6). Expand into larger kites for more control and the ability to perform tricks such as sky flips and low water flyovers.
