This series takes a look at learning to power kite. If you have any questions or would like us to cover anything specific then please drop us a message in the comments below. If you’d like to test the water with kites or want something for the whole family then consider trying the Cross Kites Air Rainbow<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

For this session we ventured out to Cleeve Common in Cheltenham. Please note<\/em> if your flying at Cleeve Common there is a code of conduct: BKSA insurance or similar is a must and the wearing of a helmet is compulsory. We we’re greeted with clear blue skies, sunshine & of course a decent wind. The first thing we had to do was check our surroundings and setup our base in a location far from any obstructions or dangers. Cleeve Common is a large & relatively safe area the only thing we had to account for was several large mobile masts. It is also a good idea when out in fairly remote areas to make sure you have a phone signal so you can make emergency calls if needs be.<\/p>\n

Today we’re going to flying the Ozone Octane<\/a>. This is a beginner & intermediate kite ideal for progression. Its a great kite to get started with and will enable you to progress with a board<\/a> or buggy when your ready.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t
