# Find a buddy to help you get the kite into the air.
# You should hold the ball of string and have your buddy hold the kite or vice versa. The kite should be facing you and the wind.
# Unwind about 30 yards (23 metres) of string.
# Signal to your buddy to release the kite. You should pull on the string to launch your kite into the air.
# Pay attention to the wind direction, here is a diagram:

* Suppose that “I” is you and “U” is the other person holding the kite
* Wind is blowing this direction: I ————————————> U
* “I” stands one end (with the string) ——> “U” stands other end ( with the kite)

# Make sure the wind is going in a straight line from you to the other person.
# To allow the kite to go higher, release lengths of string.
# To lower the kite, simply pull in the string.
