The kite, which has over 1000years old, is more and more popular right now around the world. Kiting is already not only for fun, but also could prevent some neck disease happening especially to those people sitting in from the computers all the day. Fly a kite, you need running, heading, One more important thing is you need some skills, especially to the new players.

On a sunny weekend, I cheerfully go to fly a kite with me roommates. We went to a square place and many people already are there, some people are camping, the children are running and laughing, some people are flying their kites. Many colorful kites with lovely images are in the sky. What we flying is a Nemo, very cute fish.
Unfortunately my roommates and I are new players, we tried and tried many time to fly the kite, but we cannot make the kite even over 5meters.Then we need the help, we are so lucky that we got the instruction from a warm heart uncle, he give us some advices which help us a lot.
First of all, the player needs to know the direction and the strength of the wind, this could be defined by watching the flying flag or smoke or you could figure this out by thronging a piece of leaf or a small piece of paper. How to judge the strength of the wind??See how far the leaf flying, LOL.
When you feel the wind is strong enough, you can take the kite run against the wind direction, loose the kite line when you think the kite will hold in the sky. Loose your line slowly to make the kite clime up in a slow way. During this time, if the wind gets weak, you have to take back the line fast to make the kite continuously climbing up. Certainly when the kite pulls the line harder, you have to loose the line a little bit. So this is a kind of game back and forward, general speaking, the purpose is making the kite staying in the sky stable instead of falling down.
Sometimes the wind gets stronger suddenly, the kite swings in the sky sharply, then the player has to loose the line fast or step forward faster to make the kite stable in the sky. Oppositely, when the wind gets weaker, the player has to take back the line fast or step back faster.
In case of two kite lines tangle together, the worst thing is the player takes back the lines which will make the kite loosing balance and fall down immediately, the correct action is : DONNOT PANIC, two players get closer, exchange the positions, loose the line a little bit, the lines will release accordingly.
Finally, when you take the line back, you have to take much care of the tall building or trees, try to stay away from those tall things in order to avoid falling kite hanging on it.
With the instructions, my roommates and I try several times to make the kite flying, in the beginning, it fails because we could not cooperate successfully, but finally we make it! Nemo is flying in the sky! How happy we are when we see the kite climbing! We are trying to make the kite as far as possible till the line ends.
That is really funny for kiting, we are sure this is not the last time we go.
