Stunt kiting for beginners 1 - Unfolding your wings: before you fly
A lot of people buy a dual-line stunt kite or get one as a gift, and try flying it but have no idea how to do it, so they lose interest right away. It's easy to find tutorials in English, but much less so in my mother language Hungarian. This video is aimed first of all at Hungarians who don't speak English, but others may find it useful too with subtitles. The idea is to help you get started with stunt kiting, so maybe you'll get hooked and learn more on your own.
I'm an amateur, not a pro kite flier; I do not advertise any products and get no commission from any manufacturers or retailers. I do my best to convey true and useful information based on my own experience, but disclaim any and all responsibility for the correctness of this information or for any problems connected to following my advice.
This is the first video by "Szelekótya", about preparation for flight. Make sure you watch the others!
