Simplyfied kite instructions.

1. Keep main sheeted "firmly" at all times or you'll break your mast.

2. Generally speaking keep the traveller central and play the tiller (pull away to de-power)

3. If trying to maintain height, play traveller.

4. In shifty conditions do a bit of both. steering all over the place is very inefficient.

5. Have just enough board down to stop you going sideways. A cat hull going fwds through the water has a lot less drag than one going sideways.
