Description
Horizontal flight - Turtle - 360° rotation in the same direction as flight path (i.e top wing initiation) - recovery - horizontal flight out.Execution
Primary Execution
Fly the kite horizontal to the ground. Then give a small pop to the top wing and then imediatly give slack. This will knock the air out of the sail and the kite will fall back into a Turtle. Pop the same wing again so the kite spins through 360°. Then pull on both lines to recover the kite and continue flying in the same direction.Video Links
