A feel good video with cheerful music featuring: a happy yellow kite! I remember that yellow DIYed kite of yours from the NKM. Still using the same quite flexible LE spars here?

Yes that is a thing with QLKs (or HWKs for Hadziki Wing Kites?), you could (in principle) have a meaningful practice session standing on a platform no larger than the size of your feet and with a wind window limited to a few square meters.
I have a similar exercise to the one at 1:04 that I do now and then, where instead the LE is towards the ground on an “average”. I then try to hit the ground with a wingtip at 45 deg quite lightly (to mind any rare Swedish species of rodents 🙂 ) and then quickly the other wing tip at 45 deg and so on – the quicker the better. Everyone got their own taste and it is the kiters privilege to chose what things to do.

Yup! Skyshark P200 if I remember correctly. 😉
