Packing Away Your Trainer Kite
Packing away your kite is exactly the same as setting it up but in reverse. Land your kite and secure it with something heavy and smooth (or something heavy and blunt...like your mate!). Then start wrapping the lines around the handle in a figure 8 motion walking towards the kite as you do it. The more care you take here the easier it will be to unwind the next time you come to fly your kite. If you make sure the lines are wrapped up tight it will make sure they don't fall off the handle whilst in storage and give you a huge headache untangling them next time round. Something to bear in mind is that for the first few weeks of kite flying the lines are the thing that are likely to give you the biggest headache by getting tangled, have patience with them. Take your time and put them away properly and you'll save yourself some real birds nests in your lines the next time you go kiting.
Once you reach the kite un-do the larks head knots and place the lines and handles/bar back in the bag. With the kite fold all the lines of the bridle into the centre of the kite and then take first one wing tip and fold it into the centre then repeat with the second. Keep folding the kite in this manner until is it fairly small then simply roll up and place back in the bag.
