[Sally · Rating 3 out of 5]

This slim volume does exactly what the title says. I haven't had a chance to try out any of its instructions with my (second-hand) stunt kite, so I can't vouch for whether they actually work or not, but they're written in a very clear way that made it delightful to visualize the day that I do get a good wind to play with it in, and gave me a much better understanding of what it's meant to do, and how.

Downsides: the 90s vomited really hard all over this book (First time in years I've seen "radical" used unironically to describe a sport); the author assumes you live in Britain so the descriptions of flying conditions and sites are a bit limited (which is to say, 'cold and damp'); and all but one person shown flying a stunt kite in the entire book is a young, fit white male, so I guess I'm not really supposed to be doing this anyway.
