The teraju


The secret of making a kite that flies, lies in the teraju, the loop tied from the bottom of the kite to the crossing point of the bamboo and the final placement of the knot. Of course it is assumed that the kite is light, aerodynamic and also well balanced!

No, Hamilton is ok, The windy place is Wellington.
