After much searching here and on the internet in general, I still cannot figure out what a "Flare" is with a two line sport kite. Apparently it is so basic to kite flying that it's like breathing, no specific explanation is needed. I find it listed, but always along the lines of "From a Flare...", or "start with a flare..." or "it can be done from a flare at any point", "from a flare go to a fade".
So, for a beginner, please explain what a flare is.
Thanks,
Andrew
