Phase 3 for Quattichem In recent days, Quattichem have decided that the scope of our contract relating to the location of their
new manufacturing plant should be changed. The search location has been amended to include the shortlisted
countries in Africa and several potential host countries in their Asia region. This means that the latest
shortlist of thirty seven countries identified by Quattichem must be investigated as part of this contract.
I have in the last 10 minutes received an e-mail which contains brief details of another three countries
that they would like to be added to the existing list. These are Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Laos. A
revised data file which will contain the initial details of all these countries will be collated and
available for use by the end of today.
Please note that the following countries are the prime suppliers of the bulk dry materials used in the
manufacturing processes:
• Thailand
• Indonesia
• South Africa
• Switzerland

Most of these materials will be transported in bulk powder form, so it is essential that good transport
links are established or can be established without prohibitive costs. The contract has been extended to
include the requirement for approximate costs to be shown, particularly in relation to the enhancement of
the transport network in the area as well as an overall budget for the design and construction of the site.
Please add a 30% contingency cost to all projected budgets before they are submitted as part of the report.
Recent developments internationally which have banned the use of single hulled oil tankers in some regions
of the world must be taken into account. The plant's requirement for heavy crude oil, with an approximate
consumption of 6000 barrels a day, will mean that a port taking only the most modern supertankers must be
on site or available locally, if the region selected does not have this type of oil locally produced.
Please ensure that the other primary location factors, that is political stability, availability of water
and good transport links are also given high priority. Another factor is that a remote location is
required, at least 12 kilometres away from any centres of population. We must ensure that we evaluate the
physical geography of the location, existing transportation links and the potential for new transportation
links, climate, political structures and stability, as well as the other requirements mentioned above.
Please identify any potential problems with selecting this location, even if they have not been identified
in any of the notes within this document or from the briefing meeting. This will probably be the most
critical factor in your report. It must be on a relatively flat area of land in excess of 60000 hectares
which must not contain a habitat for any protected species of flora or fauna. Approximately 20000 hectares
of the site will be set aside to allow this water to cool back to the natural ambient temperature, before
it is returned to the locality.

The new contract also requires us to produce some draft marketing strategies using the environmental
aspects. They believe that in a changing global economy, consumers are prepared to pay a little extra to
ensure that natural resources are preserved and natural habitats are protected. As Quattichem use large
quantities of oil and other resources, there would appear to be a conflict of interests here and they are
keen to try and persuade the consumers of their wide range of products of their 'green' credentials.
In light of the changes to the contact, the team has been enlarged. Safraz has been seconded to the team
for the next week and will lead the work on the environmental preservation. The existing teams working
under David will continue to collect and collate all the relevant information about all countries on the
latest list. Sofia's team will initially focus on those countries where annual Imports are greater than 10
AND less than 300 and with a population of less than 3,000,000. The starting point for this team will be
the following countries:
Sofia's team will ensure that all potential sites within these countries have been investigated by
Tuesday's briefing meeting. By this stage David's team should have all the geographical data on these
countries collated and presented, especially those relating to earth movements, earthquakes and any
volcanic activity. I appreciate that for some team members it will involve working in unfamiliar areas,
but it is essential that we have several options that can be developed into in-depth studies prior to the
final deadline on the 15th. New team allocations will be:

Our research into the different consumer profiles has given us some very interesting results. The
younger elements of the potential customer base have clearly identified four areas that they consider
make the difference between a good phone and the others. These are:
•
games
•
music
•
sports
•
camera
In order to identify the key factors which could form the basis of our campaign, we must review these
areas. In terms of games, there appear to be two distinct types of player. There is the game addict
who will sit for hours magically attracted to the mobile to the exclusion of everything else. The
other type of games player is the casual user who wants to kill some time, perhaps on the journey
home. The mobile phone now allows users to download and play a range of fantastic games anywhere, at
any time. The music element allows the user to download the latest ring tones to their phone, from a
variety of sources like websites, MTV or Musiwave. Other downloads in this category are voicemail
greetings and messages from pop stars, bands and other celebrities. Depending on the service
provider, most mobile phones will provide results, news and gossip from top sporting fixtures around
the world. The camera now seems to be firmly embedded into the latest mobile phones, allowing
pictures to be taken and sent instantly to friends or family from anywhere in the world. These can
be sent to other picture messaging mobiles or to computers. The technology is also available to

download hundreds of images and animations from a variety of picture galleries, ranging in content
from celebrity sightings to funny cartoons.
Research of the mobile phones currently on the market offers us additional information that can be
used in the planning of the advertising campaign. The team needs to be fully aware of the latest
updates in the technology and the terminology in use. Picture messaging refers to the ability to
send, receive and forward messages, including images, text and sound. The image quality of colour
screens varies according to the number of colours built into the screen. The current fascination
with ring tones is to have polymorphic ring tones. This means that the phone can play more than a
single note at a time. Java is the programming language that enables many of today's mobiles to play
the games. GRPS gives the user the always on internet connection which means fast WAP access. This
allows the user to access many internet based services. Most of the currently favoured mobiles have
speed dial, which means that numbers can be dialled at a single touch. Bluetooth technology allows
the mobile user to share data with a computer or to talk hands free without using any connecting
wires.

Cost is a critical factor for many customers. The table below shows some sample costs from two of
the network providers:
The differences in these costs make it difficult to select a network service provider. If our client
advertised some method of simplifying these charges, perhaps in conjunction with a provider, they
would be likely to increase their business instantly.
Another method of promoting specific phones might be to identify up to three manufacturers like these
and promote their products:
All of these manufacturers have expressed a keen interest to try and create a joint advertising
campaign with our client. We will need to do further investigation into a closer working
relationship with each of these organisations and then meet with our client to try and negotiate a
joint campaign. It is likely that in the end we will select only one of the three, and all staff
must be careful in their dealings with these companies to promise nothing, as they will still be
providing goods and services to our clients long after this advertising campaign has been completed.
There are several accessories that have been found as potential lead items for the campaign. Nokia
have recently introduced a new wireless headset using bluetooth technology. This gives the user
hands-free control of their mobile without cables and wires. The earpiece fits inconspicuously in
either ear and could make an ideal Christmas promotion. Nokia have also developed a streamlined
music stand which may also attract attention from younger consumers. It allows the phone to charge

Those phone users who have already bought a colour phone before the boom in photo messaging may be
pleased to see a lightweight digital camera headset that will plug into 5 different models of Nokia
phone. The advent of video capture and playback is also worthy of further consideration.

data with a computer or to talk hands free without using any
connecting wires.
Cost is a critical factor for many customers. The table below shows
some sample costs from two of the network providers:
Charges Provider A Provider B
Text 12p per message 5p per message
Mobile to mobile 20p 40p
Answerphone 10p 15p
WAP 10p 6p
The differences in these costs make it difficult to select a network
service provider. If our client advertised some method of simplifying
these charges, perhaps in conjunction with a provider, they would be
likely to increase their business instantly.
Another method of promoting specific phones might be to identify up to
three manufacturers like these and promote their products:
Make Model Talk time Standby time
Alcatel One Touch 501 270 220
Philips Fisio 311 270 320
Philips Fisio 820 330 400
Sendo D800 180 300
Sendo P200 390 360
Sendo S230 210 360
All of these manufacturers have expressed a keen interest to try and
create a joint advertising campaign with our client. We will need to
do further investigation into a closer working relationship with each
of these organisations and then meet with our client to try and
negotiate a joint campaign. It is likely that in the end we will
select only one of the three, and all staff must be careful in their
dealings with these companies to promise nothing, as they will still
be providing goods and services to our clients long after this
advertising campaign has been completed.
There are several accessories that have been found as potential lead
items for the campaign. Nokia have recently introduced a new wireless
headset using bluetooth technology. This gives the user hands-free
control of their mobile without cables and wires. The earpiece fits
inconspicuously in either ear and could make an ideal Christmas
promotion. Nokia have also developed a streamlined music stand which
may also attract attention from younger consumers. It allows the
phone to charge whilst making calls, and can take external devices
like a compact disk player or an MP3 player. Those phone users who
have already bought a colour phone before the boom in photo messaging
may be pleased to see a lightweight digital camera headset that will
plug into 5 different models of Nokia phone. The advent of video
capture and playback is also worthy of further consideration.

IGCSE - OCT/NOV 2006 0418/02
UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL EXAMINATIONS
International General Certificate of Secondary Education MARK SCHEME for the May/June 2007 question paper
0418 INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
0418/02 Paper 2 (Practical Test A), maximum raw mark 100
This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and candidates, to indicate the requirements of
the examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not
indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began.
All Examiners are instructed that alternative correct answers and unexpected approaches in
candidates’ scripts must be given marks that fairly reflect the relevant knowledge and skills
demonstrated.
Mark schemes must be read in conjunction with the question papers and the report on the
examination.
• CIE will not enter into discussions or correspondence in connection with these mark schemes.
CIE is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2007 question papers for most IGCSE, GCE
Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level syllabuses and some Ordinary Level syllabuses.

Earlier in the year we started to analyse the sales
profile for the stationery business stream within
Hothouse. The areas of initial investigation were
selected as the management of our sales team, our
customer base, website effectiveness, and an
analysis of our most successful product lines. In
some of these cases the initial data collection has
now been completed and samples of this data are
included within this draft report. Other data will need
to be collected and collated prior to the next meeting
of the management committee.
The current sales team has a mixture of staff, some
of whom, are long established and are likely to
remain with the company for the foreseeable future.
Many of the more recent recruits are being paid
minimal wages and there tends to be a high staff
turnover. With the increasing cost of training staff in
customer relations, there is surely a case for
increasing the rates of pay of these members of the
department. In the long term it is likely to dividends,
as the costs of staff recruitment and training in this
area far surpass those paid to our employees in
wages. The need for training would not be entirely
removed, but initial feasibility studies suggest that
more than 80% of the training and recruitment budget
for this department could be saved. If half of this
saving was used to fund pay rises for the current
employees, it would increase their hourly rate by an
average of 27%. This would encourage our
employees to stay, yet still save us 40% of our annual
training and recruitment budget for the department.
Those people currently employed are:
Years Surname Responsibility
15 Pollard Sales Manager
27 Smith Shop
11/12 Smith Telephone Sales
2 Khan Website
5/12 Trapionni Stock Control
1/12 Park Shop
1 week Pires Website
Another possibility to help reduce staff turnover would
be to offer sales incentives to those who help to
increase sales. This would be in place of the
enhanced wages. It could operate in one of two
ways, either the entire team get bonuses if sales
reach pre-defined targets or individual bonuses could
be awarded. Each of these schemes has its own
merits. The first idea gives a sense of a team, where
they are working for each other and the second idea
would make individuals strive to sell more items,
although it does little to promote the team approach.
Possible timings for these bonuses include:
1. weekly
2. monthly
3. quarterly
4. annually.
As a consequence of these ideas, we need to look at
similar incentive schemes in other businesses to see

if they have had the required effect on their staff.
This needs to be researched by next Friday.
The review of the house styles for the website update
that is currently in development has been subtly
changed. Some further changes to this need to be
made, but this sample gives an idea of some of the
styles suggested for the latest version of the
stylesheet:
p {color: #00ff22; font-family: arial, helvetica,
sans-serif; font-size: 11pt}
li {color: #ff0000; font-family: times, “times new
roman”; font-size: smaller}
h3 {color: #000000; font-family: arial, helvetica,
font-size: larger; font-weight: bold}
These styles will need updating before they can be
applied to the website. Other useful data needs to
include a snapshot of a single day’s trading. This
data has been recently updated to reflect the
changing staff within the sales department. The table
of data below shows the sum of the number of
individual items sold per employee and the count of
the number of individual transactions in a single day’s
trading:
Staff Sum Of Sales Count Of Sales CP 414 16
CS 26 7
IS 197 25
KP 205 10

Our business grew out of an interest, (bordering on obsession!)
with the world’s favourite drink and it continues to delight us. We
are looking forward to continuing our service for at least the next
ten years, so please carry on drinking! Remember, “a day without
tea is like a day without sunshine” as a wise person once said!
Our range of coffees is selected only from the
cream of the crop from each country. They
are chosen for their extra quality and unique
characteristics, which are linked directly to
their growing conditions and equally
importantly the way they are farmed. Special
thanks should go to these farmers whose artistry in their field has
enabled us to enjoy these true coffee delights. Creating a fine
product is a painstaking achievement of which they are justifiably
proud, especially in a market where general standards of quality
are declining due to unsustainable low prices.
We offer flavour notes as a guide (see the labels) but the best
way to find out what they are like is to try them! We feel the best
way to appreciate most of our coffees is in a cafetiere or filter but
we have also stated those coffees suitable for making espresso or
cappuccino. We sell as little as 125g, which can be ground to suit
your requirements. For fresher coffee still, invest in a good
grinder, this makes even more difference.
We roast all our coffee in the shop in our small batch roaster, so
we can give careful attention to each varieties optimum roast. This
enables us to bring out the unique characteristics that our coffees
are prized for. It also means you get to try truly fresh coffee.
Our range of tea is chosen
from thousands of samples
sent to us each year from
the producing countries
around the world. No
speciality worthy of the
name passes us by and
often we are the exclusive stockists in this country, if not Europe,
of the world’s finest and most rare varieties. We now have a
special relationship with growers and their agents in the country of
origin and this gives us access to teas picked on as little as one

morning of the year in the greatest tea gardens of the world and
even teas that are grown only for us by special order. The
following table indicates the number of varieties we import from
the major producing countries and also the quantity of stock we
hold from each country:
Stock summary
Country CountOfProduct SumOfStock
Ceylon 20 4421
China 48 8317
Guatemala 4 968
India 57 10259
Kenya 4 817
This also enables us to keep a good supply as demand for
unusual teas has grown over the past ten years and there is
fiercer competition for the limited stock. These rare teas are part
of our range of over three hundred types. In offering so many teas
that standing on their own would seem like one of the most
precious things in the world can slip by unnoticed. We urge you to
be as experimental as possible and to take time to discover and
enjoy the little gems gracing our shelves.
Tea cultivation is as complex, if not more so than wine producing,
so it should not be a surprise to see so many varieties on offer.
Great variation in quality and flavour exist, even from the same
bush in the same garden! These variations are a result of many
things such as climatic conditions, soil type, time of year, how the
leaves are picked and as importantly, how they are processed. It
is a perfect balance of nature and nurture.
Despite this almost boundless choice, most of tea drunk in this
country is blended to remove these unique characteristics and
provide a homogenised product where choice is limited to which
shape of teabag you prefer! Although as a nation we are one of
the largest tea consumers it is widely acknowledged that nearly all
of the tea imported into Britain is of the “poorest quality
imaginable”. For the past ten years we are pleased to have played
a small part in changing this.

Our principles of business have always been to:
! seek the finest products available
! buy direct from known producers
! build “Fair trade” relationships
! allow customers to “try before you buy”
! follow up feedback from customers
There has recently been a decline in sales, both in the shop and
by mail order. For this reason we have decided to experiment with
setting up a web site and introducing on-line shopping. As we
have little experience of this kind of work, we have approached a
web hosting company, Hothouse Design who will support us in
developing and running the web site. I have prepared material for
a presentation for the staff to keep them aware of developments.
Our contacts at Hothouse Design are the following and I suggest
that these people take responsibility for the links:

morning of the year in the greatest tea gardens of the world and
even teas that are grown only for us by special order. The
following table indicates the number of varieties we import from
the major producing countries and also the quantity of stock we
hold from each country:
Stock summary
Country CountOfProduct SumOfStock
Ceylon 20 4421
China 48 8317
Guatemala 4 968
India 57 10259
Kenya 4 817
This also enables us to keep a good supply as demand for
unusual teas has grown over the past ten years and there is
fiercer competition for the limited stock. These rare teas are part
of our range of over three hundred types. In offering so many teas
that standing on their own would seem like one of the most
precious things in the world can slip by unnoticed. We urge you to
be as experimental as possible and to take time to discover and
enjoy the little gems gracing our shelves.
Tea cultivation is as complex, if not more so than wine producing,
so it should not be a surprise to see so many varieties on offer.
Great variation in quality and flavour exist, even from the same
bush in the same garden! These variations are a result of many
things such as climatic conditions, soil type, time of year, how the
leaves are picked and as importantly, how they are processed. It
is a perfect balance of nature and nurture.
Despite this almost boundless choice, most of tea drunk in this
country is blended to remove these unique characteristics and
provide a homogenised product where choice is limited to which
shape of teabag you prefer! Although as a nation we are one of
the largest tea consumers it is widely acknowledged that nearly all
of the tea imported into Britain is of the “poorest quality
imaginable”. For the past ten years we are pleased to have played
a small part in changing this.

Our principles of business have always been to:
! seek the finest products available
! buy direct from known producers
! build “Fair trade” relationships
! allow customers to “try before you buy”
! follow up feedback from customers
There has recently been a decline in sales, both in the shop and
by mail order. For this reason we have decided to experiment with
setting up a web site and introducing on-line shopping. As we
have little experience of this kind of work, we have approached a
web hosting company, Hothouse Design who will support us in
developing and running the web site. I have prepared material for
a presentation for the staff to keep them aware of developments.
Our contacts at Hothouse Design are the following and I suggest
that these people take responsibility for the links:

Although as a nation we are one of the largest tea consumers it is widely acknowledged
that nearly all of the tea imported into Britain is of the “poorest quality imaginable”. For
the past ten years we are pleased to have played a small part in changing this.
Our range of tea is chosen from thousands of samples sent to us each year from the
producing countries around the world. No speciality worthy of the name passes us by
and often we are the exclusive stockists in this country, if not Europe, of the world’s
finest and most rare varieties. We now have a special relationship with growers and
their agents in the country of origin and this gives us access to teas picked on as little as
one morning of the year in the greatest tea gardens of the world and even teas that are
grown only for us by special order.
This also enables us to keep a good supply as demand for unusual teas has grown over
the past ten years and there is fiercer competition for the limited stock. These rare teas
are part of our range of over three hundred types. In offering so many teas that standing
on their own would seem like one of the most precious things in the world can slip by
unnoticed. We urge you to be as experimental as possible and to take time to discover
and enjoy the little gems gracing our shelves.

Tea
Coffee
Our range of coffees is selected only from the
cream of the crop from each country. They
are chosen for their extra quality and unique
characteristics, which are linked directly to
their growing conditions and equally
importantly the way they are farmed. Special
thanks should go to these farmers whose
artistry in their field has enabled us to enjoy
these true coffee delights. Creating a fine
product is a painstaking achievement of
which they are justifiably proud, especially in
a market where general standards of quality
are declining due to unsustainable low prices.
We roast all our coffee in the shop in our small batch roaster, so we can give careful
attention to each varieties optimum roast. This enables us to bring out the unique
characteristics that our coffees are prized for. It also means you get to try truly fresh
coffee.

We offer flavour notes as a guide (see the labels) but the best way to find out what they
are like is to try them! We feel the best way to appreciate most of our coffees is in a
cafetiere or filter but we have also stated those coffees suitable for making espresso or
cappuccino. We sell as little as 125g, which can be ground to suit your requirements.
For fresher coffee still, invest in a good grinder, this makes even more difference.
Our principles of business have always been to:
1. seek the finest products available
2. buy direct from known producers
3. build “Fair Trade” relationships
4. allow customers to “try before you buy”
5. follow up feedback from customers.
One of the lessons we have learned from our customer feedback is that some of you
prefer decaffeinated varieties, so we have added these products to our regular list:
Code Product Stock Price
484 Peruvian Treasure Organic 178 £4.50
471 Maya Gold 119 £4.50
470 Blue Pearl per 125g. 473 £4.50

This is our first quarter report for the specialist holiday bookings that we
offer in Europe and now in the Caribbean. In the report we will give up to
date information on the chosen locations, sales and the take up of mini
tours. You will see that the new sales staff have performed well and that we
have a great season ahead of us. The locations we are using are:
Code Location Hotel
JGBEXL Jersey Excelsior
ALMGPL Almeria Gran Lujo Playa
GCAPRG Grand Cayman Paradise Retreat
Our new offering is at the Paradise Retreat golf complex on Grand Cayman.
This is such a beautiful location with facilities offered to the highest
standards that we are sure it will become a very desirable destination for our
most discerning guests. With its success established, we look forward to
introducing another special holiday location in the coming year.
The Jersey hotel and golf complex is a well established favourite and uses
the beautifully situated Excelsior hotel on St Brelade’s Bay. Its fine views
and excellent golf facilities attract players and their guests to return year
after year. Almeria is a favourite escape for the professional in the cooler
months at the end of the year or in the New Year, but attracts bookings all
year round.
We plan to add new destinations in the coming months and are actively
seeking suitably excellent hotels with all the facilities that our guests would
expect and demand.. At the moment we have not finalised our contracts.
We plan to use this picture of our next mystery destination in our new
brochure:

This is our second quarter report for the
specialist holiday bookings that we offer in
Europe, the Caribbean and now in the
Maldives. In the report we will give up to date
information on the chosen locations, sales and
the take up of mini tours. You will see that the
new sales staff who were already performing
well have continued their hard work to ensure
that the season continues to promise great
success. The locations we are using are:
Code Location Hotel
JGBEXL Jersey Excelsior
ALMGPL Almeria Gran Lujo Playa
GCAPRG Grand
Cayman
Paradise Retreat
MALTPG Maldives Paradise Golf
SEYNSG Seychelles Nine South Golf
The Jersey hotel and golf complex is well
established and a favourite with our guests for
short breaks. It uses the beautifully situated
Excelsior hotel on St Brelade’s Bay. Its fine
views and excellent golf facilities attract players
and their guests to return year after year.
Almeria is a favourite escape for the
professional in the cooler months at the end of
the year or in the New Year, but attracts
bookings all year round.
Our new offering is at the Paradise Retreat golf
complex on Grand Cayman. This is such a
beautiful location with facilities offered to the
highest standards and we have been delighted
that it has become such a desirable destination
for our most discerning guests. With its success
established, we have introduced another
special holiday location for this season with yet
one more under development.
The mystery destination is revealed as the
Maldives where a fabulous setting is awaiting
our favoured guests who will be offered the
chance to test this destination in the coming
quarter. Here is a glimpse of what is on offer:
This report details sales by staff at our London
offices. The new sales people who work in the
Strand office are included in this report. They
did particularly well in the first quarter sales
period. They are:

year is shown below as a summary of the
number of sales made and how many guest
tickets were sold. We also show separately the

The views of the new staff on their training needs
have been collected and analysed by the Human
Resources Director and plans for training will be
developed to include:
1. Training needs analysis
2. Induction
3. On-the-Job training
4. Off-the-Job training
A full and detailed training plan will be put forward with
our next report. The report will identify the training
needs of all employees in respect of their life long
learning as well as specific areas of expertise for their
current jobs.
Induction will be identified to include familiarisation with
the company and the work place including working
policies, health and safety requirements and initial
software training if needed.
All trainees will be assigned to a mentor who will
guide them in their work. This will be a companion
worker who will help to develop familiarisation of the
new worker with all aspects of day to day operations.
The training will be at the employee’s office and will
take place on a continuous basis.
The company takes customer support very seriously
and off the job training will include college courses in
customer relations, as well as updating specific skills.
This can be seen to be good for the employee and the
company. Experience of the holiday locations may
also be desirable to ensure employees can give
realistic feedback to customers based on experience.

Power Kite Sports
Draft Report by: name
You may have tired of spending your holiday lying
by the pool and have seen huge kites drifting over
the sea and decide you would like the challenge of
a new sport. You remember the little single string
kites you flew on the beach when you were a child,
but this seems to be a sport in a new dimension!
These kites pull you over the sea and allow you to
make huge jumps into the air. You decide to have
a go and perhaps become hooked on the
adrenaline rush of the world of modern power
kites.
Over the last centuries kites held a fascination for
scientists in their search for a means of transport
using a “heavier than air” machine. Such flight was
thought impossible, which seems strange now in
our age of jet transport, but the development of the
aerofoil shape of the kite wing led directly to an
understanding of powered flight. Kites were used
for scientific experiments, for rescue and had a
role in war.
Kites again attracted attention in the 1950s and
1960s when Francis Rogallo developed a
completely flexible kite, with no rigid supporting
spars. Instead of spars, this kite uses the wind
itself to hold it open and maintain its shape.
Rogallo was an aeronautical engineer working for
NASA. He was searching for a controllable
recovery system for spacecraft. This kite was the
first to be developed with the assistance of wind
tunnel testing, and is an indication of how far kites
have come since they were simply a child's toy.
Today there is an experimental ship which uses a
kite to supplement its power and to save fuel.
Traction power kites offer some of the fastest
growing sports in the world. These include power
kiting activities such as kite surfing, kite buggies,
snow kiting, land boarding and paragliding. These
sports all relate to existing sports but use wind to
power the vehicle.
Before you use a kite to ride, you need to learn to
fly it. A two line kite is easy to learn to fly. One line
is attached to each wrist and you pull the left one
to make the kite go left. Pull the right strap and the
kite goes to the right. Landing these types of kites
requires sending the kite to the edge of the
window, making sure it is low in the window, and
letting it land on the ground. The “window” is the
cone shaped area down wind in front of you. At the
top of the window the kite flies high and to the
sides it will fly lower.
A four line kite is needed
for surfing, boarding,
gliding, etc. The top two
lines are the power lines
and the bottom two provide
the brakes. The lines are
connected to a handle or
bar, and, by pulling on the
power lines, the kite will
take off and rise. Pulling
the brake lines causes the
kite to come down and
land. It is possible to launch
and land most of these kites without the assistance
of another person. Once you can launch, land and
fly your kite safely, you can learn to use the power
of the wind to pull you in your chosen vehicle.
Here are some basic safety rules that you should
always follow:
• Do not attempt to learn power kiting
without training
• Insure yourself with third party insurance
• Always wear safety protection (helmet and
pads)
• Never fly near power lines, roads, airports,
or trees
• Never fly in stormy weather
• Never touch the lines of a kite when under
tension
• Never fly upwind of a group of people
• Never over estimate your own ability
• Use kite killers
• Never fly attached to a fixed point!
If you follow all these rules, you will also maximise
your chances to have a great time flying your kites!

Although you will probably start with a small kite,
you may soon want a larger or more powerful one.
Here are some small kites suitable for a beginner,
some of which will still be suitable as you progress
to intermediate skills:
J10kites Query1 Model Size Use
Rage 1.8 Buggy / Land Board Cult 2.0 Buggy / Land Board Hornet 2.0 Buggy / Land Board Reactor 2.2 Buggy Blurr 2.5 Buggy Cult 2.5 Buggy / Land Board Rage 2.5 Buggy / Land Board Reactor 2.9 Buggy Hornet 3.0 Buggy / Land Board
For kite surfing you need a special surf board as
well as a suitable kite. These are generally large in
area, and need to be inflatable to float on the
water. You will probably need help to launch this
type of kite. Once you can surf, you can achieve
exhilarating speeds over the water and then learn
to jump and perform aerial acrobatics.
Talk to any kite surfer and they will all recommend
that you get professional lessons before you take
to the seas. Not only will this enhance your safety
and that of others too, but it will give you the
chance to try kite surfing without spending lots of
money on kit you may not use. We help you to
organise your holiday and suitable courses.
Here are some courses you might want to take:
If you do not want to surf with your kite, there are
several other sports you can take up. These
include land boarding, snow kiting, buggy racing
and paragliding. These sports generally match a
similar sport so that a land board is similar to a
skate board and for snow kiting you use a board
similar to a snow board.
A kite buggy is a light, purpose-built vehicle
powered by a traction kite (power kite). It is similar
to a land yacht, but the driver steers the single
front wheel with his feet, while he controls the kite,
usually attached on a harness, with his arms. The
speed achieved in kite buggies by skilled drivers
can range up to around 110 km/h (70 mph), hence
protective clothing, including a safety helmet, is
commonly worn. The kite buggy was probably
invented in China around the 13th century. It was
introduced by George Pocock in the UK in 1827
and kite buggies have been available commercially
in the USA and UK since the late 1970s.
Warm air thermal currents are used to paraglide.
The pilot who knows how to read the atmospheric
conditions can soar into the sky and hang in the air
for several hours. They may watch the birds of
prey circling in the thermals and follow their lead.
The experience is said to be extraordinary, with
sounds of voices curiously clear above villages
and the scents of pine forests carried up on the air.
With all these sports you may take them up just for
fun, or you may take part in competitions if you
become serious. You might take up kite surfing at
resorts in Egypt, or book a snow kiting holiday to
Norway. You might kite with your buggy in the
sand dunes of Dubai, or paraglide from the
mountains in the USA.
