Unroll the kite perpendicular to the direction of the wind, with the leading edge facing into the wind. Place piles of sand between the struts on the canopy of the kite near the leading edge. Pump each of the struts first, starting at one wingtip and working all the way to the other. Securely attach the pump leash to the center of the kite and pump the leading edge as firm as possible. The only time you need to be concerned about too much air in the leading edge is if the kite will be sitting on hot sand for a period of time (air expands as it heats up). Flip the kite over and pile sand on top to hold it down to the ground.
