Feel like flying with intention?
Solo, just you and the wind — dual-line individual flying is where control, flow, and focus meet. These figures challenge your ability to draw precise shapes in the sky, using only two lines and your sense of rhythm.
This page gathers all the official compulsory figures for the Dual-line Individual Precision discipline, as defined in the ISK 3.0 rules (April 1st, 2017). Each figure includes its diagram and description, ready for you to explore and practice at your own pace.
If you landed here directly, we recommend starting with our overview of compulsory figures to get a sense of their role in sport kite competition—and how they can help you grow as a pilot.

DI 02 – Circle
Judges will particularly consider
- Circle
- Speed control
- Position within the precision grid
- IN/OUT at same location
DI 03 – Circle Over Diamond
Judges will particularly consider
- Relative placement of components
- Relative size of components
- Parallel lines
- Angles
- Speed control
Explanation
- The circle is directly above the diamond.
- The diameter of the circle is the same as the width and height of the diamond.
DI 05 – Lap and Snap
Judges will particularly consider
- Parallel lines
- Two-point landing
- Arcs
- Right angle
- Relative placement of components
- Relative size of components
Explanation
- The landing is quick and executed close to the ground.
- The downward arc on the left side of the window is directly under the IN.
- The landing is in the center of the figure and the precision grid.
DI 07 – Jump
Judges will particularly consider
- Right angles
- Arc
- Straight lines
- Position within the precision grid
- Speed control
DI 08 – Pyramid
Judges will particularly consider
- Position within the precision grid
- Relative size of components
- Equal size of IN and OUT horizontal lines.
- Straight lines
- Speed control
Explanation
The base angles are equal.
DI 09 – Octagon
Judges will particularly consider
- Position within the precision grid
- Relative size of components
- Speed control

DI 11 – Split Figure Eight
Judges will particularly consider
- Relative placement of components
- Speed control
- Position within the precision grid
- Straight lines
- Arcs
Explanation
The diagonal line is as shown.
DI 12 – Stops
Judges will particularly consider
- Stall
- Speed control
- Launch
- Relative placement of components
- Straight lines
- Position within the precision grid
Explanation
- 2 push stalls are executed on the vertical line.
- 2 snap stalls are executed on the horizontal line.
DI 13 – Steps
Judges will particularly consider
- Horizontal lines
- Vertical lines
- Position within the precision grid
- Relative size of components
- Speed control
DI 14 – Register
Judges will particularly consider
- Relative placement of components
- Arc
- 90° turns
- Position within the precision grid
DI 15 – LSI
Judges will particularly consider
- Arcs
- Relative placement of components
- Lines
- 90° turns
DI 16 – Two Squares and Stalls
Judges will particularly consider
- Relative Placement of Components
- Stalls
- Turns
- Position in the Precision Grid
Explanation
IN at 50 left 10 vertical. Kite flies to 10 left and stalls. Kite files a square box 30×30 counter clockwise and continues horizontally to 30 right, turning up and flying to 80 vertical. Kite flies three sides of a square box 30×30 counter clockwise and stalls at 30 right 50 vertical. Kite flies up to 90 vertical. OUT
DI 17 – Wedge
Judges will particularly consider
- Position within the Precision Grid
- Relative Placement of Components
- Speed control
- Turns
Explanation
The place where the kite is when the flyer calls out must be the same point where the first right angle was made.
DI 18 – Square Cuts
Judges will particularly consider
- Turns
- Relative Placement of Components
- Speed Control
- Position within the Precision Grid
Explanation
- Each square cut equals 20% of the vertical and horizontal window.
- Turns are closely space.
DI 19 – Launch, Circle, and Land 2P
Judges will particularly consider
- Straight lines
- Two-Point landing
- Turns
- Speed Control
- Circle
- Position within the precision grid
Explanation
Launch, right flank at 40% vertical, circle, flank down at 50% horizontal to a Two-Point Landing.
DI 20 – Boomerang
Judges will particularly consider
- Parallel lines
- Arc
- ½ Axels
- Placement of elements within the precision grid
Explanation
Enter at 20˄, execute a ½ axel at centre of window and continue into arc. At 70˄ execute a second ½ Axel immediately above where first ½ axel was placed and continue into level flight, parallel to original line of entry. Call out immediately above the point where IN was called.
📖 Conclusion
These figures may look simple on paper, but they reveal a lot about your flying. Practicing them sharpens your skills and helps you fly with intention.
Don’t rush. Pick one. Try it. Then try again.
And when you’re ready, go see how pairs and teams take it to the next level!
