Unlike “traditional” delta-style stunt kites, where the steering is slightly non-intuitive (you let out rather than pull in), this kite drives intuitively. And, since they are parafoils, you don’t worry about breaking expensive carbon fiber spars if you crash.<\/p>\n

Apparently, the inventor has had trouble getting dealers to market the kite as a stunt kite: dealers tended to classify it as a “power kite” for pulling loads, or as pocket kites.<\/p>\n

Anyway, these kites are only sold directly online. The website is a nightmare to navigate, but check out a few choice video clips.<\/p>\n
