An explanation of our kite
categories...
Stunt Kites: Also known as performance kites or as
sport kites, traction kites, trick kites, power kites, dual
line kites and even quad line kites. These stunt kites are
quite the rage as with a bit of training you can make these
stunt kites do amazing tricks that will have onlookers
astounded. Most stunt kites have a frame or "sticks" that give
the kite their shape. These "rigid frame" kites can generate
high speeds as they fly through the air. If you have never
flown a stunt kite before and want to learn quickly, we suggest
purchasing "Catch The Magic"
available in DVD or VHS in our accessories section.
Power Kites: Once again, these dual or quad line kites
can also be known by all of the names listed above, but in this
case, the shape of the kite is determined by the way the fabric
is cut and sewn and is not shaped by the addition of "sticks."
Most often, the power kite is crescent shaped and can have two
or four lines to control it. One of the best features of a
power kite is your ability to fold a relatively large kite into
a small package for easy storage and travel. These power
parafoil kites can generate a large amount of "pull" which at
the very least will exercise your arms and shoulders and with a
large power parafoil kite and a good wind, your feet will leave
the ground! These power kites are also used in wind surfing,
skiing, roller bladeing, mountain boarding and buggying.
Smaller power parafol kites can do many of the same tricks as
the rigid frame stunt kites.
Flying Wonders Kites: This is
a large assortment of single line kites that are unusual in
their shape and design yet easy to fly. All of the single line
kites can be flown by a beginner. Flying Wonder kites don't fit
the traditional design of diamond or delta shape. Many are
shaped like airplanes or ships, flowers or insects. Flying
Wonder kites make great gifts because they are unusual yet easy
to fly. Single line kites are kites that once you have launched
your kite and if the wind remains steady, you should be able to
tie off your kite and take a walk. It means you don't always
have to hold on to it!
Delta kites: Delta kites are delta shaped...a 3
sided kite with a very wide base. How wide? Usually at least 4'
across at the base and we have some that measure 20' across at
the base! Delta kites fly high and they love to have lots of
tails, spinners and line laundry attached to them. Because
Delta kites have a large and flat surface area, kite designers
are able to apply some outstanding graphics that are impossible
to put on other styles of kites.
Diamond Kites: The diamond kite is the kite usually
associated with our friend, Mr. Ben Franklin. The diamond shape
kite needs a tail to steady it and all of our diamond kites
already have tails attached to them. Diamond kites have a
tendency to move erratically in the sky, diving and dipping,
but usually recover with a tug on the string. If you are a
traditionalist, diamond kites are probably for you.
Penta Kites: Penta kites have "five points"
representing the animal or human image with a head, two arms
and two legs. This enables the graphic artist to create
whimsical images that delight every kite flyer. They are easy
to fly and will attract a lot of attention.
Easy Flyers/Super Flyers: We get calls every day
asking for a kite that is fail safe, guaranteed to fly. Well,
so long as there is a steady breeze, we can guarantee that any
of the easyflyer/superflyer kites in this category will fly
with the minimum amount of effort...they will not disappoint
you!
Box Kites, Cellular Kites: Most of us are familiar
with box kites. Box kites need a little more wind than some of
the aforementioned kites, but if you have a good steady breeze,
they are a delight to fly. There are so many unusual shapes,
which means that they have more than the average number of
parts and take a bit more time to set up. But it is worth it -
and which is why serious kiters always have a few cellular
kites in their bag.
Parafoil Kites/Sled Kites: What makes parafoil and sled
kites so popular is that they have no sticks that can break and
they pack up into small pouches that travel just about
anywhere. The larger parafoil kites and sled kites have
significant pulling power that can hoist a lot of line laundry
...sort of like an anchor in the sky!
Dragon Kites: Dragon kites are those long wavy kites
you see in the sky that look like they could be 100 feet
long...and many of them are. Our dragon kites start at 18' and
they are just as exciting to watch and not difficult to
launch.
Rokkaku Kites: Rokkaku kites are also known as fighting
kites. They have six sides and are not easy to fly for the
beginner. Rokkaku kites are very popular among
collectors.
Mini Kites: Yes, mini kites really fly and they make
great party favors. We know a lot of adults that love to sit in
a beach chair and fly two or three mini kites at a time. (Yes
Grandpa and Grandma, I'm talking about you!)
Collections & Special Order Kites: There are
dozens of very talented kite designers throughout the world. It
would be impossible for us to carry each of their designs, but
now we have made it possible for you to purchase these very
special kites at very attractive prices. These kites are not
always in stock, so you may have to wait a while, but it will
be worth it.
Jackite Flying Bird Kites: If you have never seen these before, it is worth taking a look. They are usually flown from a bamboo or fiberglass pole on a short length of string, but they can also be flown as a kite. They are made from tyvek...the same material that Federal Express uses to make their mailing envelopes. They are difficult to assemble so we recommend that you purchase them pre-assembled. The graphics are hand drawn and stunning. But what is really amazing is the lifelike appearance that they give as they fly in the sky. Used in the most recent Superbowl and at the Atlanta Olympics closing ceremonies.
Kite String, Tails, Accessories, videos: Every kite
accessory including kite string in a variety of weights and
lengths, kite tails, kite spinners, kite videos, stunt kite
accessories, - everything you need to to fly a kite and more!
If you don't see what you need, please tell us so we can get it
for you.
Private Labeling kites: This area is not for if you
are looking for a single kite that you want to have
personalized with your name or message. We suggest buying one
of our kites and taking it to a silkscreener to do that. If on
the other hand, you are the purchasing manager for a large
resort or you are putting on a huge event for the next visit of
the Queen of England, let' talk...our minimum order is 3,000
kites, all of the same design.
Windfeather Banners: You have seen them at the
soccer fields, kiting events, in front of stores and many other
places, but you didn't know what they were called...it's
Windfeathers! now you know and you should take a look at this
large collection that will direct attention to your
event.
Specials and Kite Closeouts: It doesn't happen often,
but when it does...its a steal! Is this your lucky day?
