Hey guys,
I Need some advice regarding my kite range.
I can ride upwind, now I would like to get my own equipment. I will be riding mostly in northern Germany and Denmark, but I will also do one or two kite Trips in the year. I was planing getting a 9 and 12.
Now I am considering the North Reach or Orbit or the Duotone Evo. I was also considering the Rebel, but I read the bar power ist quite strong.
After getting further practise, my plans are mainly learning jumps. What would you suggest me? I think I think I am currently not the biggest Fan of strong bar pressure.
With the Evo I was considering the SLS.
If you have any other advice, I am happy to get it
Thanks for helping!

Hi all, curious about this kite(?) I saw holidaying in Bali.
Do you think this is a kite? It was very high up, do kites go that high in the sky? Seemed like 100s of metres high (see end of video) It was sitting there for over 45mins until it was dark, which also seemed odd if it was a kite + is an interesting shape?
I dont know a lot about kites so would be cool to know if they can get that high!

Hi Folks - I am looking at building a kite or two for the first time in MANY years, and the places that I purchased materials from in the ancient past are no longer in business. Who do you purchase your kite fabrics and spars from now? I am based in the US.
Thank you!

A blue flamed 32 and a pinkish 16 trilobite are itching to paint smiles on the children's faces.
Hell yeah! :-)

Kites are: 2x Spiderkites Brasington Swift deltas flying stacked, HQ F Box with 24 ft fuzzi tail. Flight went well until the kites got tangled, and when they untangled the box kite zipped back into the sky and the force snapped the flying line. Kite didn’t go far fortunately.

I bought this trainer kite a few days ago on my holiday. Flying it was a lot of fun, but I am curious about this extra loop. It is on the safety leash, so I am not sure what its purpose is because normally you let go of the bar and the safety leash that is connected to your wrist holds the kite while it falls slowly out of the sky. Can I hook that loop onto a harness so it can pull me?

I saw these at kite fest yesterday. I’ve been able to find realistic bird kites for scaring away seagulls but not the colorful or white one. Any know who sells this?

I read some good reviews over this stunt kite. I’m an absolute beginner but I managed to put it together all I need to do is attach the strings. I’m pretty sure it’s assembled right but if you have any advice or think otherwise let me know. I hope to attach the strings by using the larks head knot.

Where do people fly kites in Mumbai? 🪁
Hey everyone! I’m from Ahilyanagar and I’m new to Mumbai. I’m a die-hard kite lover and I really want to experience kite flying in Mumbai.
Where are the best places in Mumbai where I can see lots of people flying kites or join in and fly myself? 🪁
Any specific areas, grounds, rooftops, or places you’d recommend?
Thanks! 🙌
