Kites prefer to fly in light to
moderate winds. They are made from lightweight materials, so the
wind can lift them up and hold them in the sky.
No kites like to fly in heavy, gusty
or strong winds. This can cause them to become unstable and crash,
or put too much pressure on the fabric and stitching.
When sport kites hit the ground or get dragged along
the ground, damage will occur.

Sport kites require good coordination and are not
recommended for children under 8.
If you have not flown a sport kite before and are
unsure about which one would suit best, please check out the Sport
Kite Info page or email me
with your queries.

The Hype is easy to set-up and suitable for all skill levels.
Flying the Hype does not require any prior kiting experience,
as it's docile flying behaviour ensures that there are no
sudden power surges when flying the kite through the wind-window.
The larger sizes are suitable for more experienced flyers,
but may have too much pull for lightweight flyers, especially
in summer winds in New Zealand.

flight straps. Comes in a zipped bag.
