Beaufort wind table
The Beaufort scale was long in use as a system for estimating wind speeds. It was introduced in 1805 by Admiral Sir Francis Beaufort (1774-1857) of the British navy to describe wind effects on a fully rigged man-of-war sailing vessel, and it was later extended to include descriptions of effects on land features as well.Bft Sourroundings Wind Knots km/h mph m/s 0 Smoke rises vertically and the see is mirror smooth calm 0 0 0 0 1 Smokes moves slightly with breeze and shows direction of wind light air 1-3 1-5 1-3 <2 2 You can feel wind on your face and hear the leaves start to rustle light breeze 4-6 6-11 4-7 2-3 3 Smoke will move horizontally and small branches start to sway.

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR KITELINE
HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR KITELINE
Different kiting disciplines require different types of lines, below you can see an overview on which lines are recommend for each discipline.kite discipline Top line strength Brake line strenght sport/trick flying 25 - 110Kg - powerkiting 170 - 210Kg 75 -110Kg kite buggying 170 - 300Kg 75 - 110Kg landboarding/snowkiting 300 - 375Kg 300 - 375Kg kiteboarding 300 - 500Kg 300 - 375Kg
Line StrenghtWhich line strength you should use depends on a number of factors. Ideally one would use multiple line-sets for the same kite for different wind speeds to get the best possible performance. You can imagine that a 2m 4-line foilkite flies great in 20 knots on 200kg steering lines, but fly that same kite with the same lines in 10 knots and you will notice that the lines sag, making steering less responsive.
Even pilot skill and riding style comes in to play when we look at buggy racers, smooth technical racers will use 200 to 250kg steering lines where heavier and/or more aggressive racers will use 300kg lines or even stronger.
Generally high winds and/or heavier pilots require stronger lines.Line lenght
Line lenght is very much preferential, the rule of thumb is: Shorter lines make steering more direct with the sacrifice of low end performance and long lines give the kite a better low end at the sacrifice of kite responsiveness.
Considerations
Dyneema® is without a doubt the best possible line to use for kiting, however there are a few things to look out for when using Dyneema® lines;
Knots - Dyneema® handles knots poorly, this is why the lines have sleeves at the ends where the knots are, the sleeves are there to protect the line itself.
As an example: put a knot in a 200kg line and you will cut its breaking strength in half and under tension the line will break right at the knot.
Melting - In comparison to other kite flying lines such as Nylon, Dacron or Aramid/Kevlar, Dyneema's melting point/temperature is lower so if you ever tangle your 4-line powerkite with a single line kids kite (which are generally flown on Nylon lines) chances are you'll lose.

Stunt 2-lines
Often referred to “sport” or “stunt” kites, these two string kites at the very least allow a pilot to steer the kite throughout the sky using a combination of right and left hand inputs. Experienced pilots can also stall, flip, float, spin and roll up their kites in mid-air during “slack line” or trick flying.
Although the delta shape is most popular, dual line kites are also commonly available in diamond and parafoil designs.

HQ Infinity | Stuntkiting
Price €195
To the Invento range, the Infinity by Andreas Koopmann is now available: Competition-ready trick flight, coupled with very good precision.
This kite is simple to handle. After only a short acclimatisation, the pilot gets the feeling of being one with the Infinity kite.
All known tricks are possible. The sideslides are endless, the basics elegant and majestic. Back and wrap tricks are the speciality of these kites. Whether it is Backspins, Jacob's Ladder, Fade, Lazy Susans, Lateral Rolls or Yo-Yos: the Infinity executes all tricks with ease and high controllability.
The combination of trick and precision is impressive. In a word, it is a dream kite for play and discovery.
Includes: kite and bag. -
HQ Stinger | Stuntkiting
Price €35
The Stinger is an entry-level kite which combines a robust construction with quality workmanship.
Its direct responses through the lines give pilots perfect control over the kite at all times. Nice loops and good precision will quickly lead to successful experiences. Still, the Stinger does not move in a slow and portly manner, but travels the skies in a rather dynamic way and over a wide wind range. The 6 mm fiberglass rods will also survive unintended crashes.
Stinger is an elegant and also excellent choice for beginners that will guarantee exciting flight experiences – all at a very affordable price.
Includes: Kite, lines on winder, straps and bag. -
Cross Kites Speedwing X1
Price €40This stunt kite is unique because of its high manoeuvrability, it’s extremely precise controls, even in low winds and its strong pull in high winds. The secret of the Speedwing is the lack of a vertical rod which allows the sail to optimally bulge out in any given wind speed.
Contents: Kite, bag and manual.
-
HQ Delta Hawk Rainbow
Price €60
The Delta Hawk develops a very nice pull in higher wind conditions.
Due to its 6 mm (.230) carbon tube frame this kite is more than robust and can be flown in very high winds.
Includes: Kite and bag (NO lines). -
HQ Buzz R2F
Price €76
The Buzz has a stylish presence that is affordable, easy-to-fly, and will appeal to ambitious beginners.
The Buzz is forgiving in flight and its fiberglass frame is very robust. The shape and appearance of the Buzz is modern and elegant.
It is a great kite for anyone looking for fun, and in higher wind speeds the Buzz will generate a considerable amount of pull.
Includes: kite, lines on winder, straps and bag. -
HQ Ion Jungle
Price €94
The first thing you notice is the cool graphite fabric motif. But the Ion has far more to offer than eye-catching graphics.
This all-rounder is extremely versatile and multi-talented - high quality, robust, wide wind range and equally suited to both gusty inland winds and strong coastal winds. Ion has good, precise trick kiting attributes and flies effortlessly through modern trick sequences. Flic Flacs, Multi Lazys, Comets, Axel-Cascades, 540s - a dream, it's so easy. Strong winds? Fantastic ground passes or extreme loops will always give the pilot absolute controllability.
The attributes of this kite make it well suited to beginners.
Includes: Kite, lines on winder, straps and bag. -
HQ Fazer XXL
Price €340
The Fazer XXL is impressive by sheer size and commands great respect even among experienced pilots.
Tremendous pull and precise handling make this kite a blast to fly. The wind range of the Fazer XXL is extensive. The fun starts with winds of 1 Beaufort. But at force 4 winds, flying the Fazer XXL is a test of courage.
Only recommended for very experienced pilots.
Includes: Kite and bag. -
Cross Kites Speedwing X3
Price €74This stunt kite is unique because of its high manoeuvrability, it’s extremely precise controls, even in low winds and its strong pull in high winds. The secret of the Speedwing is the lack of a vertical rod which allows the sail to optimally bulge out in any given wind speed.
Contents: Kite, bag and manual (llines and handles not incl).
