Stunt Kites

Often referred to as “sport kites”, this genre of kite technically covers any sort of controllable kite flown with two or more strings… First making a commercial appearance in the 1980s, stunt or sport kites have evolved from wooden dowel and cloth to specially made carbon and high strength polyester ripstop.

Although with several sub-categories stunt or sport kites are usually classified in two main categories: 2-line ou 4-line stunt kites. At Kiteland you can find a selection of stunt kites from some the most know international brands.

Power kites

Generally designed to maximize power and pull on land, water, ice and snow, various types of power kites are commonly used as “engines” to pull land boards (mountain boards), kite surf boards, skis, snowboards or specially designed 3-wheeled buggies… While basic training and good equipment selection will allow you to direct and use such energy, power kites do have the potential to generate enormous amounts of pull and should be handled with extreme safety.

Here you can find a wide selection of quality brands for the land kiting discipline.

Kitesurf

Kiteboarding is a surface water sport combining aspects of wakeboarding, snowboarding, windsurfing, surfing, paragliding, skateboarding and sailing into one extreme sport. A kiteboarder harnesses the power of the wind with a large controllable power kite to be propelled across the water on a kiteboard similar to a wakeboard or a small surfboard, with or without footstraps or bindings.

Kitesurfing is a style of kiteboarding specific to wave riding, which uses standard surfboards or boards shaped specifically for the purpose.
