In its most basic configuration the sports kite is a delta shape controlled with two lines. Construction will vary, but mostly you will see them in a lightweight rip-stop nylon or rip-stop polyester. The spars will be made of light weight carbon fiber tubing.

Control lines for flying are made from a braided spectra, it is very light and has no stretch. It stays very slippery even when being wrapped up many times.

Controlling a Sport Kite

With the two lines one on the right hand and one on the left hand. A pilot will just pull on the right hand line to make the kite to go right and if he wants to turn left he will just pull on the left hand line. To control the pitch requires different amounts of tension on the control lines. This accomplished by running or walking backwards or forwards.

To create tricks and different patterns in the stunt kites flight a pilot will use a combination of pushes and pulls on the control lines to create complex flight patterns. The flight patterns are just amazing and very in difficulty from loops, flips turns end over end to simple turns. Sport kites can reach speed as high as 60 mph in a dive or perform a stall and just drop out of the sky. Flight characteristics of your average sport kites are just incredible the maneuvers they can perform.

Stunt kites are designed to fly in many different conditions. The standard kites are best suited for 3 to 9 miles per hour. But some designs of sport kite will fly in winds of 30 mph or more. There are even some designs of sport kites that are made of very lightweight materials. Very delicate and will fly with the lightest breeze and some will even fly indoors.

The sport has spawned the competition between kite fliers. The performances are judged in a similar fashion as the ballet and figure skating. Performances have compulsory figures as in figure skating and artistic interpretation of music like the ballet.

Competitions are performed by individuals, sometimes pairs of pilots and also in teams. The most exciting competitions that create the most spectacular performances are the team kite flying. You can see as many as eight pilots stacking kites with tails inches apart and a deep breath away from a disaster. The team will perform all kinds of spectacular formations in the air.

International and national competitions are held under “STACK” (Sport Team Competitive Kiting). The annual World Championship was held in 2008 in Berck Sur Mer, France.

Sport Kite contests are held in the United States via the American Kitefliers Association an organization that oversees sport kite contests. A number of regions hold competitions and the winners get invited the the annual AKA Convention for national championships.

In the United States, the American Kitefliers Association is the umbrella organization for sport kite contests. Competition winners from the various regions are invited to the annual AKA convention for national championships.

Back in 1996 two organizations STACK and AJSKA (American Kitfliers Association and the Japanese Sport Kite Association) met to form what we have today. The IRBC (The International Rule Book Committee) standardized the rules and processes for competition kite flying.

It’s 58” wingspan makes small spaces big so you can fly in tight quarters with ease. At barely 2-1/2 ounces, its super-light weight gives it the buoyancy to stay aloft in swirling breezes and even indoors, where walking backwards with short lines provides enough lift for a huge range of graceful aerobatics. But super light doesn’t have to mean super-fragile. The 4-D’s high-modulus frame is made from solid carbon rather than delicate tubes, super-stiff but tough enough to bend in a circle without breaking. So this is a kite you can fly in regular winds too, up to 15 mph without overpowering or worry about breakage. The 4-D is meticulously constructed from ultra-light Icarex polyester sailcloth and Mylar laminate for gossamer weight and a sheen like a cut gem as it passes in front of the sun. Its Microcarbon frame folds to just 23” and fits in a beautiful padded case that you can sneak into any pack or suitcase. To make it a cinch to put together, we designed a clever little wingtip fitting that instantly tensions and de-tensions the leading edge with no knots to fumble with. The bridle is clean and simple with limit knots so you’re always within the adjustment range. And the included 50-foot Spectra flying lines are the perfect length for smaller spaces while still allowing a generous wind window. In the air, the 4-D has the precision and presence of a much larger kite. The line feel is balanced and responsive without being twitchy like most small kites. Its light weight and buoyancy makes it forgiving in turbulence and gives you time to recover as the gust passes. For freestyle fanatics, it’ll do a huge range of tricks without the heavy feel of many trick kites. While it takes smaller motions to fly, you don’t have to be an expert to have a blast and even beginners can learn on it with a bit of patience.
