Two Line Stunt Kites

Our two line kite range can be divided into two sections - Stunt and Traction. Stunt kites usually have a carbon fibre frame that can be quickly assembled or disassembled (usually about a minute) to make transportation of the kite easier, and you can do lots of neat tricks with them. They are generally Delta shaped. Traction kites also have a carbon fibre frame, but it's generally a simple rod that supports the leading edge of the kite. They don't have the same delicate control as stunt kites, and can be used for kite buggying.

Flexifoil Stunt Kites

Flexifoil is one of the best known brands in kiting, and are made in the UK as well. They also offer a free repair service for the first month you own you kite - probably the time you'll need them most. We stock a few of their kites (and can always order any others).

	Flexifoil Xtro A good all round kite, because it gives beginners time to think about what the kite is doing, but it will still keep experienced flyers interested. It has a wingspan of 135cm, lines are included and it works in winds of 4 - 30 mph. The price is £34.95

Flexifoil Erazor Next in the Flexifoil range is the Erazor, a slightly larger kite with a 183cm wingspan. This is a powerful kite, but is designed for silent flight. Lines are not included for the price of £59.90 but we will include a suitable set, with strap- handles as well, for £69.90. It has a slightly higher spin rate than the Xtro so it's probably better to have this as your second stunt kite.

Flexifoil Psycho The Psycho is the next in the range, and has a 2 m wingspan. It's designed to make tricks easier at higher wind speeds, and is a fast turner, so it's best for experienced kite nutters. The Psycho costs £79.90, not including lines. However, the price does include an 18 minute video of the kite doing some pretty mental stuff - to see the control these guys have is pretty amazing. For £89.95, we will include a set of suitable lines and handles.

Flexifoil Stranger Next in the Flexifoil family is the Stranger. This has a wing span of 250cm, so it is quite a bit bigger than the Psycho. It’s designed to do lots and lots of tricks, and recover to a normal attitude if you let the lines go slack. The Stranger is for use in lighter winds than the Psycho, and is for experienced fliers. It has a reputation for being the world’s first trick kite, and costs £89.95. This price includes a video showing the kite in flight, but doesn’t include lines and handles. We’ll include suitable lines and lightweight straps for £105.95

Tricky Flickery Video To show what can be done with their stunt kites, Flexifoil have made this video. It uses a split picture, so one half shows how to wave your arms about, and the other half shows the kite and the resulting movement. It's 28 minutes long, and it shows tricks you'll have trouble getting your head around. Using the slomo button will help though, and it's pretty funny as well. It sells for just £12.95 and will help you get the most out of your kite.

Bistro This kite is a good entry-level 2-line stunter with a span of 130cm. It has fibreglass spars, and 40kg lines on round winder handles. It also comes in it's own carry case with a shoulder strap, and is suitable for kids of all ages over 10. Recommended winds are up to about 20 mph, and it'll set you back just £15.Colours may vary from picture, and will be picked at random.

Citybird The Citybird is slightly larger than the Bistro, at 145cm, has fibreglass spars and is suitable for kids of all ages over 10. The lines are included and are 60kg, again on plastic winders, and the Citybird is flyable in winds of up to about 15mph or so. Like the Bistro, it has it's own carry case, and is priced at £20.Colours may vary from picture, and will be picked at random.
