When the days are too windy to enjoy paragliding, flying a kite is great fun. A recreational kite can give a lot of pleasure and fun not only to the children. Propulsion kites are more sports than recreational devices. They can move you around, very fast at times, and in various ways - buggy-riding, kite surfing, snow sailing or skating.

We have two kinds of Kites:

	Recreational kites of the VIP family
	Sports propulsion kites of the BLUES family

VIP

VIP recreational kites
Kiting can be a great fun on windy days, when you can't fly yourself. Our kites duplicate the paragliders and we sell them in different sizes. All our kites can be flown in strings (two or more kites connected together), as they have special points on their upper surfaces, where the suspension and steering lines of the subsequent kite can be attached.

VIP series are best used as fun and intermediate kites

BLUES

BLUES power kites
Not very long ago kites were regarded only as toys. Yet when the paragliding experience and techniques were introduced to their production, the innocent hobby turned into an interesting and exciting sport.

The BLUES kite is practically a little paraglider wing (one of several square metres area). The suspension lines are 25 to 40 metres long and they end with two handles.
A traction force consists of two elements: the drag of the classic kite and the lift of aerodynamic profile. The BLUES family represents the latest developments in power kite design. These wings combine easy setup and high traction, which makes them the best choice for such activities as:

	kite-surfing
	skiing
	skating
	buggy-riding

We offer the power kites in several sizes, as they should match the wind speed.
