Stunt Kite for Beginners

If you are searching for a stunt kite for beginners, you will find as much information as different kites. From our long time experience we’d like to mention a couple of useful pointers to consider:

  • Most beginners don’t like to spend a lot money on their first kite, even if it would be sensible to do so, because quality has its price.
  • Size matters, but bigger is not necessarily better.
  • Beginners like to fly kites in high winds. When tree branches are swaying or the waves are high, is considered “great kite weather”. For that reason a beginners kite has to be robust.
  • Starters will push kites to their limits. Best to chose strong materials, like ripstop nylon for the sail and a solid carbon frame.
  • Stunt Kites for beginners have to be easy to fly, be capable of all basic moves and they shouldn’t be too sensitive to control and steer either.
  • A beginner kite should fly consistently in all areas of the wind’s power zone.
  • Always have a look at the whole package and its contents. Important that your stunt kites come with a set of braided flying lines, hand straps and a decent kite bag to store your lines and kite.

Reloaded Kite History

Some amazing development from the early version of Level One’s “Easy Reloaded” in 2007 to the 2013 prototype version first called “Reloade-t” and pimped by PAW to the present “Reloaded” kite series.

You can follow the improvement of the Reloaded kite in videos; not just of the kite, but also of the advancement of tricks and flying techniques. A great example of kaizen.
