Stunt Kites
Learning to Fly and Guide Stunt Kites
All kite
flying is fundamentally the same. If you know how to
fly a single line kite, you know how to fly a dual line
kite.
Stunt kites are
multi-line kites that can rip through the air at speeds of
over a hundred miles per hour with a hundred pounds of pull
in the control lines. So although the fundamentals
are the same, the experience level makes a big difference
when it comes to flying stunt kites. In other words,
flying stunt kites is not something that a novice can pick
up without practice and education.
In any event, once a person does have the time to master
the basics of kite flying and then learns a bit more about
stunt flying, he or she will find stunt kites and stunt
flying to be a remarkable experience. Indeed, many a
flyer of stunt kites calls the experience, simply: “a
blast.”
This type of kite flying (flying stunt kites) does differ
in that it requires physical endurance and agility, more
physical agility and endurance than is associated with
standard kite flying. When using and flying stunt
kites, a person gets a lot of healthy exercise. In
addition, with all of the excitement associated with flying
stunt kites, a person can burn off a great deal of stress
as well.
The theory behind kite flying, even the flying of stunt
kites, is quite simple -- as has been
mentioned. The more you pull on the kite lines
and create tension, the more pull and speed the kite will
obtain. In other words, pull or tension on the kite
line equals speed and high flying. Again, the
principle holds true for both traditional single line kites
as well as dual line stunt kites.
Like so many other sports and pastimes in life, improvement
at the flying of
stunt kites requires
practice. In addition to this you can purchase Dodd
Gross’s videos and DVDs to learn more about flying stunt
kites. These videos can be ordered online or through
any major bookseller. Through these videos, you can

the world to fly sports kites.
