Trainer Kite With Power

How to Decide Which Trainer Kite with Power?

There are some folks who like to push the limits and are looking for a bigger punch!  This is great, but here's some helpful advice on power:

Tip #1– Mastering Kite Control is What's Most Important!

Learning power kiting skills with a trainer kite is all about learning: The key to learning power kiting skills with a trainer kite is building a strong understanding of kite control, muscle memory, wind window, evaluating your environment, and understanding wind conditions.

When learning to fly a kite, you don't want crazy, out-of-control flying.  You need to learn controlled and calculated moves. This will only create bad habits.  When you advance to a full-sized kite, uncontrolled flying can be extremely dangerous. That's why you need a kite that you can easily control as you learn the basic moves and key kite-flying maneuvers.  This will develop important safe natural responses and muscle memory.

Tip #2 – What Size Trainer Kite Can I Learn the Basic Skills But Still Have Power?

A trainer kite from 2 to 3 square meters will work great for the #1 purpose of learning kite flying skills. A trainer kite that is 2.5m to 3m in size is a nice balance of power and performance.

Tip #3 – Flying a Bigger Trainer Kite With More Power Can Be A Lot of Fun For the Right Person

I don't recommend a large power kite for a light person without experience.  Size does play a part in the choice of a kite. If you're a regular-sized to larger-sized person, a larger kite will add more challenge and fun to the adventure.  Whereas, a smaller person can have just as much challenge with a 2m to 2.5m kite. 

Kite power is based on 2 things:  Primarily wind speed, but also a person's size to be able to handle the kite.

Tip #4 – The Bigger Power Peter Lynn Skim Kites and the Hydra II Kites Can Be Used on Water

Peter Lynn Skim kites and the HydraII kites are the only trainer kites that can also be used in the water.  If you have a big enough kite, a board, and strong enough wind, you can also learn some board and water skills, including body dragging.

Tip #5 – You May Want to Consider a 4-Line Sheetable Trainer Kite

4-line sheetable kites will have more power because of the way they are designed, but are more difficult to set up.  4-Line trainer kites rig and fly much like a regular sized kite.  If you want to know if a 4-line is a good choice for you, give us a call, and we can provide more details.
