Vendetta


The Vendetta from Viper Sport Kites is the latest addition to my kite bag. The build quality of these kites is top drawer. I've only got a few hours flying time on them so far but can say they are amazing. I've never got on with a kite as fast as I have with these. I'll be writing more about them as I become more familiar with them.

Widow Maker


The Widow Maker from Sky Burner Kites is just plain fun to fly. I have about 500 collective hours flying time on these two kites. Fast roll ups, flat spins, and good tracking are all in this kite. Light on the lines and very responsive. This is another kite I would highly recommend.

Nirvana


I know a lot of people think highly of this kite. I'm not one of them. In my humble opinion this is the most over-rated, over-priced kite on the market. That's not to say this is a bad kite. Its not. Its an exceptionally average flying kite IMO. The build quality is rather poor. It pulls like a plow horse. And tricks are really average. Its not a kite I would recommend to anyone.

BMK Mantis


Another great kite from Ken McNeill @ Blue Moon. I really enjoyed flying this kite.

BMK Exile (The Spoiler)


My second kite spoiled my for all time. Another kite I bought from Steve Hall @ GWTW online. The Blue Moon Exile is an exceptional kite. Smooth, precise, and very trick worthy. This is a kite that's more capable than most of the people flying them. (Me included of course.) And one of the best made kites available. I literally beat this kite into the ground hundreds if not thousands of times learning advanced slack line tricks. The kite never broke or sustained any noticeable damage. I've put a little over 300 flying hours on this kite.

First Sport Kite


I bought my first sport kite in October 2007. Steve Hall @ GWTW online sold me a Prism Hypnotist. It was the perfect starter kite. After watching the included CD I was up and flying in a matter of minutes. In two weeks I was able to fly basic patterns and do a few slack line tricks like axel and lazy susan. This is a kite I would highly recommend to anyone just getting into the wonderful world of sport kites.
