Today's power kites are used for recreational kite traction, being pulled by a kite. Use these power kites on water skiis, wakeboards, or directional boards. Also check out our new all terrain land kite boards. Check out our selection of the world's best power kites. Most all these kites fall under the characteristics of a Foil.
Foils are soft kites that have no hard frame and are controlled with two or four lines.
For beginners or occasional fliers this can be a big plus. This means you can take a kite with you wherever you go. Performance Foils tend to be more forgiving in handling- great for beginners and intermediate level pilots. Four line foils can be easily relaunched from most crashes without a helper. This may or may not be desirable, depending on your size and flying style.
