Also used for aerial photography, kites have become one of the easiest and most enjoyable hobbies. I would recommend that if you are looking for a kite, choose one that is affordable, not too pricy and is also recommended by the kite shop from which you buy it. Depending on where you choose to fly your kite, you will sooner or later end up with a few tears or rips. Although these can be repaired with a patch kit, it's not worth getting a good kite full of holes and patches while learning to fly it. Get a kite that you think you would feel comfortable with, and one that is suitable for the wind conditions in your area.
Most kites make a very loud noise.
If your kite is too fast, then add a tail to it. Adding one will slow it down, making it easier to fly. Tails work with any kite and inflate with the wind to look great in the sky. A kite without a center spine makes it durable and crash resistant because there is no danger of the sail tearing or breaking in a hard crash. Multiple kite packs pull harder than singles, but are just as easy to fly.
