Vented Baskets:

Three feet of fast spinning color! Our Vented Baskets are designed to turn fast but not pull too hard. That means you can lift them on a kite or line, and that they won't overstress a pole or anchor. Get them up off the ground for maximum performance.

They are designed to sell for less too! Just $27 each wholesale. Click here for a short movie!

"Saw Tooth" Parachutes:

Attach them to a flying line or stake them on the ground withy a ten foot tether. What you get is a great show! For a better view, just click on the photo.

Each parachute is ten feet tall and made in a distinctive "saw-tooth" pattern. The trailing edge is vented to reduce pull. So what you get is a big, colorful, rotating bol. And if you like, you can even choose the colors.

Parachutes are priced at $125 each wholesale.

By-the-way, our Parachues are *not* recommended for base jumping...

Striped Parachutes:

We also have Parachutes in a striped design. They are $125 each wholesale. Or consider a double size Giant Parachute. It's nearly 20 feet in diameter and comes in a rainbow pattern with striped accents for $450 each.

We find that the Parachutes are excellent light-wind bouncers. This photo was taken in less than 2 m.p.h. of wind at sunset.

Spinning Baskets:

Anchor them for a bouncing display, or tie them low under a large lifter. Big baskets are great fun! You can even organize "Bol Races" at your next event by having contestants pull them upwind. The ten foot model is $125 and the six footer $65 wholesale. A great value! And if you are willing to wait three weeks, we can produce custom baskets in your favorite colors at no extra charge.

Beach Balls:

Beach Balls are cool!

The standard tri-color GKPI Beach Balls are two-and-a-half feet in diameter and priced at only $20 wholesale

They inflate through vents rather than an up-wind opening. This means they stay inflated and can take a real beating from the kids. Anchor a set on the ground and watch them bounce. Or tie a few to your kite and listen to them "whomp" together.

Want something bigger? Larger balls use a *lot* more fabric, but we have the five foot model for $64 and the seven-and-a-half "big globe" for $149. All are available in the six primary colors.

We can also do custom color combinations on request.

Can't decide on a color? We now also offering Rainbow Beach Ball at the same price as our standard tri-color. Each Rainbow Ball contains six colors, offest by black accents.

We've seen all kinds of tricks used to attach laundry to a flying line. Most involve knots which cause abrasion and weaken line strength. Our approach is a lot more simple.

We wrap small carabiners into the main flying line. Normally, three twists work just fine. When the line is slack, you can slide the "biner" anywhere you want. But when the kite goes up and tension builds on the line, the "biner" is locked in place.

It's quick, easy, and doesn't reduce line strength.

Spiked "Madonna" Bols:

We've been flying our Spiked Bols for years now. Finally -- *finally* -- we have started to produce them for sale!

The Germans who first designed them called these spinning bols "pickels' and "pimple wheels'. But we didn't think acne references sounded too good, so we named them "Madonnas" in reference to the wild outfits the singer was wearing at the time. Fashions have changed but our spinning Spiked Bols are still definite show-stoppers.

They are four foot bols with three rows of spikes. The heavy fabric takes a beating, and an elastic trailing edge helps maintain inflation in gusts. Use them as line laundry, drogues on a big lifter, or as ground bouncers. Singles look great, a matched pair looks better, and a string of half a dozen are awesome...

We can order any colors you like, but we recommend solids with black spikes. Your wholesale cost is $130 each. Click on the photo for a better look.

Gomberg Crowns:

You have seen GKPI's exclusive "Flying Crowns" at festivals an on the covers of your kite magazines. They are fantastic!! And they're big too -- a full 7.7 meters tall. (That's more than 25 feet to those of you metrically challenged.) Click the photo for a different view.

Bols of this size usually cost around $1500. But now you can own one of these exclusive big pieces. And your wholesalecost is only $750 for the 7.7 or $400 for the "half-size" 4.0.

Yes, color choices are available. We are stocking "warm", "cool", "rainbow", or you can order something special.

Gomberg Bols:

What we have here is a straight-forward, traditional striped Bol. This is the same kind of piece made famous by Mischelle Gressier in France or Team No Limit from Germany.

Striped Bols are more then 25 feet tall. The are very similar in construction to our Crowns but with a different fabric pattern. The other big difference is that they are priced lower -- $650 each wholesale.

Spikey Bouncers:

If you have seen us at any events lately, you may have seen us flying these large spikey ground bouncers. They are weird, exotic, and very cool.

The basic design is a solid color with black spikes and a black and white striped opening. We'll make them in any color you like at no extra charge.

You can get your Spikey Bouncers in the giant, 15 foot size for $750 or the convenient 7.5 foot diameter for just $180 wholesale. Like our other ground bouncers, they do not fly. Instead you anchor them on a ten foot a tether line and leave them down where people can get a good, close look.

And please note that our spikey ground bouncers are different from our Spikey Ball *tubes* which are smaller and designed to hang from a kite or line.

All of this fabric needs a big bag.
But you don't want to spend a bunch of money on bags so check this out.

We've got top quality duffel bags, made of black Cordura with tough metal zippers (double opening), Velcro handle attachment, carrying strap and a waterproof lining. They measure three feet long and eighteen inches wide. Stuff in a giant octopus or fill them with a festival full of foils and laundry. They are the biggest bags the airlines allow.

Your price?? Get this -- $25!

Spend your money on kites. Then stuff them in our bags...

Giant Rings:

Here's our latest toy. Its a 9 meter (29 foot) tall cellular bol. Think of it like a giant flexifoil, curved into a circle. The cells are two-and-a-half feet deep and it's got LOTS of color.

The Giant Rings are another GKPI exclusive. Lift it up into the sky, or tether it to the ground for an awesome show. The price is only $500.
