Maneuverable kites take you from "static" to "active" flying. You become the pilot! With two lines, you can steer your kite around the sky, or even create your own aerial ballet to music. G-Kites now offers several styles and designs of Sport and Stunt Kites for different flying conditions and results. Power your way through big turns with long tails streaming behind, fashion sharp turns and maneuvers, or punch out the latest slack-line tricks. |

Advanced kites generally come without flying line. That's because many kiters already have line and don't want to pay for a new set with each kite they buy. If you need line, check out the options listed at the bottom of this page. |

Charisma (Moderate 6.5 foot wingspan)
Charisma is a light-pulling freestyle sport kite that provides easy, responsive flight and advanced trick capability in a wide wind range. It was designed for superior speed control, easy, forgiving handling, stable and predictable performance for freestyle tricks, and smooth transitions for seamless free flowing flying.
Chrisma is available in three color choices and retails for $130.00. We can add a set of 100 pound dynema flying lines and straps for $22.00. |
| Gary MacEachern of Brookings, Oregon, wanted a perfect kite for his multiple kite routines and long, long tails. He chose the best materials and designed a big-wing for a wide wind-range and smooth flight. Then he asked GKPI to make it for him. |
| Christoph Fokken of Germany was enlisted to develop two exclusive soft stunters for GKPI. They are fast, powerful, and extreme flying fun! At the end of the day, you just stuff them in the bag. No parts to lose or break! Soft sunters are also great for kiteboard and traction training. |
You will get remarkable pull from these quick dual-line airfoils. The partially closed leading edge makes them faster and more powerful than other soft stunters. Use a Riot for traction or kitesurf training, or just for fun on a breezy day.

Flying a Diamond Wing Stunt Kite will give you a completely different experience than the high performance "sport" kites. The Diamonds have a larger sail area, more pull, and come with long sweeping tails. Some say the slower Diamonds are easier to fly; others say they are just another kind of fun. Stack several together and get a real workout flying your "kite train". |

Starburst Stunt Kite:
When we first discovered maneuverable kites back in the Seventies, they were diamond shaped. "Stunters" came with long flowing tails, pulled hard, and roared around the sky. Flying those kites changed our lives.
Each Starburst is 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide. A matching 45 foot tail is included. Best performance will be in 7 to 17 mph of wind. Fly a single Starburst on 100-pound lines or stacks of up to six on 200-pound lines. Available in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, or purple with black and white accents. Each Starburst is $50. |
|
Chevron Stunt Kite: The Chevron is the second stunter in our series of maneuverable kites. You pilot it through the air with two flying lines. We've made it tough, forgiving, and easy to handle. Each Chevron is 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide. A matching 45 foot tail is included.

The Gull (Big 8.5 foot wingspan)
The Gull is ideal for ballet, precision, or fun flying Kite experts looking for reliability, smooth flight, and a wide performance range have embraced the Gull. Designed by Gary MacEachern of Oregon, the Gull has over 12 square feet of sail area but weighs a mere 10.5 ounces. The result is a large and graceful sport kite that easily produces smooth turns and straight lines.
Whether you like to fly one two or three sport kites at a time, or paint the sky with long transition tails attached to the keel, this kite will put a smile on your face. The Gull is available in three color choices and retails for $250.00. We can add a set of 100 pound dynema flying lines and straps for $22.00. |

Flying Line: Stunt and Sport kites don't come with line. The reason is that many kiters already have kites and don't want to pay for new line sets with each new kite. But if this is your first kite, or if you are ready for new lines, we have just the thing!
Lines for maneuverable kites are different from other kite lines. You want something that is very thin - to reduce drag. You want a line that is slippery - so when you complete loops and twist the line, you can still control the kite. You want line that has minimal stretch - so when you pull on one, the kite gets the signal. And you want a line that is durable - so you don't need to buy more again soon. |
