Which stunt kites are best?<\/h2>\n

Stunt kites vs. traditional kites<\/h3>\n

Unlike traditional kites that use a single line, stunt kites get increased maneuverability from a dual-line system. The user holds a left and right line with one in each hand. Pulling on the right line causes the kite to go right, while pulling on the left line causes the kite to go left. More complicated maneuvers can be completed by adjusting the tension on the lines or by running forward and backward.<\/p>\n

For the most part, stunt kites will have a triangular, or \u201cdelta wing\u201d shape, while traditional kites can appear in diamond, parafoil or three-dimensional forms. Most conventional kites are also considerably cheaper than the stunt variety and are less difficult to master.<\/p>\n
