Classically known as a “stunt kite” or “sport kite”, these kites utilize two strings (right and left) to turn, stall and even flip the kite to wrap in its own lines. The general attitude of these kites is “nose forward” drive, using sharp inputs to produce stalls with footwork to adjust speed or land.
