Build Your Djinn: Quad Line Kite Builder

It comes down to your wind. All six models share one design; what changes is the venting.

UL: 2 to 6 mph, no vents.
ST: 3 to 12 mph, no vents.
MV: 5 to 18 mph, one vent per wing.
VT: 7 to 25 mph, two vents per wing.
XT: 12 to 35 mph, networked vents.
HV: 18 to 45 mph, mostly vented.

Most first-time buyers go with two kites, ST + VT. For one kite in average wind, the MV; where it’s often windy, the VT. Our guide to choosing a kite goes deeper.

Yes, if you want to buy once and buy right. The Djinn is exactly what we fly ourselves, with no secret tweaks. If you’d rather try quad line at a lower price first, the Djuice is our entry-level kite, built on the same design idea.

The sail with its Sync Bridle, one Mystic frame and a kite sleeve. Every Djinn is signed by JB unless you ask otherwise, and comes with a free Kite Forge cloisonné pin. Lines, handles and a stake are chosen separately in the builder.

One set flies every Djinn. We fly Pro Handles with LaserPro Gold, a very low-stretch Spectra line.

90 lb: the standard, and it holds up on every model.
50 lb: thinner, with less drag, for the lightest winds once you have some airtime.

Longer lines give the kite more sky; shorter lines feel faster. Most regular fliers end up with several lengths.

UL: Mystic 10 rods with light ferrules.
ST: Mystic 12.
MV: Mystic 14.
VT: Mystic 16.
XT and HV: Mystic 18.

The ST through HV all use normal ferrules. We suggest 2 spare rods and 2 ferrules per kite. The builder points out the right ones for the kites you pick.
