Build Your Djuice: Beginner Quad Line Kite Package

A sport kite flown on four lines, with a handle in each hand. Tilting the handles controls the kite’s power, so it can stop, hover, fly backward and move with real precision, not just loop around the sky like a dual line stunt kite.

That’s what it was made for. John Barresi and Brett Marchel designed it for new fliers, from more than 20 years of teaching face to face. Its bridle is tuned to feel a little more “analog”, with much less wing flip, and there are no exposed knots or end caps to snag your lines.

Both are framed quad line kites in the classic quad line shape, so the basics of flying them are the same. The Djuice is our own take on that shape, built from decades of flying and teaching, with a few things done differently:

• Bridle: built on the concept of the Djinn’s Sync Bridle, and tuned to feel a little more “analog” for newer fliers. Much less wing flip, more built-in speed, and easier inverted flight.
• Snag-free build: a T-piece setup with no exposed end caps or knots along the leading edge or wingtips. Lines don’t catch, and end caps don’t wear through the sail and spars.
• Smoother reverse: angled outer trailing edges and holes along the leading edge help it hover and fly backward cleanly.
• Venting (VT): high-porosity mesh, placed to keep the kite’s grip and loading where it counts. That gives a wide wind range with less vent area.
• Room to grow: the upgrade handles and lines also fit the Djinn, our premium quad line kite, so they come with you when you move up.

Honestly, any good quad line kite can give you a great start. We think the Djuice is one of the smoothest at its price.

ST: no vents, for light to medium wind, about 3 to 12 mph.

VT: two vents per wing, for medium to strong wind, about 7 to 25 mph.

Get both and you’re covered from light to strong wind. Not sure about your wind? Our guide to choosing a kite walks you through it.

The Complete RTF Package covers it: the kite, lines and handles, spare spars and ferrules, a wing tips kit and a ground stake. All you add is an open space with clean wind.

Yes, and many Djuice fliers do. If you choose the upgrade with Pro Handles and LaserPro Gold lines, they work with the Djinn too, so they come along when you move up.
