An ideal entry into quad kite flying…
We’ve put a lot of heart and soul into the creation of this quad kite, deeply motivated by over two decades of personal instruction and mega fly team leading done by John Barresi all over the world, and backed up by roughly three decades of quad kite experience and over 30 US Championships, as well as the knowledge gained from over a decade of performance and touring with Team iQuad and Team KiteLife, along with months of rigorous product flight and abuse testing by fliers at all skill levels from beginner through master.
While the Djuice is quite durable, there are spare parts you might consider as rare breaks can happen during the initial learning process:
- Dynamic 12 spar (framing for Djuice ST)
- Dynamic 15 spar (framing for Djuice VT)
- Dynamic Ferrule (framing for both ST and VT)
- Wing Tips Kit (small parts)
Standard Models and Color Combinations
All Djuice quad line kites include a fully configured sail and components including bridle, one frame and a kite sleeve. We offer a very reasonably priced 75 ft Dyneema line set complete with beginner handles, or you can also choose to upgrade with a LaserPro spectra lines (30′-120′ 50# or 90#) and Pro Handles (13″ curved).
Our two Djuice models break down like this, for different winds:

We’re a small boutique company and currently only offer the ST in blue and VT in red, but we do hope to add more color options in the future.
Highlighted Features
Built on the same concept as the Djinn’s Sync Bridle designed by John Barresi, the Djuice bridle is modified to make the controls a little more “analog” for newer fliers. It drastically reduces the dreaded “wing flip”, provides more built-in speed and inverted control while maintaining most of the familiar Djinn connection and load sharing between all 4 points of tension. Additionally, the greatest wear points on the bridle are done with simpler, easier to replace components.
We wanted to make this quad kite as smooth and recoverable as possible, so you won’t find any exposed bungee knots anywhere on the kite, we’ve instead placed them inside the leading edge wingtips (without interfering with frame changes) and added covers to those knots and washers on the bottom wingtips, so these will no longer create snags in flight or during ground recovery.
Using a T-Piece configuration and thoughtful placement of bridle components, the Djuice quad kite has no exposed end caps or knots along the leading edge, once again eliminating the usual snag points where lines get caught or hung up during flight or ground recovery, this also completely solves the issue seen on older designs where the leading edge end caps were wearing through both the material and spars.
As our answer to the common issue of leading edge mesh breakdown and in the interest of keeping customer costs down, we’ve used an even spacing of leading edge holes to allow wind pass through when the kite hovers and flies in reverse.
Often referred to as “wear strips”, while they do certainly reduce friction and wear between the upright spars and the sail, the primary purpose of these components is actually to moderate and control the massive sail stretch and degradation that naturally occurs on many quad kites along the vertical spar due to repeated sail compression.
As you’ve seen by now, the outermost trailing edges of the Djuice quad kite are not cut in a straight line and have an inset angle applied to smooth out reverse flight which also helps with moderating the dreaded “bowtie” or single wing flip.
The vented model features high-porosity venting that has been strategically placed to preserve the trailing edge “grip” and leading edge loading while still moderating overall pressure and speed, this allows greater venting with less vent area and expands the overall wind range.

Today was the official maiden voyage of my new DJuice VT.
Winds were 10-12 mph.
The DJuice is a smooth and stable handing kite and so forgiving in the hands of a novice like myself. The fit and finish is flawless
I have yet to develop many basic skills and tend to fly by the seat of my pants or as I like to call it the scientific method (FAAFO)😜
The DJuice is more than capable of handling the demands of a more advanced flier as I have seen in videos.
The Djuice is a fun and forgiving kite to fly. Im sure I will unlock more of her gifts as my skills develop. Thank you team Djinn and Djuice for providing an enjoyable precision flying experience.Sincerely,
Paul Hernandez

What a great kite. Stable, tracks well in strong wind, very responsive to input and adjustments. Fairly new to quads and this kite inspires confidence. One of my 3 favorite kites to fly. Full disclosure, my kite had a minor QC issue I found first flight. Sent an email and the next day was talking to John himself. Sent a couple pics and replacement part shipped out ASAP. That kind of service is rare these days. Things are going to happen, and knowing you’ll be taken care of is golden. Highly recommend this kite. Matter of fact, did so to someone who watched us flying this past weekend.

Kite is amazing. I’ve only tried it a couple of times, but it is forgiving which I need to learn on and the design and makeup is very well done

I absolutely love my djuice. I debated for awhile between the djinn and djuice and decided to get the djuice until I know if quad lines is something I am going to love. So far, it does not disappoint!!! It’s very easy to assemble and set up and I was flying in no time.

My first quad kite and Djuice does not disappoint. This thing is tough. I’m teaching myself to fly and when this kite takes a hit, it gets up and asks for more. Watch Johns tutorials and you’ll be fine, no experience needed. Physics defying maneuvers and half the price, Djuice is perfect for beginners.

I’m just getting into quad kiting and John was extremely helpful getting me lined up with what gear I needed and didn’t need. I got a great Djuice standard that I’m extremely happy with even though it’s slow going getting used to the quad line techniques. John also linked me to a number of his very good training videos which have been a huge help. I dream of upgrading to a Djinn when my skills advance.
