Page 1 of 2 - Recommendations for Good Beginner Stunt Kites? - posted in Beginners: Just returned from the Wildwood Kite Festival and discovered my teenage daughters had a great time learning to fly dual line stunt kites. While there, i pulled out a couple of old beetles to let them practice but that didnt last long.
Finding out which kite is best for someone is always the hardest decision to make, especially if it is their first kite. As stated in earlier courses, kites come in hundreds of different styles, shapes and sizes. Multiply that by single, dual and quad line configurations and you have thousands of kites to choose from...

Prototype flights at the 2010 AKA Grand Nationals in Seaside, OR... A new kite design from John Barresi in conjunction with ITW, the Kymera was conceived as a blend of old-school and new-school to produce both trick and precision/loading ability in a wide wind range.
Quick, stable and easy to control
Kevlar-reinforced nose forgives unplanned landings
Light pull is manageable for smaller pilots
Folds to 25” long inside zippered travel case
Ripstop nylon sail and hybrid carbon/glass frame
This is a great kite for the first time pilot. It has everything you need to get started; cool case, lines, and easy assembly instructions. It takes less then a minute to get together and launch! It's durable and can zip around the sky pretty good.
It's on the small side so it doesn't pull in the wind as much as bigger kites; so it's prefect for young kids, or young adults just starting to learn to fly. It's strong and can take some crashing from the first time pilot, as to be expected when learning.
The Quantum by Prism would also be another great beginner kite, which is bigger and has more pull from the wind.
You'll enjoy this kite!
