This is a superb kite! The Flexifoil kit is fantastic, the kite is so easy to use. Not sure how it compares to other brands, but as a novice this has certainly not been a disappointment. Even my son (10 y. old), loves to have a go now and again when the winds are not too strong!

The New Sting kite from Flexifoil is a great new 4-line kite available in four sizes from 1.2m up to 3.3m. It comes packaged in a funky rucksack with all the lines and 4-line control handles.

Flying the kite is great fun and a good physical workout, and setting it up is dead easy. Control of the kite is excellent, and it's extremely stable. It is also nice and compact when in the backpack, and ideal for taking on trips.

The Sting Kite is also available with a 2-line control bar. Used in this way it would make a great trainer kite for kite-surfing.

This kite really is a great step towards proper traction kiting.
