Kite Accessories

When looking into buying a power kite you will also need to consider which kite accessories you will need too. This article will help you decide which ones you need.

Kite Killers

There may come a time when you have to let go of your kite- perhaps the wind suddenly picks up and you're unable to control it or perhaps you simply miss a move and fall, letting go by accident. A fully powered up kite out of control on a beach is no laughing matter- the potential for injury to passing people is high and you also run the risk of damage or loss to your valuable kite. They act by linking the brake lines of the kite to the pilot via wristbands, so if the handles are released the brake lines are brought into use to de-power the kite and allow it to land safely. The pilot can then pick up the handles and relaunch the kite safely, or pack it away and go tell all his friends about his narrow escape!

Protective gear

This can be in the form of protective pad sets or helmets. You may want to consider this, particularly if you are purchasing your first power kite as it only takes a second for an experienced flyer to find themselves in a pickle.

Kite harnesses

seat harnesses are great for snow or land boarding and also for buggying.
