After many years of experience in the sport of Paragliding High Sports are now selling Parafoil Kites.

We sell three different sizes of 4 line kite, 2 meter, 3 meter and 4 meter. These kites are designed to the same specifications as the Paragliders we sell and therefore have a much cleaner and faster aerofoil shape than most other parafoil kites. Also with a four line control system using kevlar lines (Zero Stretch) the kites are extremely responsive and versatile.

For prices, information or a demo flight contact us and we will advise you on the best canopy for your needs.

Hmmm...

There is no clue on your website (it talks about lectures, but nothing about either paragliding or kite equipment), but it would appear from your posting that you are selling power kites with Kevlar lines.

Kevlar bridle is a reasonable choice, but flying a traction kite on Kevlar lines would be regarded as *exceedingly* antisocial in the company of any other power or stunt kite fliers that I know of. The rest of the world is flying on Spectra.

Oh, and Kevlar does stretch. Veronica has pulled the weave on her 3000lb kevlar line nice and tight, but in a decent lick of wind, but she'll still stretch it by 6' or so

Not to mention extremly dangerous to anyone stupid enough to run under your lines (happens all the time at beaches, somone will come out of nowhere and suddenly be running straight under your lines (or through them on occasion, after which they'll give you a dirty look as if it were _your_ fault)

I've never understood how somone can walk right through your lines *while looking at your kite sitting on the ground* What the hell are they thinking?? 'Oh, look at the kite standing up all by itself in 15 mph wind'
