Good evening and welcome to Gandy's Kiting Page. Now I think I should explain what I mean by kiting, this isn't a page about sticks and paper tied to a bit of string with ribbons dangling off the bottom, it is a page about traction kiting. What does that mean? Well I'll tell you, it means flying kites that are powerful enough to pull you around.
Check out some of our kit ('our' referring to Ben's, Paul's, mine, and any other kiters' gear we've talked about, tried out, inspected etc). Hopefully there are some pretty photos of our kiting exploits for you to look at, that is to say I hope you think some of our photos are pretty, there are more on the way from a good kiting Summer. You can also have a read of some potentially interesting information I think might be useful to the kiting fraternity - when I have written it - for now, enjoy.

MY 13m Peter Lynn Venom, I'm not jealous, or even bitter of Ben's tiny, hand-sized kite, because it's MINE! |
The Venom is also quite pretty, on the rare occasions you get to see the top of it. |
This photo shows the power adjusting strap inside the kite, and you can see the 'sock' valves inside the leading edge, hmmn, very interesting. |

The best money I couldn't afford that I ever spent! Read my review here. |
