Trainer Kites. You have to start somewhere....
Trainer kites are an excellent way to perfect your piloting skills. Whether you fly a 2m or 24m kite the basic flying skills are the same and most people who succeed in kiting start small and work their way up! Trainers allow you to grow your piloting skills in a fun, low risk environment. Trainers are built to handle the abuse that beginners tend to inflict on them. At Hardwater Kiting we recommend choosing a DEPOWER trainer over a Fixed Bridle if your budget allows. They are safer, more versatile and allow for easier transition to larger depower kites.
