My first kite

Try the Eliminator, approx 3-5 meter sq. This is big enough for small sewing errors not to be an issue. A 3 meter kite will pull like a train in 15 mph+ winds, a 5 meter will get you going in 12 mph+ (jump ing, dragging around the beach, buggying.) Please read the Safety Documents before flying!!

A simpler kite to build, but harder to fly is the Nasa Wing

Tried and Tested

Add links to your tried and tested favourites (kites like the Gamma/Dominator probably should go here?). Would be good to set this up to have kite name/link/description for each kite.

For one of the simplest traction kites see the Nasa Wing page.

Gamma (buggy) - Install foilmaker. Look in the Program Files\Foilmaker\Kites directory
Slightly modified Gamma (buggy)
Chevron (traction) no plans, but has build instructions and tips
Firecrest (kitesurf)
Dominator II (buggy)
Vortex (buggy, snow)
Tribal 2 and 3 (buggy)
Gual (buggy, mountainboard)
Sceptre Mk 2
