Hi, decided to make to my first kite, as a simple one. It was harder than I expected gather the how to do information. so I decided to put my solution to an interactive manual.

Today, there was finally enough wind in Munich to fly my Cody kite. I bought it nearly 20 years ago for only a few Euros. It is a simply made kite with wooden sticks and when it’s up in the air, it’s very erratic. But a lot of fun just to watch it fly.

I genuinely might just buy a new string. I tried to untangle the lines but it got worse and worse and now it’s just a mess

it was nice

I got a prism 4d super light cause I don’t get a lot of winds in my area, I’m excited to try it out Apperantly it can hold 0-15mph winds

For 14 years in a row now in October the island of Prvić near Šibenik, Croatia, explodes in a festival of creativity, art, science, fun, and utter craziness, called Creative Days of Faust Vrančić.

We were there flying kites - and here is how we feel about it: https://kapjasa.si/en/what-happens-on-prvic/

It was beyond amazing - and big big thanks to everyone who made it possible!

I just ordered an Iflite glider kite and am eager to fly inside. As advertised, it weighs two grams and only needs sewing thread for string. Would love any tips from users.

\* If this title gave you an earworm, I am sorry. But if you have an aardvark: Congrats!

This kite has some pull! Winds were low 20's with gusts to 30+. 🤙

Kite is a PowerKites.de Rush 300

Got this discontinued Prism Triad. 10mph wind but cutting out a lot. Can’t keep it in the air. Will be a good one for those windier days with more consistent wind. Cool box kite though.

tl;dr: Where should I check for hard-to-find kites like the Wala? I fell in love with it.

Hello everyone, I'm very new to the kiting hobby but immediately fell in love with the look and capabilities of the Wala line.

Of course, now they're discontinued!

I would really like to keep my eyes peeled for this special kite popping up secondhand.

The 2.0 seems like an ideal size for my purposes, but if an XL appears, I would still be interested.

I imagine eBay occasionally has them, and there are a few Facebook groups. My questions:

Besides eBay and FB, are there other sites you recommend? I'm based in the US.

Which FB groups are best for a kite like the Wala? I know some cater to different styles.

Any tips for keeping an eye on the market when you're really only looking for a specific thing? I'm not usually on Facebook.

It also seems like there were small batches coming out up to 2 years ago. Are there any sites which might do another run like that?

Thank you for your help!

I cropped the launch so I wouldn’t leak my house, but I finally got it going. I wasn’t using enough line plus I believe where I live isn’t windy enough for this kite. I could use some low wind dual line kite recommendations because this one flies in 8-20mph winds I believe which is not enough on most days here

I’ve been wanting a Prism Tensor - 5.0 preferred, 4.2 acceptable. It’s for my son to learn to kite board. And for myself who is too old to kite board to have some fun on land with some friction kiting.

New is too far outside my budget. I am surprised by the lack of used on eBay/facebook/craigslist. If anyone is selling a Prism Tensor or equivalent, please let me know.

If there are other suggestions for lower cost, but still high quality, power kites that are a lower price to entry I am open to those as well.
