Have you ever heard of Power Kiting? You probably heard of kite surfing and boarding, but maybe you don't know about speed kiting.

Power Kites are the category between the normal funny ones and the big ones made for kitesurfing and boarding. They are designed for entry level pilots that like a powerfull pull when they go out and fly one of those. Lots of people likes to make tricks and stunts, then they go for a standard sport stunt one. But there are people who are looking for strong pull... those will want to try a Power Kite.

They are known as Speed too... they are much bigger than normal wings. Some are big enough to drag you and even jump. They are the closest thing to litteraly fly for a man. You'll be able to run and then jump as high as 15 and 20 feet in the air before landing softly on the ground and going after another strong wind to jump. They are a entry level for beginners who will eventually want to go for kitesurfing or kiteboarding.

There are many companies that actually manufacture speed and power kites. Prism is one of the most popular one. They make the very nice Snapshot series. You can have a smaller or a bigger one. If you are a young teenager or a bigger adult, you'll be able to find a power kite that will drag you for hundreds of feet on your favorite beach.

Be aware that you should try one of these in lighter winds if you are at your first attempt. Many tried them in strong wind conditions at first and ended out having injuries like broken legs. The best is to find a friend who already own a power kite to try it and see if you like them. This way, you'll be able then to choose the right size wing for you.
