The 10 Best Stunt Kites | Top 10 Kids Toys

This review has been updated 6 times since it was first published in November of 2018. Stunt kites are on another level when compared to their traditional brethren. While a standard, single-line model might keep a child entertained for a few hours, these two-line flying sails are capable of aerial tricks that can wow any pilot or onlooker. Some of them can be set up with four strings for more advanced maneuverability, and all of them feature high-quality components.

Top 10 Algae Scrapers

10. Moon Glow Sports Airfoil

If you are unsure of whether you or your child will stick with kiting, the Moon Glow Sports Airfoil gives you a taste of it for less than $30. While it can’t perform at the same level as more expensive models, it lets you learn the basics of two-line flying.

9. Backyard Stunt 68-Inch

The Backyard Stunt 68-Inch (around $28) may only have a narrow safe operating wind speed range, but within that window it can perform an impressive array of tricks. It is also budget-friendly, so you won’t feel too bad if you crash it hard enough that it never flies again.

8. HQ Kites Symphony Beach III

The HQ Kites Symphony Beach III (around $35) is a low-cost way to get the whole family flying. You can buy one for each child without breaking the bank, and since there are three designs to choose from, they will never wind up fighting over which belongs to whom.

7. HQ Kites Bebop

The design of the HQ Kites Bebop (about $29) might be somewhat uninspired, but the value for money is certainly impressive. It is just responsive enough that beginners can fly it without difficulty, but not so much so that it crashes from a little oversteering.

6. Newdora Big Buzz

The Newdora Big Buzz (appx. $69) features color-coded lines that make it simple for anyone to fly. They are also made from a non-stretchy material to ensure it always flies consistently, whether using it one month or two years after purchasing.

5. Prism Snapshot

The Prism Snapshot (around $144) provides a lot of pull in moderate winds and can lift you off your feet in heavy gusts, making it a good training model for those looking to start power kiting. You have the option of setting it up for dual- or quad-line control.

4. Prism Nexus

The Prism Nexus (appx. $70) is engineered to have the same impressive performance as the company’s full-sized models, but in a compact, travel-friendly design. It also comes in at a more wallet-friendly price, and includes everything needed to start flying immediately.

3. HQ Kites Symphony Pro

The HQ Kites Symphony Pro (appx. $101) is a super-fast model that can easily pull you off your feet if you don’t start with a stable stance. While this might make it unsuitable for children and beginners, it is a blast for advanced pilots.

2. Prism Synapse

The Prism Synapse (about $47) has a parafoil design, which means there is no rigid frame to break if you accidentally crash it into the ground. This makes it a great choice for learning the basics of two-line flying. It also packs up small for convenient transport.

1. Prism Quantum

The Prism Quantum (appx. $110) is rugged enough to stand up to a beginner’s inevitable crashes, but maneuverable enough to keep even the most advanced pilots entertained. It has a commanding seven-foot wingspan that provides stability while drawing the eyes of onlookers.
