Types of Kites That are Cool!

There are so many types of kites around the world.

You can see many of them at our Kite Pictures page by clicking here.

The great thing about kites is that they are so bright and beautiful and so cheap to buy.

I have seen quite a few and also discovered a few different ways to use kites other than just flying.

Did you know that in some countries they use kites in a type of dog fight. The idea is to cut the string of your opponents kite which makes his fall to the ground. Who ever wins the dog fight gets to keep their opponents kite - Woo Hoo!

Did you also know that different types of kite are used for fishing, surfing, snow skiing, sailing and landboarding just to name a few.
