Stunt kites, also known as dual line kites, are designed for you to control the movement of the kite in the air using two (or sometimes four) lines. They usually have spars although some are completely soft inflatable foil shapes.

Most models can withstand crashes, forgiving enough for people of any age to enjoy flying for the first time. Entry-level stunt kites are usually a ready-to-fly package, including lines and straps or handles.
