Your worldwide kite partner
We’re glad to be your Worldwide Kite Partner and won’t waste time with a lot of pretty words and fluff, instead we’ll just let you know KiteLife® is completely owned and operated by full time kite flyers as a nexus and general resource for those who enjoy either recreational or hardcore kite flying with single, dual or quad line kites, indoors or out… The vast majority of this website is also FREE TO USE, thanks to our official KiteLife Subscribers and Site Sponsors who generously support our efforts.
That’s the whole pitch, so I invite you to browse our resources below and via the navigation links at the top of this page!
