Thank you both for your advice. I have struggled to find local shops and clubs but did contact Kiteworld. Although I work in Barry photo was taken off the coast of Broad Haven in West Wales. Nice to know what kite it is though. I think I might look at Benson kites after reading the last comments. Thanks again Karen

Thank u both. I will have a look round and contact my local kite shop.

Oh my gosh Z. This looks so much fun. I love it cant wait to start. I didnt realise there is so much more to kites. Best place to purchase please. What kites would u recommend. Thank you

Thanks both. Think we have tried slacking but didn't know there was a name for it. Do u mean flying into the wind so the lines become slack and the kite stays still? No need for massive pull and tug of war. I struggle with this one sometimes in strong winds. Ive looked up ur videos of quad and guess u meant a kite flown by 4 line. It looks really good fun. Would we be best to go for light wind or quad? Could u suggest some suitable kites light wind and or quad so I can search for them please? There are so many I don't know where to start. Also any video or tutorials you would recommend? Difficult to look up the old kite info without giving the Christmas surprise away lol. Definately a bit addictive but want to add a bit more skill now. Thx Karen

Hello We have had a stunt kite for years with two strings and in general we are pretty good at controlling it, loops, figure of eight etc. I have no idea what kite it is but I've added a picture. I also wondered if we would be intermediate rather than beginner. I'm thinking of upgrading and getting a new kite for Christmas but I'm not sure what to look for next. I did wonder about a dual line parafoil kites? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you Karen
