STACK UK is the offical kite competition site; the new site has loads of useful (and growing) content. As of Feb 2007 I understand the site is being moved.

Ray Bethell has one of the best flyer sites around, brimmed full of content, detailing Ray's adventures in the kiting world.

Ray is the definitive number one geezer. Highly recommended.

kites.org hosts a number of excellent sites dedicated to promoting the sport of kite flying.

I've found in particular the Kite Fantastic site is a great source of information, loads of links and useful stuff like where to fly in the UK.

The Kite Flier's Site contains kite reviews, festival listings, STACK and links to the kiting world.

Roy Reed has some really nice animations of the STACK competition figures, which are much easier to understand than the static diagrams. Even if you don't compete, these are excellent patterns for developing fine kite control.

Flying line is very much a matter of personal choice, but I've been using Climax Protec line, both for solo and team flying. I've been using it for some years now and the performance is outstanding; lasts well too. Also worth a look at the other Climax lines. Information and retailers available from the importers, Emkay.

Most of our pultruded frame is supplied by Woolmer Forest Composites . Following the very sad death of Clive Davies, Woolmer has been out of action for some months, but expected to resume with new owners.

I'm terrible for losing ground stakes, so it's nice to see a sensible solution. Details and stockists from Graham Binney.

I'm hopless at making postings - but some of our customer's comments can be seen on the Gone With the Wind forum.
