Seattle AirGear

Hotter speed and turning than competition kites. Higher-quality exercise and livelier pull than power kites.
WindDances are "airgear," a new concept. They fly better and feel more exciting than typical stunt kites.
Our other advancements: Ergo T-handles that boost feel, control, exercise. Natural active FLY-a-kite skill.

How WindDances FLY better than other dual-line kites in three fundamental ways

Superior response to
PULL-on-your-kite-line skill!

When you pull hard and far on ONE line,
that is, when you enthusiastically use basic turning skill,
many trick, competition, and power kites
turn poorly, break in midair, or fall out of the sky.
That is a serious product design/engineering fault.

WindDances respond with
fast, tight, & powerful spins!

Pulling too hard and too far on one line, a huge error with most kites,
is hot turning & spinning technique for a WindDance!
With most kites, you don't dare stomp on the gas while turning hard.
But with a WindDance, stomping on the gas while turning hard is encouraged
because of the fun and the exercise!

Superior response to the wind!

Hot edge to power-zone acceleration!

Hot acceleration when gusts hit!

One precision-tuned bridle setting
gives top performance in ALL wind strengths!

Superb in light AND strong winds!

Continuously FLIES at peak performance
in widely fluctuating winds!

A typical dual-line kite distorts and loses performance as it nears the power zone and as the wind rises.
Therefore it is less speed responsive to flight-envelope location and to the wind,
needs different bridle settings for different winds, and has a narrow good-performance wind range.
To get best performance, you must change the bridle setting for each different wind,
or use a different specialized kite for each different wind, difficult to do when the wind keeps changing.
When the wind strength is rapidly fluctuating, it is impossible to fly at peak performance.

Superior steering-&-turning feel!

The pull RISES when you turn!

Benefits: Exceptional control!
A natural feel! Faster learning! Easier to fly!
More excitement!
Better exercise -- the WindDancing Workout!

With trick, competition, and power kites, the pull DROPS when you turn,
a steering-&-turning feel that's the opposite of what you find in all other vehicles and gear.
More-difficult to control, more-difficult to learn, less exercise, less fun.
