Every now and then I generate a video of one of the he many kites I own(ed). Just to give you an impression of the character of that particular kite. Since kiting and filming is hard to combine, camera's are usually operated by other people or stationary (tripod). The Go-Pro camera may however be helm-mounted, on the kite or anywhere where it is comfortable. Differences in colours or image quality are a direct consequence of this variation in set-up.
S Kite 3.8 at sunset and low wind (with camera)
The S-Kite 3.8 is flown here at the Dutch coast, close to Julianadorp. The low 1 bft wind still allowed the kite to fly. Combined with air recodings which were recorded at around 2 bft.

S-Kite XS Julianadorp

Here the S-Kite XS is flown at a relatively stable 3bft, slowly up to 4 bft at the North sea beach at Julianadorp, the Netherlands. Hardly anyone at the beach this evening, ideal for flying.
S-Kite GSI 2-5 bft on 40m Liros DC161 lines
มุมมอง 627 หลายเดือนก่อน
The S-Kite GSI is unlike the other S-Kites. Where the other S-Kites are built to generate power, this one is optimized for speed. Yet it is not built very light, so it can be flown at higher winds and then also works like a tractor. One can even be lifted by this little rocket ! One of my favorite kites, if the wind is right, which it rarely is where I live.
Revolution Power + Blast
มุมมอง 1617 หลายเดือนก่อน
Short flight impression of an original Revolution Powerblast 2 → 4 and a self-built Revolution Blast. The latter was built without the vented cloth that is normally at the leading edge of the kite, thus making it faster but also more difficult to handle. They were flow with not very constant 3 bft wind.
HQ Devilwing 3 2
มุมมอง 1437 หลายเดือนก่อน
The HQ Devilwing is an easy to fly powerkite. With moderate wind you will already have a good work-out.
S-Kite 3.8 on 80m lines at 1-2bft with camera
มุมมอง 597 หลายเดือนก่อน
The S-Kites are my favorite kites, quite aggressive in response to changes in wind. That makes these kites a challenge, dependent on the wind I can choose between 0.6 and 5.6 square meters. Here the 3.8 m2, with camera on board on my regular flying area.
HQ Emotion and The Beast II
มุมมอง 737 หลายเดือนก่อน
Two very different classic kites from HQ. Regretfully they don't make them in this quality anymore. The Emotion is a trick kite whereas the Beast II is a power kite. In this video they were flown at low winds.

Table based on the principle of Tension and structural integrity (Look for Tensegrity on Wikipedia). Just an experiment to see how rigid such a construction is.
Siegers 340, Fusion 285 and S-Quick 300, 3 kites at 2-3 Bft
มุมมอง 1573 ปีที่แล้ว
A kite comparison was made at 2-3 Bft. The characteristics of the kites are very different; Siegers 340: old-school (90's) kite with pockets at the tips, slowing down the kite, allowing some tricks Fusion-285: a speed-kite S-Quick 300: A very nice power kite
S-Kite 1.2 at Halde (3 Bft, 40m lines)
มุมมอง 1303 ปีที่แล้ว
The site of Halde in Germany is a large Hill that was made from wast from a nearby coal mine. The Hill with 152m heigth is open to the public and used as kiting area, or just for enjoying the scenery. The walk up the 529 steps of the stairs is a stiff one, certainly with 30-40 kg of gear with me. Still it was worth the effort since I passed it on a kite-buying trip.
Curve 180 blue rainbow at 18-35 km/h
มุมมอง 1263 ปีที่แล้ว
This was the first time this kite was flown. The bridle was not optimized yet, reflected by a much lower speed compared to the black Curve 180 that I built before. The bridle will therefore be adapted. In this movie one can see that high wind speed was required to make the kite fly fast, in the original design and tuning the kite flies at much lower winds.
S-Kite XS at 18-35 km/h winds
มุมมอง 1923 ปีที่แล้ว
The S-Kite XS was flown at two consecutive days with the same wind conditions. The second day was with a thin layer of snow, making it very scenic. Despite its small size one can notice that it develops quite some speed and power with decent winds.
Ghost at 18-35 km/h wind: pulling like a tractor
มุมมอง 2823 ปีที่แล้ว
The Ghost is a small speed-delta, original name of the model: 3,14 (small version). Despite its relatively small size it is able to develop a lot of power as well as speed, while it is relatively easy to start.

Hi that's one great little kite, you haven't got a spare Elliot Gladiator 3.4 you would want to sell?
You wouldn't find it here then. Just contact me on www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-bestandsliste.html?userId=10602794 and I can see whether I can help you
Hi thanks for coming back to me,I have tried to set up an account so I can message you,but it appears to be for Germany has I live in the UK its not possible? By the way i do like your HQ Beast 2 I do own the original HQ Beast very stable kite. Kind regards Ian
Hi do you ship to the UK? Kind regards Ian
@@iandavies3978 0 seconds ago Hi Ian, You can create an account, just indicate you live in Germany, pick any German town e.g. Berlin and enter a postal code (google one). After setting up an account, we can have a private conversation, TH-cam has no facility that I know to share e-mail adresses without making them visible to everyone (including all sort of bots that will then spam you for the rest of your life). Shipping abroad to most countries (especially within EC) does not pose any issues.
Hi shall do asap great stuff 🙂👍
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Amazing! How can i get one in the USA?
Hello, can I please aks if you have any info about s-kite and how I can reached out to them? thanks in advance!
Hello 🙂 all your videos are awesome !
Thanks, I have not been active for a while, but I am fixing a few HQ kites that may be the next ones on video
@@armandjonkers848 Nice ! It's a good idea 🙂
어미새인가요?
👍
Mach das 3 mal die Woche und Du kannst bald zum Ironman nach Hawai, um denen zu zeigen wie es geht (grins)
Einmal im Monat reicht mir schon.:-), aber Hawai hoert sich gut an.
@@armandjonkers848 Ja, lecker warm und mehr Wind. Würde ich auch gerne mal hin.(Schmunzel)
Hallo, kannst du mir sagen, welche Bruchlast die 40m-Leinen in diesem schönen Video hatten? Danke!
Das sind Liros Leinen mit 175daN (kg) Bruchlast
@@KitingDodo 175 daN mit 2bft?
@@cocoahu6249 Braucht man nicht unbedingt mit 2 Bft, aber 110 daN ist schon sinnvoll. Ich möchte aber nicht ständig andere Leinen einsetzen und die Liros DC161 Leinen sind extrem dünn.
@@KitingDodo Danke für deine Antwort, damit kann ich lernen. Für die Fusion 285 habe ich Liros 120 und Liros 161; Ich habe die Fusion noch nicht verwendet, aber ich denke, mit diesen beiden Liniensätzen geht es mir gut.
Top - jetzt erst gesehen! Ich habe selber den S-Kite 4.5/5.6 früher auch 7.8 - aber Dein S-Big gefällt mir auch sehr gut. Der würde bestimmt auch gut im kite-Buggy gehen! Gruss Stefan.
Ich suche noch ein 4.5-er, bitte melden wenn Sie di los werden wollen. Der S_big ist jetztr bei ein Freund, hab aber nog zwei S-Quicks (240 + 300) die ich tauschen will. Reagieren Sie ueber Kleineinzeigen (www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-bestandsliste.html?userId=10602794) damit Dsikussion privat bleiben kann.
Hallo, schönes Video! Ist die Fusion 285 zu stark? Gibt es einen großen Unterschied zu N'Finity 1.2?
Er ist etwas schwieriger zu starten, gibt dafuer aber recht Dampf. Zu stark? Gibt es sowas ueberhaupt? Man soll einfach der Kite (und Einstellung der Kite) zur passende Wind und sein Geschmack aussuchen. Bie mir heisst das, bis das man abgeschleppt wird, und da vorbei, dann kann man sogar springen. Der Kite ist sehr Empfehlungswurdig, Kontakt: www.korvokites.de/index.php/de/
@@KitingDodo Entschuldigen Sie die Unannehmlichkeiten, aber können Sie bestätigen, dass der Wind in diesem Video 2bft war??
@@cocoahu6249 Es ist obere 2bft, also bei 11-12 kmh, schau wie das Gras bewiegt, es werden sicherlich auch 3bft Boen dabei sein, weil es Inlandwind ist. Normalerweise messe ich die Windgeschwindigkeit also sollte es ziemlich gut stimmen, obwohl es immer ein Momentaufname ist.
Hi, nice video! Can you tell me where to buy the "s-kite 0.9 ultra light"? Thanks
Pretty much impossible, they are not built anymore and in hands of collectors like me. For private communication, please respond via www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-bestandsliste.html?userId=10602794. Perhaps I can help.
Can't find anything like this on Amazon. I live in the Uk, and love kiting to aid healthy life style. I currently have a 197cm dual line delta which doesn't really offer quite enough of a work out. Not looking to do flips, just graceful turns on a 60 metre set of lines I already have. Any pointers would be very appreciated
That's very correct, these large kites are no longer built in series. All producers have stopped the production of extreme kites. The series are simply too small, the startup costs too high for less then 10 sales per year. A kite like this would cost easily 800-1200 Euro if it would be built today. The only chance to get them is through the 'old boys network'. Just occasionally you will find one in ebay, usually sold the very same day. If you contact me through www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-bestandsliste.html?userId=10602794 (and leave out the spaces), then I can perhaps help you a bit, I may have kites that I do not advertise ... I might even build one, one day. Anyway, continue through private mail via above mentioned route.
You want to sell those? 🤪
These two are no longer in my collection. I do however have a unique Mirage standard in fluorescent yellow/green that you can find in my other videos on sale at the moment (as well as some other specials). Please contact me through on of the adds that I have on www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-bestandsliste.html?userId=10602794. Note: only some of the kites that I may want to sell are offered here. More important in your case: the ones that are not offered there. Rather have this through private discussions, as shipment cost vary a lot, depending on the Kite size and destination.
Great photography, where was this videotaped at?
It was taken in my garden in Deventer, Netherlands. One of the best bird experiences I ever had (apart from feeding a wild kestral by hand)
@@armandjonkers848 In falconry, that bird is called a passage goshawk. I can't tell if it's a male or female, but falconers would love to have such a beautiful Goshawk like that. It's super dark on the back and is so red on the front, different than a lot of other Goshawks from other countries. Thanks for uploading that video. OSH :-)
@@oldschoolhawking8191 The video was recorded in July, maybe 1st week of August, that indicates the bird was probably born locally. If your 'passage' refers to the North - South migration, then this would be too early for the general migration of the more northern goshawk population. The goshawk is residental here, but we might, like certainly for buzzards, get birds from Scandinavia and Russia in winter.
@@KitingDodo The term "passage" does pertain to the migration of the bird, but not necessarily mean that the bird has actually migrated. If that makes sense. It's a falconry term, meaning it's a juvenile that left the nest. The bird in the video probably left the nest and just started hunting on its own. So that nest does have to be somewhere in the vicinity.
@@oldschoolhawking8191 Thanks for clarifying
Nein es hat nur sehr wenig Wind gegeben. Nur die Leichtwinddrachen und die Riesen wie der S-Kite 5.6 haben geflogen. Enige Momenten hat es ein richtige 2 bft gegeben.
Voll Cool !
Dear friend. First of all thanks for your vídeo. And one questions. I al looking for by a kite like the Mammut or this other of this video. Could you please tell me please where you find them? Thanks un advance, sir.
It is hard to get large delta's. Most companies have stopped producing them as the request is low and prices are getting very high. Large delta's that are sold, are usually sold inside the kiting fora. Look for www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-bestandsliste.html?userId=10602794 and contact me through private mail if you want to be informed of what large delta's I can offer. Prices of 100 Euro per square meter are very normal.
Very nice Here is mine th-cam.com/video/CftMOHS4nBc/w-d-xo.html
Nice kite and subscribed
Where are you from? I'm in Texas, USA, and I've been seaching for large framed power kites in the United States without any luck. There must not be any demand for large framed power kites. Do you know of any international kite distributors who ship to the United States?
Just write to kitingdodo@gmail.com for some large Kites that I have on sale.

Eines Tages... .. .. ... werde ich auch einen Matador haben (*_*)
Nice jump !
Schöner Kite, ich möchte mir auch einen Matador zulegen :)
Super vet!
Please find the Spacekites Torrero XT (XT for stronger version, suited for stacked flying) flown in Deventer, Netherlands by kiting Dodo. Wind was 23-48km/u (15-32knots = 4-6Bft) that afternoon. During the session I mainly had 4 Bft. For a clip of the Tauros or Matador refer to my other clips.
I might start doing that in future. I definitely think it is very appealing. But will that be the 3rd time I break my ribs?? Anyway this weekend there is a better forecast so jumps may be quite a bit higher than the ones here. I did 30m far 5m high in this field already, at a sudden gust during a max 2 bft period. Regretfully usually you don't have a camera around.
good job, now put on a board and you'll find out what it means to be an outlaw :)
@KiteTobi Ja ist deiner, fliege ihn gerne. Muss aber sagen das die Spacekites mir noch besser gefallen. Bei sehr wenig wind den Matador, sonnst der Tauros. Torrero XT ist mehr Spielzeug oder ab 6 Beaufort. Heute wider Matador und Tauros in Gespann geflogen. Auch dieses Mahl haben Vorbeigänger angehalten und Film/Bilder gemacht. Vorteil von Spavekites ueber S-kites: schneller schöner und einfacher zu starten. Aber zugegeben etwas weniger Leistung bei gleiche Oberflache im vergleich mit S-Kites.
Hey mein S-Kite 1.5 ! Wie ich sehe ist er in gute Hände gekommen :-)
