SuperSize 3D Kites
Mammoth six-foot kites are fun (and easy!) to fly.
Overview
Take to the skies with a SuperSize 3D Kite!
Unlike a traditional kite made from a flat wing, each 3D kite is printed and shaped to create a truly three dimensional structure.
Thanks to their large, six-foot sails and lightweight fiberglass airframes, SuperSize 3D Kites soar with ease.
The collapsible frame makes transportation easy, and their ripstop nylon sails will handle years of abuse. Designed for ages eight and up, SuperSize 3D Kites include 170 feet of line, a handle, and stabilizing tails. Available in several styles.

Sail the skies with 3D kites
Thanks to their large wings and tails, single-line SuperSize 3D Kites fly with relative ease. Warning: expect compliments from passersby; they're a sight to behold!
Monster-sized kites require little wind
Our obsession with doing it jumbo is well-documented. So it should go without saying that we love these colossal kites.
At their longest point, they're 6 feet across! However, they weigh less than a pound, so they'll take to the skies with as little as 7 mph of wind.
Sturdy fiberglass frame maintains stable flight
SuperSize 3D Kites are built to last. Their lightweight fiberglass airframe helps maintain a stable flight and can withstand a beating in the air and on the ground.
The sails are made from durable ripstop nylon. So instead of ten minutes of "fun" with those cheap, paper-thin plastic kites from the dollar store, you'll enjoy years of fun with 3D Kites.
The frame is also collapsible for easy transport.
Includes handle and line
SuperSize 3D Kites include everything you need to hit the wide open sky. Assembly is child's play and each kite includes handle, line, and fun tails.
Breaking down your kite for transport is a cinch, too. Depending on the style, all you'll need to do is remove a few fiberglass supports and fold 'er up.
Own the blue yonder!
SuperSize 3D Kites are currently available in two "own the skies" styles: Pirate Ship and Dragon. In our experience, they're both great fliers. The choice of which one is "better" is purely an aesthetic one.
However, in an effort to avoid offending the kite gods, we suggest you purchase at least one of each.
