Choose between two main styles of kiteboarding trainer kites; Foil kites and Inflatable Leading Edge Kites.

Foil Kites - Have a top and bottom surfance and inflate by ram air pressure. They are similar to a parachute only much more sophisticated in the bridling to allow you to control the kite.
Advantages
  • More Affordable
  • More durable - no internal bladders to pop or puncture!
  • Easier to set-up - No pre-inflating of the kite as it is completely assembled out of the bag and inflates itself through ram air pressure as it takes flight.
  • Much lighter kites so they fly in much lighter winds, giving you more days that you are capable of flying the kite.

    Disadvantages
  • Most of them cannot be used in the water as they will sink.

    Inflatable Leading Edge Kites - Are more similar to actually kiteboarding kites only much smaller and therefore safer. They are a single surface kite with bladders that are pre-inflated with a hand pump to give the kite the structure it needs to fly.

    Tutor Inflatable Leading Edge Trainer Kite

    Advantages
  • Can be used in the water to practice water relaunching techniques and body dragging exercises!
  • Will behave a little bit more like a larger kiteboarding kite.

    Disadvantages
  • More Expensive
  • Less Durable as it can puncture or pop if crashed hard on the ground.
  • A lot heavier so it needs a lot more wind, at least twice that of a foil type trainer kite.

    Cross Over Kites A foil type construction, but with very unique closed cell construction that allows the kite to water relaunch.

    Hydra 350 Water Re-launchable Foil Trainer Kite

    You get the durability and light weight benefits of the foil kite AND you get the water relaunching and body surfing advantages of an inflatable leading edge.

    There are only two cross over kites on the market.
