What is Traction Kiting? In brief, traction kites are specially designed kites which are flown by individuals and produce a large amount of power or pull. This power is then harnessed and used to pull the individual in a buggy, on a land board or on a surf board. This is traction kiting.
People can reach amazing speeds with these kites but can also reach amazing heights as well! With experience and skill the kiter can perform tricks in their buggys, on their land boards or on their surf boards and reach speeds in excess of 30mph!
Here at TK we hope to give you information about the sport in Scotland and also provide you with a place to chat to other kiters. Our forum provides kiters around Scotland a central place to organise meets and talk about their kiting experiences. We also provide a kiting gallery for our users to upload their kiting pictures too, if you would like your own personal folder, please contact us.
The TK Team travel around Scotland looking for new locations to kite so check out the forum to find out when they are going to be at a spot near you.
