Kites
The old days of string, bamboo and canvas have given way to high tech rip-stop nylon and carbon fibre kites with computer aided designs specially for sport and power kiting.
Therefore, kiting has evolved from a leisure activity to the status of an 'extreeme' sport. For most boys this means one thing...Kites are very cool. The bigger the kite the better.
If you are confused by "quad line parafoils" it is a good idea to ask the experts before buying akite for a boy. You want to ensure the right level of kite safety and excitement.
For younger children there are pocket kites which have no spars and can literally be stuffed in a coat pocket, allowing the kite to be carried around all the time, awaiting a good windy day.
