A stunt kite that fits in your jacket pocket.
The Kitefold Stunt 2 is a dual-line sport kite with a carbon frame that collapses into a tube the length of a rolled umbrella. Pull the cord, snap three joints and you are flying in ninety seconds, then pack it away before the wind shifts. We designed it on a beach in Oregon after one too many kites snapped in the back seat of a car, and we are taking preorders to fund the first thousand.
Charged now, shipped in order of purchase, and refunded in full if we miss the estimated date by more than sixty days.

Five ideas that make a kite pack away
We rebuilt every part of a classic stunt kite so that nothing in the bag is longer than your forearm.
A frame in three folding sections
Carbon spars are joined by spring-loaded hinges that lock with an audible click and release with a squeeze, with no tools and no lost pins.
Sail cloth that shrugs off salt
Ripstop nylon with a silicone finish dries in minutes and keeps its colour after a full summer of sun and spray.
Handles you can grip with gloves
Moulded foam grips and a wrist loop sit steady in a cold hand and a wet hand, and the line spools lock without twisting.
A tube that goes in a carry-on
Thirty-eight centimetres long and weighing less than a litre of water. The tube clips to a bicycle frame or the side of a backpack.
Flies from a whisper to a gale
A tuned bridle keeps the kite stable from six to thirty-five kilometres per hour, which covers most afternoons and a few evenings.

Early flyers on the prototype
“I carried the prototype on a three-week trip around Portugal. It spent more time on cliffs than in my bag, and I have never been so glad to pack so little.”
“My son has broken three kites on the school bus. The tube survived a full term of being sat on and the kite inside came out flying.”
“I teach kite flying to teenagers on a windy field. The bridle forgives mistakes in a way that keeps beginners smiling.”
Preorder questions, answered plainly
When will I be charged?
Your card is charged when you place the preorder, and you receive a receipt right away. Any shipping cost is shown before you confirm.
What if shipping is delayed?
We will email you any change to the schedule. If we miss the estimate by more than sixty days, you can cancel for a full refund.
Is the kite suitable for beginners?
Yes. Dual-line kites need a little practice, and the pocket field guide takes you from your first launch to a simple loop on the first afternoon.
Do you ship outside the United States?
We ship to Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Australia and New Zealand. Customs duties are shown at checkout where they apply.
What colours are available?
Sunset coral, harbour blue and meadow green. You choose after your payment, and colours are allocated in preorder order.
The best kite is the one you remembered to bring.
Reserve the Stunt 2 today at the preorder price and have it waiting for the first windy weekend of the year.
