Parafoil kites are a type of soft, inflatable kite that do not require a rigid frame. They are made from lightweight fabric and have a unique design that allows them to catch the wind effectively. When launched, the kite fills with air, creating a shape that provides lift and stability. These kites are popular for recreational flying and are often used in activities like kite surfing and kiteboarding. Parafoil kites come in various sizes and colors, making them appealing to both beginners and experienced flyers. Their simplicity and ease of use contribute to their widespread popularity.
