Sled kites are a type of traction kite designed for stability and ease of use. They have a simple, open design that allows air to flow through, creating lift and pulling power. This makes them popular for activities like kiteboarding and snowkiting, where they can harness wind energy effectively. These kites typically feature a lightweight frame and durable fabric, making them suitable for various weather conditions. Sled kites are often used by beginners due to their forgiving nature and ability to fly in lighter winds, providing an accessible entry point into the world of kite flying.
