Sport Kites are 2 or 4 line "stunt" kites.

Most people on here are power kiters and dont have much to say about them

and those that are into them tend to hang out here:

I guess the reason for this category being here is because Flexifoil used to manufacture sport kites, both at the low and high ends of the market.

Once apon a time Flexifoil built sports kites, and they were very popular. they were designed by one of the greatest designers of the UK who's reputation is still the highest today.
The Fexifoil Matrix was one of the best in it's day, some still consider it as good. When they stopped production, the design was taken over by Carl Robertshore, who tweecked into a world class kite.
I'm with Mr Bleepy, for more info on sports kites today, check out his link to fractured axle.
Yes, this area is hardly used nowadays, but there are a number of us power users that like sports kites as well, but the low rate of useage does beg the question of why flexifoil still maintain this thread.
