Because lets face it, the industries kites are expensive, dont last very long, and dont have a lot of variation, so let us innovate and influence future directions in kite powered sports. The more amateurs building kites, and experimenting with new designs, foil sections, aspect ratios, etc. the better for the sport. So here is the start of Open Source Kite Building. All you need is a sewing machine and some will. The best materials can be easily obtained and do not cost a lot. Excellent open source CAD programs exist. Bladders can be bought, even made. It can take as little as 6-8 hours to build your own kite, in BIG sizes. You will find below the complete plans and instructions necessary to build your first (maybe 2nd?) inflatable kite. From here we can start sharing our designs and be the LINUX of kiting.
