All About Parafoil Kites
Welcome to Volume 2 of our series: Starting With The Basics!
This week, we are going to dive into parafoil kites. A parafoil kite is a frameless, soft kite that honestly looks quite similar to a parachute! They use wind-filled fabric to create an airfoil shape similar to an airplane wing.
