This tutorial explains the primary differences between the many types of kite on the kiteboarding market these days. It explains the difference between C shape kites and flat kite (sometimes called bow kites). It then explains why high aspect and low aspect kites perform differently. To help new kiters decide what equipment suits them, the video looks at a few options, and explains common terms you will here when searching for a kite.

Great video, it is an issue that I spend explaining and always ends in a term ... "pushes." But most do not like technical knowledge and only arrive accelerated when trees are shaken ... and just say it's blowing!
When you want something from your kite, you should have this knowledge
Thank you
