2. Kite fishing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kite_fishing

   Kite fishing is a fishing technique. It involves a kite from which a drop line hangs, attached to a lure or bait. The kite is flown over the surface of a body of water, and the bait floats near the waterline until taken by a fish.

3. Sport kite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sport_kite

   High wind kite designs are often made with mesh panels or an "air brake" attached to the lines to fly in higher winds up to approximately 20 m/s (72 km/h; 45 mph). Wind ranges depend significantly on the skill of the pilot; novice or first time fliers may have difficulty keeping a kite airborne believing the wind is too light while experienced ...

5. Crosswind kite power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crosswind_kite_power

   Crosswind kite power is power derived from airborne wind-energy conversion systems (AWECS, also AWES) or crosswind kite power systems (CWKPS). The kite system is characterized by energy-harvesting parts flying transversely to the direction of the ambient wind, i.e., to crosswind mode; sometimes the entire wing set and tether set are flown in crosswind mode.

6. Kiteboarding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiteboarding

   By using depower, the kite's angle of attack to the wind is reduced, thereby catching less wind in the kite and reducing the pull. Bow kites have a wider wind range than C-kites, so two kite sizes (such as 7 m 2 and 12 m 2) could form an effective quiver for winds ranging from 10 to 30+ knots for a 75 kg (165 lb) rider. [51]

7. Kite line - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kite_line

   A set of kite lines. In kiting, a line is the string or thin cord made of cotton, nylon, silk, or wire, which connects the kite to the person operating it or an anchor. Kites have a set of wings, a set of anchors, and a set of lines coupling the wings with the anchors. Kite lines perform various roles: bridle, control, tug, or special duty.
