What is a "power kite"?
A power kite is a large kite designed to generate significant pulling force when flown in the wind. Unlike regular kites, power kites are often used in activities like kite surfing or landboarding, where the wind is used to move the rider across the ground or water. These kites have strong, durable materials and are controlled by lines attached to handles or a harness. The size and shape of the power kite allow it to catch more wind, providing enough power to lift or move a person or vehicle.
Examples
The power kite soared gracefully in the sky.
He flew his power kite high above the beach.
