Keyring Kites

by Kevin Humphrey on March 21st, 2006

When it comes to playing and entertaining one’s self, it doesn’t get much simpler than heading down to the park and flying a kite; and these cool little Keyring Kites make it easy to ensure that you’re always prepared for when the urge strikes (or someone tells you to go fly one).

It’s a small yet fully functioning strutless parafoil kite that’s designed to fold down into a tiny keyring pouch that fits easily into a pocket. The parafoil design allows for easy kite flying, even in poor wind conditions.

This particular one here comes with 30 meters of bridle string (about 100′) and can be had from iwantoneofthose.com in the UK for a mere £1.99. A commenter pointed out in another blog that he’s seen them at Target for a couple of dollars.

Here’s the product page at iwantoneofthose.com for more details.

“Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.”
