The stability and convenience of this modern Rokkaku make it great for fun flying, lifting, or fighting. Adjustable bow lines allow tuning for different winds.
This Rok was designed by Kevin Shannon, a kite maker whose roks have earned more fighting trophies than any other designer in America.
The hexagonal Rokkaku kite was originally developed for traditional kite fighting in Japan. Large paper and bamboo kites flown by teams would tangle, tip, or crash together and the last kite in the sky was the winner.
The kite measures 5.5 feet tall and 4.5 feet wide. It is constructed of durable ripstop with a fiberglass frame and comes complete with an exclusive Tuning and Fighting Guide. This Rok uses the four-bridle-point configuration for ease of tuning. Roks fly well in all winds and are excellent for intermediate or advanced fliers. They will also hold tube tails or line art easily. Use 100-200 pound flying line. |
