About This Kite
The Flexifoil Stacker 4ft is a high-wind favourite — fast, tough, and thrilling to fly.
-
Lightning-fast turns, minimal pull — pure fun even in strong wind
-
Perfect for beginners, pros, and everyone in between
-
Easy to stack — create your own high-speed flying display

Suitable for ages 8+ under adult supervision. When stacking, an adult should test the power of the stack to ensure the 'under 18' is capable of flying it in a controlled and safe manner.

Buying Your First Kite? Start Here.
If this is your first Hot Shot 4, we recommend purchasing it with the ideal line set for 1-2 kite stack flying:
40m / 130ft - 70kg / 150 lb Flying Line Set + Padded Wrist Straps (3rd choice in the drop-down menu)
This setup is perfect for learning the basics and building confidence on your own.
Thinking About Stacking? (See table below for specifications)
If you plan to stack multiple Hot Shot kites in the future, you’ll need stronger flying lines to handle the extra power.
For example, if you eventually want to fly 5 Hot Shot kites stacked together, go for:
40m / 130ft - 135 kg / 300 lb Flying Line Set
Make sure to choose the right flying line set based on how many kites you plan to stack — now or later. Keep in mind: the stronger the line, the heavier it is. That means it requires more wind power to fly. So if you're flying just one Hot Shot 4' on lines meant for a 10+ kite stack, you'll need significantly stronger winds to be able to fly the kite.
Stacking Kits
Stacking kits will be available to purchase closer to dispatch. If you’ve reserved two or more power kites, we’ll ship them with your order at no extra delivery cost.
Flying Line Sets and Padded Wrist Straps
To keep things flexible (and more affordable for returning customers), we offer flying line sets and padded wrist straps for control as optional add-ons.
Many fliers already own a set and don’t need duplicates. By offering them separately, you only pay for what you actually need.
If you're new to Flexifoil or kiting in general, we recommend adding a flying line set and padded wrist straps with your first kite so you're ready to fly right out of the bag.
Make sure to choose the right flying line set based on how many kites you plan to stack — now or later. Keep in mind: the stronger the line, the heavier it is. That means it requires more wind and power to fly. So if you're flying just one Hot Shot 4' on lines meant for a 10-kite stack, you'll need significantly stronger winds.

Power Comparison
Compare the relative pulling power of the Flexifoil Power Kite range:
1 × Super 10 = 6 × Hot Shot
1 × Pro-Team 8 = 4 × Hot Shot
1 × Stacker 6 = 2 × Hot Shot
2 × Super 10 = 12 × Hot Shot
You can fly Flexifoil Power Kites individually or join them together and build yourself a MONSTER POWER STACK.
You can stack a mix of Flexifoil Hot Shot 4’s and Stacker 6's. Always make sure that the larger kites are at the top of the stack and use the line strength stacking specification for the largest kite size. So if you were stacking Hot Shot 4’s and Stacker 6's, you would use the Stacker 6 line strength stacking specification.
You will find all the recommended kite flying lines in the flying line section of the store.
