“As someone who's been waiting for this kite to come back for years, I wasn't sure it could live up to my memories. It exceeded them. Incredibly responsive, pulls quite hard for its size, and the construction quality is superb. Already planning on a second.” — Jasper M., UK

Mountain bikers
You know what it’s like when your ride clicks. This is that feeling — different terrain, same flow state. Fly it in fields or on beaches. Anywhere there’s wind and wide-open space.
Dinghy sailors
You understand power in a sail. The pull at gust? You’ll recognise it immediately. Except there’s no boat to capsize this time.
Kiters & outdoor enthusiasts
You’ve seen cheap kites wobble and crash. This kite flies in winds that fold the competition. This is what properly built feels like. People stop and watch every time.
One kite is brilliant.
Two kites is a different sport entirely.
These kites are engineered to stack. Connect them in series and the pull doubles.
Trusted by record-breakers. Made for everyone.
BBC One
Flexifoil kites were filmed for a BBC One ident specifically because the kite in flight was too striking not to use. That’s not paid advertising. That’s a kite that earns its place on national television.
Guinness World Records
Sir Richard Branson and his family set three kiting world records using Flexifoil kites. Three records. One weekend. The Flexifoil name is visible throughout the press backdrop.
What people say.
“I was really excited to see Flexifoil International re-launch the full range and sizes of their iconic Stacker Series kites. I've been equally excited when my new kites arrived and I have been impressed with the fabrics used, the quality of construction, and the print capability. Importantly, the flight capability and fun factor of the new range is excellent! FULLY RECOMMENDED!”
Guy R., UK
“Great fun to fly. At 50, I just wanted to relive the simple joy of flying a kite like I did as a kid...”
Mike T., UK
“I was one of the first to get my hands on the new Hot Shot 4 and I have to say Flexifoil have absolutely nailed it. The build quality is exceptional and you can feel the craftsmanship the moment you open the bag. It flies exactly as I remember from years ago but feels even more refined. Worth every penny and the wait.”
David R., UK
293 kites.
One stack.
They disappeared
into the sky.
In 1994, on the beach at Le Touquet, France, a team launched a stack of 293 Flexifoil Stacker kites — the 6ft version of the 4ft kite you're looking at today. The first 10 kites went up. Then the next 10. The power of those already flying pulled the rest into the air. The stack climbed until the kites were barely visible against the clouds — a thread of colour dissolving into the grey French sky.
The pull was so immense that industrial heavy machinery was brought in as anchors. Custom pulleys. Tension rigs built for the occasion. The tide was coming in fast. This is what the Stacker kite becomes when you let it stack.
Start with one. Stack when you’re ready.
The 4ft Flexifoil — your entry point into the world's most stackable kite range.
The details.

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 4s and Stacker 6s. 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 4s and Stacker 6s, 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.
How to Stack
- Start with one kite flying solo
- Add a second kite using stacking lines — clip to the leading edge, launch, and feel the pull double
- Build your stack — 2, 3 or 6. Always add one kite at a time. If it feels too powerful, reduce the stack
- Experience the speed, sound and lift of true aerial performance
Stacking lines and upgraded line sets are available in our store.
Setup Instructions
Full illustrated instructions are included via a QR code printed on the bag and replicated on the kite itself. Scan to download a clear PDF guide. Most people complete first-time setup in 5–10 minutes.
Questions people ask before they buy.
How long does it take to set up?
What does the setup actually involve?
- Connect the spars — the rigid rods that give the kite its shape. They slot together and slide into the kite. About 60 seconds.
- Unwind and attach the flying lines — pre-measured, attach to the kite as per the instructions. About 90 seconds.
- Attach the handles — your padded wrist-straps clip to the ends of the flying lines.
