ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Power kite

A power kite is a special type of kite that is very strong and can pull you around like a toy. Power kites are usually big and colorful, made of a strong fabric that can withstand strong wind and pull. You hold onto the handles or bar of the kite, and the wind pushes on the kite and creates a pull that you can use to move around or even fly high in the air.

Think of it like having a big superhero cape that you can control to move you around. Just like you use your arms and legs to move and fly around, you use the handles or bar to control the power kite and the wind to move and glide in the air.

Power kites are often used for thrilling activities like kite surfing, snow kiting, or land kiting, where you attach yourself to the kite and use the pull to move across water, snow, or land. And just like any superhero, you need to be careful and follow safety rules to avoid accidents and stay in control while using a power kite.
