Hello, I look for delta for traction.

Most delta shaped kites are not well suited for most forms of kite traction (foils and tube kite work best), however, some folks still use stacks of speedwings.

I don't think you can buy them, but here are some resources for making your own:

There actually ARE some good fixed wing stunt kites made for traction that you can buy pre-made. Only thing is, you really might have more fun and save more money if you use foils for traction.

Anyway, go to http://www.elliot.de

They've got AWESOME kites for traction, both fixed wing stunt kites and foils. Even though I'm a Flexifoil fanatic, my favorite small size is the 4.8 Ekko. Good luck! (maybe a year too late?)

Also The Rev. super blast and power blast are really good for traction kiting.
