A blog detailing our collection of Peter Powell kites, and chronicling our flying of these kites. Plus a bit of PP kite history thrown in. Our collection to date stands at 77 kites and can be seen here. I am keen to expand the collection, so if you have an old Peter Powell kite, whether made in the UK or the US, gathering dust and looking for a new home, why not get in touch? Depending on the kite (does it bring something new or different to my collection?), its condition (is it flyable? how much TLC does it need?), and the price you ask (+ shipping if from outside the UK), we may well be able to do a deal.

PPKOG 2023 kite

I'm pretty sure you're familiar with the logo for Peter Powell kites, which is used on their web-site, Facebook page, etc. 



Now to the best of my knowledge, there never was a UK-produced Peter Powell Stunter with the chevron sail pattern as shown in the logo (though chevrons were produced in the US). Until now, that is, because the chevrons have arrived!

To mark that occasion, it was decided to use a chevron sail pattern for the PPKOG for 2023, with the PPKOG logo prominently on the kite this time. My first PPKOG kite (in 2019) was a triple-stack, whereas the 2020, 2021 and 2022 PPKOG kites were singles. Time for another stack? I decided to go for a double-stack this time, with both kites having the chevron sail pattern. And with blue tails, obviously, to match the kite in the logo. 






First official UK Chevron Peter Powell kite looks pretty good, doesn't it?
