Sky Shark Wrapped Tapered Tubes

Sky Burner Kites was the first to develop and use tapered tubes in our sport kites. We began by developing and adopting G-Force tubes; next, Sky Burner produced Black Diamond Tubes. The next progressive step for us was the distribution of Sky Shark Tubes and the eventual take-over of ownership.
For 27 years Sky Burner Kites has been manufacturing tubes for the kiting industry. The tubes became the standard for high end sport kites and continue to be the most widely used. Sky Shark continues to make an impressive range of tubes subject to the weight verse deflection. In addition to the kiting industry, our tubes are sold in a variety of industries in a multitude of capacities.
Weights and specifications on all Sky Shark Tubes can vary due to material variances.
All Sky Shark Tubes can be purchased on the www.kitesandfunthings.com web site.
