The iconic fighter kite by Basir Beria was made famous when he designed and made it for the movie “The Kite Runner.”  The one showed is the very first he made of that design and due to the amount of time and use its colors have faded – however the one you will be getting will have the original vibrant colors and signed by the maker to show authenticity.

Simple, small and cheap beginner kite.  Frame is made from hand carved bamboo in the traditional method by Afghan fighter kites. Stronger than tissue kites but not as durable as our plastic and mylar models.  Great starter, small and easy to maneuver, good for kids wanting to learn how to fly a kite or get into kite fighting.
