Stunt Kite Quarterly - Hosted by Kitelife Magazine

Welcome to the SKQ web archives! Published from 1988 to 1993 by Cris Batdorff and family, Stunt Kite Quarterly packed into each issue more dedicated sport kite information and competition coverage than any other magazine in history and featured some of the most prolific and renowned kite writers such as Lee Sedgwick, Al Hargus, Bob Hanson, Roger Chewning, Andy King, and many others.

With such a rich and deep tapestry of our history hidden away in personal collections for so long, we here at Kitelife felt it to be of the utmost importance to make the pages of SKQ available yet again in nearly original format... After a great deal of consideration, we decided to include all advertisments as well to illustrate the history and evolution of sport kiting with full accuracy.

On the next page you'll find a link to the Kitelife Forum, where we encourage you to exchange your ideas regarding SKQ or any other topic.

Each issue took our editorial staff between four and eight hours to convert to searchable PDF format, and is now available as a complete collection... Please read the disclaimer below before proceeding.
