Swiss Precision

Ingeniously simple, or simply ingenious? The kites of the Swiss Thomas Horvath can hardly be pressed into any category. Single line or maybe stunt kites? They haven't been mass-produced until now, because the artist manufactures his collections in Zurich by hand and with the usual Swiss precision.
For a long time, Horvath kites have thus remained an exquisite piece of art and engineering for select pilots. But times are changing, and with the Hybrid series from Invento, something like the "Volks-Horvath" is coming onto the market.
