Abstract: A system for use in flying kites and the method of its use are disclosed. The system comprises an elongated tapered rod to which are attached two relatively large diameter round disks. A multiplicity of small constant diameter rods are attached to and between the relatively large diameter round disks by way of small holes in the relatively large diameter disks, to form an open cylindrical reel onto, or from, which kite string can be wound or unwound. The method of use of the system provides that a user form closed areas with each hand between the thumb and first finger of each hand, then loosely place one end of the tapered elongated rod into one such closed area, and the other end of the elongated tapered rod loosely into the other such closed area. The method of use then provides that the user perform large circular motions with his or her hands, each hand moving approximately 180 degress out of phase with the other hand.
