A kite messenger having an elongated body with a front and rear end. At least one sail is pivotally mounted to the body at a position spaced from the rear end of the body and movable between a first position in which the sail extends outwardly from the body and a second position in which the sail folds against the body. A latch is mounted to the body adjacent its rear end and movable between an open and a closed position. In its closed position, the latch holds one end of an elongated tether while the other end of the tether is attached to the sail and holds the sail in its first position. An actuator mounted to the front of the body opens the latch when the messenger reaches a predetermined position thus allowing the sail to collapse to its second position. A pair of guides are attached to the body and slidably attach the body to a kite string.
