This is a nifty little kite. It is very easy to fly on a breezy day without much effort. The little kids love it. I just help hold on to the string a bit so it doesn't soar away forever. It is beautiful with its bright colors. We actually have both color versions, Fire and Ice, and they are both pretty up it the air. It is nice to be able to quickly fold the kites up when we are finished, no sticks to mess with so you can just wad them up and stash 'em. I keep the kites in the car so when an opportunity presents itself they are quickly at hand. Good fun.

this is a good kite. no cross bar nonsense, no "construction" hassle, the ultimate in compact portability. This thing will fly without any foreknowledge of kite flying. It is small enough to fit in your pocket and can be used anywhere the wind blows; at the beach, on a hike, camping in the desert.
highly recommended for anyone with the desire to just fly a kite.

I love parafoil kites, they are great to have stuffed in a bag. They don't break when they crash (unless you tangle them in a tree). This one flys, but it needs a strong wind to do so since the line is heavy compared to the lifting power of this kite. It was fun to fly with my niece, but also frustrating since it was difficult to keep in the air without strong winds.
This is far from the worst small kite I've seen, it does fly, but I think going with a slightly larger parafoil might be better (or maybe lighter kite line?).
It has pretty nice tails.
