this was my first sport stunt kite, and it came as promised and delivered excellent performance. it is sturdy and pretty. string is very good too, not like some cheap kites. this kite does require at least a steady 7 to 8 mph to fly, but can also handle up to 25 mph.

I was disappointed when I first tried out the kite. It doesn't fly in light winds that well. However, after getting a chance to fly it at the beach in a steady wind I fell in love with it. This is a great first timers kite. It has crashed several times and is showing very little signs of wear. It is very easy to learn some simple tricks with this kite due to its superb control.

I got this kite for my sister, and neither one of us had ever flown a kite, other than the $5 type. This kite came with all of the strings connected except for the two handles. However, two of the eight strings were knotted unevenly and it took about 30 min for us to adjust them. It was a bit tedious and actually, I thought that we had adjusted them wrong and would probably have problems flying it. We took in to the beach on a moderately windy day and it felt impossible to control, but after about 15 min we got the hang of it and it was a blast. We flew it for about 2 hours because we were having so much fun wit it. The kite is also incredibly durable. We crashed it many times, and not lightly. We slammed it into the hard wet sand hard enough to leave about 4 inch deep indentations, and other than a couple of the fiberglass frame disconnecting, the kite showed no signs of damage. This kite is awesome and totally worth the money. Get it.
