this kite is a little hard to learn but once you get the hang of it's it is a lot of fun. i replaced the factory string with two 50lb/100ft lines and makes for better flight/tricks. the kite is somewhat cheaper but will take a lot of abuse. i've flown mine about 30-40 times in gusting winds and repeatedly slammed it hard into the ground and into the sides of buildings. after an impact you do have to re-seat the spreaders/stays but you're back in the air in seconds. when it finally does come apart i'll probably buy another.

Nice kite but EVERYTHING is flimsy: the struts, the connectors and the handles. Within 10 minutes of flying in a nice breeze, connectors split (thus releasing the strut in flight) and the folding wing mechanism strut broke inside its connector when the kite hit the ground - total write-off. The kites bends in the gusts and stalls. The split handles just bend in your hand like noodles and snatch the string where you don't want it and make you crash the kite (which then breaks). Not worth the money, however small.

Good quality, for reasonable price. Hard to control on the start, but once used to it, it get's so much fun.

The kite is good quality for it's price. It is not as durable as I had hoped but again, for it's price it is what I would expect. It's still a great two line kite and is great for teaching a beginner how to control and handle a kite before moving them to a power kite.

I'm in my early 20's and got this to take to the park when on dates with my girlfriend. I had no idea that a kite could be this fun! It's easy to control, pretty durable, and quite intense when the wind picks up.
