5AWESOME and EASY KITE!!!!!!!
By B-Wood
First things first...Amazon states it comes with a nylon carrying case/pouch for the kite, but in reality, it doesn't. But that was not the selling point in my purchase of this kite. I've read a few reviewers who are highly upset about amazons inaccurate description that states it includes a pouch and were upset that it didn't. SO WHAT???!!! I bought this for the kite, not the pouch.
The kite itself is AWESOME and extremely easy to fly. The 125 feet of kite line it comes with is barely enough to whet your appetite because you will want it to go much higher than that. Once you get this kite up in the air, it stays up there, even with a light, but steady breeze. I have failed at flying other styles of kites, diamonds, deltas, box kites, you name it, I couldn't get them to stay up in the air for more than a few minutes before they came crashing down. This one however, is a completely different story. This is the highest level in "kid" kites before you start getting in to more expensive territory. (which will be my next venture after these break down, if they ever do)

Things to consider when buying these.
Purchase more line...at least 250 feet
Get a Kite string reel too, cuz you are gonna wear your arm out reeling it back in with a traditional spool.
Better tails for better stability, all though the ones they come with work well enough.

Even without these minor "upgrades", the kite flies extremely well out of the package.
Highly Recommended Kite! If you can't fly one of these, then you wont be flying any other style.

5Great kite!!!!!
By M. Brandt
The kite is a breeze to take out of the package and quickly begin to play. The material is resilient and attractive to boot. The storage bag it comes with is a great idea as well. The only problem I see with the kite is the line that comes with the kite is too short and the spool is difficult to use. I would recommend purchasing a different spool--preferably one which is up to 500 feet. Overall, the kite is great fun!

5Awesome kite!
By P. Johnson
Bought two of these kites (plus two additional 500 ft. spools of string) for my boys to take to the beach on spring break. There's nothing to put together so we just pulled them out of the packages and within seconds the kites were up in the air. So easy to fly! When finished, the kites simply fold up nice and compact so we can store them in a large ziplock bag and keep them in the minivan for impromptu kite flying on windy days. Great purchase!
