Gift: No

Pros: Colorful

Cons: Poor Design, Hard to Fly, Poor Stability

Best Uses: Fanning yourself

Describe Yourself: Intermediate

This is a horrible kite. It's nearly impossible to launch. I have tried it in various wind conditions and it continually nose-dives to the ground. Launch from the ground? Only if launching means repeatedly lifting a few feet and then slamming itself into the earth. I am currently attempting to undo a horrid snarl in the line besides. Do not buy this kite.
