Pros & Cons
Pros
Kite comes ready to fly thank god bc the knots are perfect and so are the lines. This is not a kite designed to pull you on anything (although i do know it will pull me on skates, skis, and slippery ground) this kite is so much fun.
Once airborne it is responsive and simple to fly. Launching by yourself is the hardest part. I fly it solo, and if you follow the directions in the videos, it is easy to launch even by yourself.
Cons
Don't waste time or money on this kite. This one doesn't translate well to the feel of the actual kites used in kiteboarding.
Highlights
Quality
The quality materials and sewing ensured that it stood up to the wind's powerful force.
Great trainer kite and lots of fun with the kids too!

Got hooked right away: great stability in various wheather conditions (anything from 10 knots and up gives great performance).

Tried this kite in spain after several similar products.
