In the Breeze 2973 Rainbow 62" Sport Kite Dual Line Stunt Parafoil Includes Braided Kite Line and Bag | lawn-game-equipment

Back in my youth about 20 years ago I used to have a acrobatic kite that I used to fly under the Verrazano Bridge in Brooklyn. I've been going to the beach with me daughter and it seems that the kites we are buying from local stores break easily, don't work or are just pain boring... I decided to give this a try... First impression - This comes in a little pouch that made me thing they sent the the wrong item... turns out it fits in a littel pouch that is super portable and light! Second impression - This thing has like a million strings!!! How am I going to unrable then all... It was easy... it came apart without tangles but it does take a little patience to do it nice and slow... Third Impression - God forbit I read the instructions... I used to do this all the time and I'm a guy right? So I went right to put it together. My advice, read them. If not, the main thing is to lay the strings out to the full lenght on the ground and attach the hand grips to each side of the kite and the hand grips to each string end. (Don't worry, this took about 2-3 minutes, not hard). Final Impression - Getting the kite up was super easy with a helper. Wife help the kite up facing the wind, I made sure the strings were both equally taught and once we got a good gust I pulled. I was doing my old figure 8s in the air and even did a trick where I ran the kite a full speed across the ocean water and touched the top of a wave with the tip of the kite (Keep in mind I did this for years before so don't go crazy the first time out. My recommendation? BUY THIS THING!!! It is cheap price but built well. It has everything you need, it's portable, easy to use, pretty in the sky, I had a small audience within 10 minutes of opening the bag :) Kids loved it (But little kids will not be able to fly it,just look at it) ... Oh yea, with a nice strong wind it is also a good arm workout!!! Enjoy!

This is my first time ever flying a 2-line parafoil beginner stunt kite. I am 72 years old and the last time I flew a kite was when I was 12 years old. That kite was a triangular paper kite with crossed wooden stays. I got the kite to fly with my 6 and 10 year old grandson's. My flying area is atop a grassy hill on my farm with good winds and no trees or power lines. We flew the kite for 2 consecutive days when the winds were 6 to 21 mph (measured with an anemometer). Cons: If the wind speed is not constantly ABOVE 6 mph this kite will not fly. If the wind speed is between 10 and 20 mph it flies best. If the wind speed is over 20 mph it will pull a 50 pound child over. If your balance /strength and coordination are not average you probably should stick with a traditional kite, not a parafoil stunt kite. Pros: 1) It is easy to launch. Easier to launch with one person holding the upper leading edge (white leading edge which is a double vented) so the kite can fill with air. The lines must be fully stretched out and parallel laying on the ground. The pilot has one of the two lines in each hand with his back to the wind. When the kite (which the assistant is holding) fills with air the pilot may have to step back several steps and the kite just takes off. One person (the pilot) can launch this but this limited space does not permit me to describe how I do it. 2) It is easy to fly after you get the hang of it. I had 3 take-offs and quick crashes. After that I could keep it up for 3 to 10 minutes without difficulty. My 6 year-old 58 pound grandson mastered it after about 6 crashes. My 10 year-old 75 pound grandson crashed it repeatedly and finally gave up and quit in frustration. 3) The kite is very well constructed of rip-stop nylon with braded polyester lines and wrist straps included. When the kite crashes nothing breaks because there are no stays. The kite is pre-assembled with instructions included. I highly recommend this kite. It is a very well constructed parafoil which is priced very low. Great value. I am going to buy a second one so I have a "spare".

This is an excellent kite. I purchased it in advance of our beach camping trip. It comes ready to use with everything you need. It took me a little while to get the hang of flying it, but once I figured it out, I was doing tricks and having fun. From personal experience, I can tell you it is durable. I crashed many times as I learned to fly it and even ended up in the surf when I got too gutsy. I got it back in the air and it flew wonderfully. As others have noted, this kite does do better in stronger winds and yes, the lines connected to the air foil itself can become tangled. Don't let this deter you. They're all connected to the control lines via a very easy slip knot. Just untie the knot, the lines will then quickly untangle, and then redo the slip knot. Also, kids will need help flying this kite, as it can produce a strong pull (I had to help my 7 & 10 year old daughters).

I bought this kite for my 12 year old son as something fun an inexpensive that seemed fairly durable. He has always wanted to fly my dual line stunt kite, but it's more fragile than this appeared to be, so I thought this might be a good intro to dual line kites that is fairly durable. This is not a stunt kite, but I wanted to give him some experience with a dual line kite that was less breakable. For the price, this is a pretty decent product. The bag it comes in is fairly nice, and the handles and line seem alright but maybe could do with a little more length to get this thing into the more steady wind above the surface. I agree with the other reviews that say this is a beach kite. It needs a pretty stiff breeze to keep it up in the air reliably and it doesn't like shifting wind much. The times we've flown it in 10mph wind or less, we have not been really successful. Over 10 seems to be where the fun starts. He can fly it just fine then but we live in an area where there just aren't a lot of big open spaces or beaches. The biggest field we can find still has tall trees within 100 yards or so and this kite struggles in that kind of area unless the wind is pretty strong. I expected this kite to be a little easier to fly than it is. I think this is pretty much because we don't have a lot of access to good, strong, steady breezes. I think the product is pretty good for the price, and it does seem quite durable. Tangling of the lines is not a problem as long as you take the time to secure them to the loop at the bottom when you are done using it.

I've flown similar kites before, some large ones that are used for kite boarding, so knew what to expect. This kite is extremely easy to fly compared to my stunt kite. My pre-teens were able to easily assemble and launch it and fly it successfully and they even had some successful landings. The number of lines in the kite mean you have to pack & unpack neatly. I took the advice of another reviewer and laid the control lines out first which helped matters significantly. At some point for reasons unknown (it may have been shipped that way) the lines from the kite itself came untangled from the loop that attaches to the control line which resulted in a mess of lines; this is because they are simply looped and not tied to the attachment loop. We were able to completely restring the kite in <30minutes using the picture on the pouch and we are careful to check/tighten before and after packing the kite to avoid it happening again. All in all an excellent kite for fantastic value, and we had a great amount of fun with it.

Fun kite for the beach, we had crowds of beach-goers who came to check out the cool tricks! Easy to fly and flies true. I would recommend this for anyone over the age of 9 or 10! Fun for the whole family!

I fly stunt kites quite regularly, and I tried this one because it was cheap and had good reviews. It really isn't an amazing kite, but you're highly unlikely to get anything better for this price. The included lines are quite cheap, and one started to fray after less than an hour of flying. That said, a good set of dyneema or spectra flying lines usually costs more than this whole kite did. This kite does okay in 10mph wind, and gets better as wind gets stronger. It's very easy to fly, though not very responsive or fast for a kite this size. You can control it, but re-launches are tough without a helper. I directly compared flying this kite with flying my HQ Symphony 1.8m on the same day, and without any exaggeration the HQ flies about 10x better. But it also cost over 3x as much, for a slightly smaller kite. This kite is good for kids or as a first stunt kite. If you already fly kites, spend the extra $ for a better one.

Wow. This thing is well worth the money. I’m currently on the Oregon Coast and got this today. The wind was was blowing quite hard and this thing couldn’t have preformed better. I’m 34 and this made me smile and have fun like I was a kid. Once you’re all set up this thing shot up like a rocket ship. Also if you crash a couple pulls on the cords will get it filled back up with air and flying again. I will say however I’m sure I was at the high end if not past the 25mph wind this was rated for and in this wind I would occasionally take steps forward with how hard it was pulling me. To note I weigh close to 400 pounds. My 11 year old flew this but only with me holding on to her but she also had a blast. Super fun, durable (already crashed many times) and very maneuverable.

My first 2 string kite. What a blast, great fun and had me huffin and puffin from the workout of flyin this thing. Got it 3 days ago (free 2 day shipping) from the reviews mentioned by others something about lots of strings and tangled lines. This wasn't a problem for me, I just detached the strings after use and reattached and the lines were fine ready for next flight. Great kite for beginner cause that's what I am. I like being able to steer left and right, figure 8 and such. Would recommend for first timers.

Para pasar un buen rato, al aire libre.

Very easy to fly, launch, to do stunts

Easy to figure out and get into the air after watching a couple YouTube videos and playing around for half an hour. It's responsive and a great intro to sport kites. The line was a little cheap as another reviewer mentioned and I had mine snap after a few months. It also has quite a strong pull when the wind picks up so keep that in mind if kids are flying it. Overall, a great kite for the price.

You need a good wind to fly, you can steer left and right BUT its not made for aerobatic, and not at all, its good for Child because they can crash all Day long with it
