This is a big and beautiful kite! I have flown it from a boat over a lake, and this kite attracts attention! You'll find that the material is high quality, the bag is a nice touch, and the 9' tail is stunning. The tail has a swivel with a snap and is easy to remove; double duty with your other kites. However, I have to disagree with description: This kite really pulls. I had a kite with 80 lb line and thought I could use it on both, but a single afternoon changed that idea. I subsequently purchase 150 lb line and feel a lot more comfortably now with this kite. (Yes, the description says 110 lb, but I was able to purchase the 150 lb with a plastic hoop for a buck more, a good deal.) Second, this is a heavy kite. My parafoils are feathers in comparison. Thus, this kite requires a strong and steady breeze, certainly better than 5 mph.
