VERY happy with this purchase. I'll be honest I was a tad bit hesitant about the quality of the product after reading the negative reviews but for $10 I took the chance, but I did also spend a bit more to buy a Prism Bora 2 at the same time to ensure my next kite outing would go well. I received the kite on Wednesday unpacked it and I will admit, the quality of the ripstop nylon isn't the best I've seen but it's a $10 good size kite what do you expect? The Kite came RTF (Ready to Fly) which is always nice, not a super long line but good enough. The instruction are pretty much worthless.. I do agree, but for the most part you don't need much instruction for flying this thing. The only advice I could give some one who is a complete newbie is to ensure the bridle (the string that is pre-tied to the kite) isn't knotted except for one knot at the end keeping all the strings together. My kite came with loose knots in the bridle line I'm assuming to make folding and packing the kite easier at the factory. Reading a number of the bad review I think this may have been something that others didn't do. I took this kite out for it's maiden voyage today (Sunday). We had about 10mph winds and I was in a fairly clear field, a favorite for many, for kite flying in my area. I unpacked the kite , let about about 50ft of line, had my 4 year old hold the kite while I walked the line out... counted to 3, gave it a little tug and straight up it went. It flew wonderfully, looked great, and my boys loved it. Couldn't be more pleased with this purchase. BTW for anyone who has read the bad reviews and may not be that familiar with kite flying, please don't listen to the folks who say "this kite needs some solid structure". These people don't know what they are talking about. The kite is a soft parafoil kite (similar concept to a parachute), these kites get their structure from the wind which essentially inflates the kite and gives it it's shape. In my experience these are some of the most stable, reliable, and easy to fly kites out there.

Much better than I expected. Super easy to use, the long legs looked fantastic in the wind.

I bought these to fly with a 5 year old's birthday and we had no problems getting them off the ground and he ran around the park with the string all the way out just having a great time. We flew all 3 at once and they looked fantastic, got comments by passersby about how cool they are. Three kites, different and vivid colors, each with their own bag and one larger bag that holds all three. When it was time to pack up, I just wound the string back onto the handle, folded the sides of the kite into the middle, rolled it up, and stuffed it back into the bag, then put each of the bags into the bigger bag. It would easily fit in a backpack with plenty of room for other supplies for a day in the park. Would totally recommend these. No sticks to break, they just inflate with the breeze.

Absolutely beautiful and able to weather the strongest winds. The only trouble I ran into was when the wind dipped and the tentacles and string got entangled. It took me a bit to get it undone.

Easy to set up and easy to fly

We've owned these since 2020. They've been on multiple beach tips and have held up to some of the strongest winds I'd ever imagine them to. Kids enjoy them (im a big kid so I enjoy them too). We purchased some 1000ft reels for them and let them fly high for hours (attatch the reel to the top of our cooler or pop up shade tent)

It's decent for the price, but you might consider a one-off product. Mine flew very well at the beach until I lost my grip and watched in dismay as it flew into the Pacific. Note, there are no cross bars on this kite, it's just fabric and string and that string can get tangled FAST. Be prepared to set aside a good amount of time to untangle it if it falls down. I'll probably get another one.

Took these kites 🪁 on vacation to Gulf Shores. They were perfect on the beach. We even tied them to our chairs while we went to the water, then back again to fly them, and they kept going the whole time. Easy to use and worth the money.

Super beau cerf-volant facile à faire voler et rien à assembler juste à attacher la corde et hop ! Des heures de plaisir...

Got it for my grandson in Australia, he was thrilled

Great kite, flys very easily, very impressed!

Super easy to fly this kite in lighter winds. You don't have to run around a field to keep it in the air. Looks awesome too. Toddler loved it.

Used this kite at the Columbia icefields the squid did look like an alien
