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. Review: Amazing kite! - Much better than I expected. Super easy to use, the long legs looked fantastic in the wind. ## Features - This Is Entirely Software Made Kite, It Takes Only A Minute To Get A New Kite, You Take It Out Of The Bag Without Assembly You Can Easily Start Playing.In The Park, On The Beach, Just Get It Pointed Into The Wind And You'Re Off And Flying. - Give Your Children The Best Large Easy To Fly The Kite - This Is A Full 31 Inches Wide! - Flying The Kite Is Undoubtedly An Entertaining Activity For Both Kids And Adults.

I'm hoping to take it on vacation.** A: It comes in a small bag that is squooshable, about 6"x8". It would be easy to pack. It flies so easily and is a lot of fun! **Q: is there instructions ?also is it just a kite with string attached ?I only have a kite with some kind of string attached-no handle just hold string?** A: This came with the kite shaped like an octopus that had a bridle already attached to the kite body. It also had a handle wrapped in kite line. Just tie and knot the kite line to the kite bridle. I did more than a few knots in case of strong winds. The octopus head is a hollow shell that fills with air and floats. The streamers give it the legs. It's super easy. I had it ready within minutes while the kids waited. No one died of impatience or boredom. Good sign. **Q: What material is this made out of?** A: It's a really light fabric almost like silk. **Q: How long is the string that comes with this kite?** A: Honestly it looked like a smaller handheld thing so not much ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Kite, Great Price, Great Fun *by S***A on May 15, 2017* VERY happy with this purchase.

Super easy to use, the long legs looked fantastic in the wind. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect! Easy to fly, long string, great build, convenient bags, really fun! *by B***N on February 9, 2021* 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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hengda Kite Software Octopus Flyer Kite with Long Colorful Tail for Kids,Long,Large,for Kids and Adults,Easy to Fly - HENGDA KITE-Upgrade Classical Dragon Kite Stereoscopic Dragon Kites for Kids & Adults Easy to Fly for Beginner Easter 55inch x 62inch Single Line with Tail - HONBO Large Delta Kite for Kids & Adults,Extremely Easy to Fly Kite for Beach Trip,String Line Included,with Colorful Tail,Perfect for Beginners --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/19630388-soft-octopus-kite-series-beautiful-kite-with-long-colorful-tail](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/19630388-soft-octopus-kite-series-beautiful-kite-with-long-colorful-tail) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-15*
