Review on Amazonas Presentz® Octopus Parafoil Outdoor by Jamal Gignilliat

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It's fun when it's not digging its nose into the ground.

Flies great. Easy to use. My only issue is that as others have pointed out, the ropes you were supposed to tie your main line to came out of the box in a mess and you need to get a little creative when attaching your main line to them. Always use a swivel to attach your main line. The problem I have is that the kite will fly fine and the next thing I know it will fly from side to side for no apparent reason and then keep falling to the ground. All the lines from the kite to the main line appear to be the same length and are all stretched taut, meaning no slack lines on one side and taut on the other. I've flown this kite around people who have flown expensive kites all their lives and even they don't understand why this kite starts swinging from side to side for no apparent reason and then nose dives to the ground. High dollar kites, I would be very upset. Since this kite costs less than $50 or so with 1000ft 200lb test line and a set of heavy duty swivels I just take it for what it is and move on. However, I will never buy a kite from Amazon again. I found a place in California (online) that I was referred to that is very professional and offers quality products at a great price.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Weight
