Review on πŸͺ HQ Kites Symphony Beach Stunt Performance by Jessie Drury

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Material and workmanship are very good. It comes with a nice case

Quality: Materials and construction are very good. It comes with a nice bag. The leashes are made of polyester and are supplied with hand straps in a strong wrap. This brand produces very good quality kites. The smaller size of the kite gives it a narrower range of wind speeds and it doesn't like slow winds. It also has a narrower wind window (for those unfamiliar with the term, this means it has a narrower range of motion on either side of the window, with the center in line with the wind direction). Polyester lines are heavier, thicker and less sensitive than spectral lines (you can't expect spectral lines for this price). You're sagging more than I'd like. Also, I recommend cutting them 2-3 meters shorter as they seem too long for this kite. Overall: I would recommend getting a 1.8 model (or larger, but be aware of the Flyer's body weight). The disadvantages of this kite are not good for a first kite. Being more prone to rollover due to window edges and the need to restart, it can cause frustration among young initiates. Even if this is the only kite you have you will want to launch it at all times and it needs more wind than larger models. I also recommend getting a small (50m minimum) roll of cheap general purpose Spectra with enough breaking strength (100lbs for 1.3) and replacing the lines. This will get the most out of this kite.

Pros
