I thought it would be fun to get a foil kite to play around with when my family is at the beach. You thought I was weird to kite but let me tell you about a minute later I was flying it on the beach my 8 year old son had to try it! this and literally took the reins and started flying like a pro. Of course, the newcomers hit the ground running. Mostly by me and the kite showed absolutely no damage! As soon as my wife saw how much fun we were having she gave it a try and now I've officially turned them all into these kite flying beach maniacs lol ๐ I immediately upgraded to a bigger 250 kite because too much is never enough! This kite is just plain fun! It's fast and fun. What else would you like to ask? With its ease of use, anyone can be up and running in minutes. You definitely want to have an alignment with the wind, it doesn't have to be a storm, but the heavier it is the more fun you will have and the faster the kite will move. . There is a tail loop but no tail. Using one will slow it down but can make for some nifty designs. I want speed and madness! The colors are eye catching and will draw a crowd if you are in a place where kiting is not common. The price is amazing, the build quality is great, the performance is there, you can't go wrong. 125 or more, it's not going to pull you in or anything, but that's not always the point. Sometimes you just want to have fun and roll eights and zeros
