In the Breeze 48-inch Stunt Kite, Dual Line, Framed Kites for Beginner to Intermediate Sport Kite Flyers

This is a great beginner/intermediate stunt kite! I'd never flown a stunt kite before, and I picked this up before heading to the shore for a week-long vacation. Make sure you watch some tutorial videos online (as I did) because the documentation that comes with the kite is minimal. But the kite itself is great! I was doing loops within the first 10 minutes and a pretty decent figure-eight within a half-hour. I flew it four times, for an hour each time, and it held up through a few hard landings (okay, crashes) when I tried to get too fancy. I was able to get it up and going even on days with low wind.If you have some stunt kite experience and you're trying to improve your tricks, I'm sure you know better than to buy a kite like this. But if you are new to the world of stunt kiting and want to give it a try, this kite is totally worth it!

This is a great beginner kite. The key to flying is that you make small adjustments to control your kite, which is difficult to do as a beginner. The wind speed range of 6-20mph is a little generous, I don't think you'll get the kite in the air with anything less than 10mph. This is a good quality, inexpensive kite that can survive being crashed multiple times. In The Breeze is a great company that stands behind their products. I had an issue where one of the "Nocks" came off my kite. I contacted In The Breeze and they sent me 2 replacement nocks immediately. 2-days later, I had my kite back in the air. The 48" is a great size, but now I think it would be fun to try something bigger, so consider that as you look for a kite.

I am big into kiting mostly with PRism and HQ kites plus one Revolution Reflex XX Quad. We bought this to get my son started and wanted a kite wouldn't worry if it gets destroyed learning. It's a good entry kite but the line set that comes with it is inferior for good flying because of the cheap plastic handles, You need wrist loops to fly a dual-line stunt kite! And if you get proper lines for this kite, even cheap ones, you are spending around thirty-six dollars for the kite and new lines. Also, the quality of this kite is according to its price point and that is as expected. For those looking for an entry-level stunt kite I would recommend giving the Premier Kites Lightning stunt kite a try. It comes with proper line set with wrist loops, has far, far better build quality (and you can get spare parts) and it flies quite a bit more precise. These can be had for around thirty-three dollars and are by far the better value and will last much longer

I bought this kite for a weekend camping trip on the beach. Firstly, I'm not a professional and this was only my second time ever flying a stunt kite. Assembly was fast and easy. On the day I decided to fly the kite the wind was at a less than modest 3-6mph. Needless to say it took some patience to get it flying. I crashed it a few times but everything held up nicely. The nose which usually takes the most damage during a crash is made of a knitted polyester, and faired very well to my unwanted nosedives. Once in the air with good wind behind my back the kite handled well and for a "newbie" it was easy to get use to. My only complaint is that the string it comes with frays easily. But I was flying on a beach that had shrubbery so when I crashed it got tangled in them. So avoid getting the strings caught up in anything if you want them to last. Lastly, I found that this kite works well if you have decent wind behind your back, otherwise get a bigger kite...which is what I'll be getting the next time I go to the beach!

Could get it off the ground. I had 2 others try and neither could fly it. I had ask for a refund but the manufacturer or the store that sold it wouldn’t. I would think twice before purchasing from this place.

Been years since flying any stunt kite. Had this one over a week or two and finally had favorable winds.Launched easily, decent handling but a newbie may find it quick and responsive.It failed to launch on receipt awhile back, but too low of winds likely the reason.Had lots of recent flights on an airfoil the Big Buzz, sure this helped on the maiden of this fun kite. This one needs some decent breeze. Find a good value purchase! Fun ahead!Had nice strong Breezes today and flew beautifully.I personally suggest an airfoil like the Buzz or Big Buzz as take more abuse on learning.Again launch will challenge the beginner, as swift respone needed to clear the ground on take off.

I have so much fun with this kite. Some people have a knack for it - others don't. I've been out flying it with a bunch of my friends and some of them took to it, and others just had the darnedest time keeping it in the air - so I'm not sure if the beginner-expert categorization is very helpful. If you are able to pick it up quickly, it's a whole lot of fun - otherwise it can be very frustrating. If you do get this, I would suggest getting the wrist straps that are available as they make it a lot more comfortable and allow for a higher degree of feedback from the kite - which you'll find is important.

This kite is a bit difficult to use. It does not have a tail which makes every movement very quick. Almost took out a few people at the beach just trying to use
