Red Octopus Kite
What better way to spend a warm, breezy day than out flying a kite? This stable, easy-flying kite is 10 feet long! The colorful tentacles on this octopus are sure to be a hit with kids of all ages. A flexible fiberglass frame stands up to crashes better than wood, and the sail is made from sturdy ripstop nylon for a kite you'll enjoy year after year.
Flying tips:
Find an open spot without trees or buildings nearby. These can make the wind turbulent and the kite unstable.
If you're having trouble launching, have someone take the kite and walk it far downwind (so the wind is blowing on your back as you face the kite) while you let out the line. When you pull the line, the kite should rise quickly into more stable air than is near the ground.
To increase the life of your line, don't wind the kite in directly from the sky. This stores the line under tension and weakens it. Instead, wind it in as someone else pulls the kite down so the line isn't wound super tight.
Double check that you have all your rods before leaving the flying area.
