I purchased this kite along with the Octopus with google eyes. I went to the beach yesterday to fly for the first time, sadly the winds were not in my favor, slightly disappointed, but not deterred, I returned the next day, a perfect south westerly wind, the dragon was soaring beautifully, against a beautiful blue sky. I flew the kite for hours and didn’t want to stop. It’s a definite crowd pleaser, a great gift for your kid or the kid in you.
