Hengda Kite Soft Octopus Kite Series, Beautiful Kite with Long Colorful Tail for Kids and Adults, Easy to Fly Beach Kites, Excellent Outdoor Games and Activity Toys, Suitable for Beginners.

VERY happy with this purchase. I'll be honest I was a tad bit hesitant about the quality of the product after reading the negative reviews but for $10 I took the chance, but I did also spend a bit more to buy a Prism Bora 2 at the same time to ensure my next kite outing would go well. I received the kite on Wednesday unpacked it and I will admit, the quality of the ripstop nylon isn't the best I've seen but it's a $10 good size kite what do you expect? The Kite came RTF (Ready to Fly) which is always nice, not a super long line but good enough. The instruction are pretty much worthless.. I do agree, but for the most part you don't need much instruction for flying this thing. The only advice I could give some one who is a complete newbie is to ensure the bridle (the string that is pre-tied to the kite) isn't knotted except for one knot at the end keeping all the strings together. My kite came with loose knots in the bridle line I'm assuming to make folding and packing the kite easier at the factory. Reading a number of the bad review I think this may have been something that others didn't do. I took this kite out for it's maiden voyage today (Sunday). We had about 10mph winds and I was in a fairly clear field, a favorite for many, for kite flying in my area. I unpacked the kite , let about about 50ft of line, had my 4 year old hold the kite while I walked the line out... counted to 3, gave it a little tug and straight up it went. It flew wonderfully, looked great, and my boys loved it. Couldn't be more pleased with this purchase. BTW for anyone who has read the bad reviews and may not be that familiar with kite flying, please don't listen to the folks who say "this kite needs some solid structure". These people don't know what they are talking about. The kite is a soft parafoil kite (similar concept to a parachute), these kites get their structure from the wind which essentially inflates the kite and gives it it's shape. In my experience these are some of the most stable, reliable, and easy to fly kites out there.

I bought these to fly with a 5 year old's birthday and we had no problems getting them off the ground and he ran around the park with the string all the way out just having a great time. We flew all 3 at once and they looked fantastic, got comments by passersby about how cool they are. Three kites, different and vivid colors, each with their own bag and one larger bag that holds all three. When it was time to pack up, I just wound the string back onto the handle, folded the sides of the kite into the middle, rolled it up, and stuffed it back into the bag, then put each of the bags into the bigger bag. It would easily fit in a backpack with plenty of room for other supplies for a day in the park. Would totally recommend these. No sticks to break, they just inflate with the breeze.

Good quality and flies Awesome. It was easy to use and easy to set up. The color was vibrant, and the design was really cool.

This kite launched easily and quickly when I flew it on a beach. The bright colors and long tails make it attractive and highly visible. It is a stable flyer without the sudden dips and turns that I've experienced with other kites. Perfect for adults and kids alike. That being said, I flew a traditional, diamond-shaped kite at the same time. It is lighter than the octopus-shaped kite and stayed aloft long whenever the breeze subsided. Nonetheless, I recommend the Hengda kite. The durability of its materials ensure that I will be able to use it time and time again.

This kite was great for what I paid. (I bought the three pack.) There is no assembly required other than tying on the string. Each kite came with its own pouch, which is great to pack them back up in when done flying. There is plenty of string to get it nice and high. I love how it floats in the sky lazily, just like a jellyfish moves. I flew this at Jockey’s Ridge in the Outerbanks with a pretty good wind. It attracted a lot of questions of where I got it and was photographed quite a bit. It will make an excellent umbrella marker this summer at the beach. Because it has no sticks or wires, it won’t hurt anyone if it were to crash down unexpectedly. Great purchase!

I Love this 🪁 and the delivery had came in very fast at my door and I rushed to get it open gently,put it together even tho it wasn't much of a struggle at all to get it untangle a bit but it took some time and patience to do some adjustments to make sure it was stable and I had to say I am impressed with how they made it and especially the bright yellow attachment strings to help hold,balance the kite when you fly it and I got to say this too for those who posted negative reviews about this kite really do need their eyes examined because ain't no way that it is hard to fly a kite. And my advice to you is this when you fly a kite you got to be at an open field or some where there is a lot of open space where mostly air waves come through for you to be able to fly it nice and high at least 12 or 14 mph winds I mean that just common sense yall. But hey you can't really tell the masses of people how to think logic but anyway I am so thankful and extremely happy with the success of this product and I can't wait to go outside and enjoy my day flying this baby and to all my true kite flyer's y'all stay Blessed and please be safe out and keep your praying hands together as always to the Most High God Peace and Love 100!!!

Kite itself is 5 stars. EASY to fly...no running required. Kite is big and the red shows up well in the sky. Unfortunately the string was not properly wound on the holder and we had to cut it loose and totally unwind it then rewind it. Inconvenient at best on a windy beach. Next time we use it, it should be great. Had so much trouble using this one, that we never unpackaged the second one and just returned it.

Used this kite at the Columbia icefields the squid did look like an alien

Got it for my grandson in Australia, he was thrilled

Super beau cerf-volant facile à faire voler et rien à assembler juste à attacher la corde et hop ! Des heures de plaisir...

Great kite, flys very easily, very impressed!

Super easy to fly this kite in lighter winds. You don't have to run around a field to keep it in the air. Looks awesome too. Toddler loved it.
