Didak Beach Fairy kite - single-line, 163 x 91 cm

Description

A kite shaped like a fairy. Red hair under a yellow crown, a pink dress down to the ground and two broad wings in green and turquoise with pale ovals in them. Spread out, the whole thing measures 163 by 91 cm, so it is a striking sight on the ground already.

It is a single-liner: a kite that hangs from one line. You launch it, let out line and feel through that single thread what the wind is doing. That is the unhurried kind of flying you do on the beach and in open fields, without the two-handed steering of a stunt kite.

Didak Beach is the kite range from the Belgian kite maker Didak, which also brings out swallows, seagulls and windsocks under the same name. This fairy belongs to the figure kites in that range.

A gift for a child who likes heading to the coast and wants something in the air that stays recognisable from far off - and a rewarding present from grandparents looking for something that works outdoors.
