WE will be meeting our grandchildren at the beach for thanksgiving ages 18, 10 and 6 will this kite be durable enough to fly on the beach?

I have 3 kites from In the Breeze. All have been easy assembly and durable for crash and relaunch.

We live on 4 acres in the country and we flew it on a pretty windy day. Granted my 3 year old doesn't let out 300 yds of line. We've flown it several times and it's been great for it. Better than those plastic ones. Seems pretty durable for te price.

Most definitely!! I loved the ease & beauty of flying this particular kite... A+++ mb

Yes. I use mine at the beach all the time! Great kite at a great price. Get an additional line spool to fly a lot higher.

I would use the B3 for that. B2 is just too small unless you have a lot of wind there. I've been pulled across the beach by either kite!

I bought this for my 8 yr old granddaughter. I have ridden it on pavement (185#) and it will do ok. Off-road it barely Will move with my weight. It does well under 150#.

We had 3 Grandchildren with us on vacation when we used this. We put at the very least 5 beach chairs, towels a cooler full of drinks and even had one of the kids riding on top. It will hold up to whatever you need to take to the beach!

Absolutely!!! My 6 year old is the envy of the neighborhood... 10 and 12 year olds want to ride it. Shoot I have been on it a few times and I'm 31 :-)Hope this helps!

Hi Granny....our 10 year old grandson did well with it! IMPORTANT NOTE: It should only be flown on a windless day. Just about any breeze is too much for it.

I suspect most 10 year olds will do fine. The frustration will be significant with short flight times. You might get longer flight times by upgrading the battery or going to a single rotor system. I suspect older kids (adults) have a higher tolerance because we think it is "cool".

It is made of recycled materials and is pretty sturdy. I wouldn't hesitate to let my grandson use it in the sand.

My 7 yr old can fly it. But crashes it often. Likely won't last long as a child's you.

The kite can be easily flown by one person. You need winds around 10 mph. I literally just let the string out and the kite goes right up in the air. It looks great and is great for a beginner. It also catches enough air that you can hang some lightweight laundry from it. I bought a spinner that I hang on the string and it works great.

I think so. Bought it for my grandson's 2nd birthday, but his cousin who is 16 months old played with it....the two of them had a blast dumping the sand from the one side into the water side!! Be sure to have extra sand available!

I would say so... my grandson and granddaughter (11 and 13 yr) used it for skateboard, scooters and bikes.Its taken a real beaten and still holds up. They don't take care of things so its baked it the sun and out in the rain!

I have flown this outdoors on calm days. *ANY* wind, however slight will make it hard to fly. Also, it's very easy to fly this up over treetop level and watch it get blown several houses away and stuck in a tree. Ask me how I know.

Yes. It survived a beating from 4 small children on land and in water last summer. You just need a good foot pump to inflate it. Or good lungs. Hope this helps.

It flies 35 MPH so that's about all it can handle as far as a wind gust. I have flown mine at the beach several times without losing control. As you should know, the beach gets windy.

I would say yes! My 4 year old rides it, so a 6 year old could handle it very well.

We are on the Texas coast and its almost always windy here. Our shade sail is working just fine for us. We use it at our daycare playground and I'm very satisfied.
