Love my Skydog, it's the smoothest tracking kite I own but I wanted to make an observation regarding the video. When the pilot pulls left, the kite doesn't go left, it SPINS left and spins right when the pilot pulls right. This seems like a very subtle distinction but I have found it is a distinction that needs to be made when teaching people how to fly. I've seen a lot of new pilots fly into the ground because they don't realize the kite keeps turn as long as they keep pulling to one side.

I have found the SkyDog lineup to be some of the best flying kites out there. I have flown every one of them and they truly are a joy. As a retailer, I even stopped selling other manufacturers entry level lineup kites as they either didn't fly right or needed way too much wind to fly properly.
Skydogs intermediate lineup are very nice as well.
Important that the Kite Manufacturing Community reaches out to beginners with easy to fly, durable, light, and affordable kites. This time of year it's our duty as Kiters to recruit new ones. It helps if they don't end up with the wrong kite, rotten lines, or stupid winders. These look good but I'll have to try them.
