Review of 2.1m symphony beach.
Size matters:
The kite has a recommended 4-31 mph usage. Check the BBC weather site for wind speed. You do not want to use this kite above or even close to the higher end.
This is suppose to be a beginner kite but I would recommend anyone under 10 stone to save money and get the 1.7m version (my brother owns one).
16-20 mph is fast enough to pull me along and i'm 12 stone. My partner weighs 9 stone and struggles to keep her feet on the ground. If the wind was any faster it would be too much for me to handle.
Setup:
The kite comes assembled, all you need to do is loop a black and a red noose over 2 knots, unwind all of the string and unleash mayhem.
Be careful:
I would recommend wearing long sleeve tops or long gloves covering wrists. I ended up with rub marks (chinese burns) over my wrists as the pull is phenominal.
When switching over from one user to another ensure the kite is not going to take off.
I walked away from the deflated sail end to have the sail re-inflate. The string slashed across my face like a cheese wire. This can be very dangerous. I was lucky to only have a red mark across my face for a week or so, it could have been alot more serious. (I looked like scar face for days!)
Fly away from other people. If you were to crash this kite at full speed into someone, they would be injured.
About flying:
It takes 5 minutes to learn basic control, but mistakes are easily made especially when the kite is at full speed, blink and you will crash.
Until basic flying skill is gained, fly side to side, not up and down. If this kite crashes vertically downwards too many times, it is likley to blow the stitching in the sail pockets like a large ballon popping.
Overall:
I would recommend this brand of kite to everyone.
Consider the size that you buy. I believe from flying the 1.7 and 2.1m:
1.3m for children over 10
1.7m for young teens/petite women
2.1m for older teens/adults
3m+ for the incredibley strong/heavy or low wind areas.
If you do purchase any kite, find a good hill or really open park. Anywhere near trees/houses makes the wind inconsistent even on windy days.

Durability:

Fun:
I flew loads of traditional stunt kites as a boy back in the 70/80s but haven't flown a kite in 25 years. Now I have a young son I wanted to introduce him (at the tender age of 2!) to stunt kites. Having seen power kites flying I thought I would try one out rather than stick to a conventional kite. Clearly I needed something big, bigger is better!, but I was a little nervous about being dragged away into the sky before I had actually flown it! In high winds you really have to dig in and stand your ground and ten minutes of flying it will exhaust you, albeit with a big grin on your face. Lighter winds are less exhausting and you can pull off some lovely stunts. The kite is still fast, try nose diving it then brushing the ground as you pull up. You can loop the loop endlessly if you give it a pull on the way back up and if you get tired, park it in the sky high up and there is little pull, close to the ground is where you burn the calories. A brilliant kite, you don't even need someone to help you launch it if you know what you are doing, I managed to usually get it back in the air seconds after crashing it. Not suitable for my 2 year old to fly by a long shot, but he loved watching it pull stunts.

Great product, got it as a present for my husband and it was pretty easy to set up and put away. We have both really enjoyed using it and have been out every weekend since we got it! perfect size for beginners and has a great pull (even on my 12 stone husband).
