Bumble Bee Kite

Description

The Bumble Bee kite is a beautiful whimsical design in a traditional, easy for kids to fly, diamond shape. It looks great in flight. The Bumble Bee’s high quality design and very high quality screen printed sail means it really shows in the sky. Your kids will love this one. Your Bumble Bee kite will fly in a pretty wide wind range from fairly light to fresh winds……this means that there are ‘more days when you can play with it.’

Suitable for children aged 4 to 10, the Bumble Bee kite is very easy to launch, just hold it to the wind or run with it a little in light winds. Children love the way it wiggles and dances from side to side but it hold’s a steady position in the wind. This is exactly what you want a children’s kite to do. 

With a rugged rip stop sailcloth and strong 4mm fiberglass, this is built to last. With these really strong materials, this is a kite your kids can hand down to their kids. If you want to see a Diamond kite flying, check out a quick video of the Unicorn in the sky here.

Kite Type:

Diamonds are Single String kites suited to kids of all ages that fly best in medium winds. All children , even young kids, will find our Diamonds really, really easy to fly. Just hold ’em to the wind and up they will go.

A very traditional design, diamond kites have been around for thousands of years. We’ve updated and modernised them a fair bit with great materials like ripstop nylon sailcloth and strong fiberglass frames but the joy and pleasure for kids flying them is still the same!

Diamond kites need slightly more wind then, say, delta designs but their shape, and the long tails we put on them, make them really stable in the sky as the wind picks up. Is one shape better then the other? No, not really…they are just ‘different’.  Deltas are usually better in light to medium winds while Diamonds are better in medium to fresh winds.

All of our diamond kites are super simple to put together. Just slip 2 sticks (we call them rods or spars) across the back and you’re ready to fly.
