I've got no problem with tails. I fly sport kites too and noone ever gets the fact that you are trying to trick and stall the kite. So when I'm on vaca I always fly with 100' tails and do loops and figures. That gets more attention than any trick flying I do.

Nice video. Thanks for sharing. Looks like a giant mant ray.

I carry several 60' tails in my kite bag for occasions when I feel like putting a tail on.

The only issue I have is it makes the kite act like it has a lot more break tension than normal.

I sometimes fly with 2 50' tails on the tips of my Blade III 10.5 meter while kite ATB riding.

Tails look great.
