Jazz Pro by Tail Spin Kites  

I just made a 35' tail for the Jazz.

My first stunt kite, purchased as a gift from my wife.  This is a very rugged beginner kite with a 5' wingspan.  Great kite to introduce sport kite flying to newbies.  This kite is designed to take a beating and come back for more.  I saw this kite hit the ground at top speed (50 mph) then bounce 12 feet into the air only to collapse.  The flyer (my brother in-law) reassembled it and re-launched.  One tough kite. I have owned this kite for 6 years and it has seen many hours of flying, however, no matter how large my kite bag becomes, there will always be room for this one.

In an attempt to get my nephews into sport kite flying, they actually broke the leading edge connectors on this kite.  6 years of rough flying and it finally had its first problem which was repaired in minutes.  I didn't care because the kite now has newer Leading Edge connectors which are a vast improvement over the originally connectors.

Now, I mainly use the Jazz to introduce people to flying.
