Line art

Although many modern single line kites will fly well without a tail given the right conditions, adding a tail will often extend the wind range and provide added stability for your kite. As a rule of thumb, for light to moderate breezes, no tail or only a short tail is required For moderate to strong breezes use a long tail. Besides adding stability to your kite, tails come in many styles and sizes and add size and color, helping your kite stand out in the sky.
