Kite Tails

A kite tail is a long strip of material, such as ribbon, fabric, or plastic, attached to the bottom of a kite to provide stability and balance in flight. Tails help prevent the kite from spinning or tumbling by adding drag and keeping it steady in the wind. They can be simple, single streamers or elaborate, decorative designs that enhance the kite’s visual appeal. Some kites require tails for proper flight, while others use them mainly for aesthetic flair. Tails can also be used as line laundry!
