The 40' Ribbon Tail is a classic kite accessory designed to add flowing motion and vibrant color to any flight. With its long, lightweight streamers, it creates smooth, wave-like movement that enhances the visual presence of both single-line and dual-line kites. The extended 40-foot length provides plenty of motion without overwhelming the kite, making it an ideal balance of elegance and impact. Available in a range of bright colors, this ribbon tail lets you customize your kite’s look to match your style or the conditions. It’s a simple upgrade that delivers immediate visual payoff in the sky.

Flowing Ribbon Tail Design

Unlike tube tails, the ribbon tail uses multiple flat streamers that flutter independently in the wind. This creates lively, responsive motion that reacts instantly to gusts and direction changes. The individual ribbons spread out behind the kite, forming a wide, colorful trail that’s easy to see from a distance. The lightweight design adds minimal drag, allowing the kite to maintain smooth, stable flight. This makes the ribbon tail especially well-suited for lighter wind conditions or smaller kites.

Durable Construction and Secure Attachment

The 40' Ribbon Tail is made from lightweight, durable fabric designed for repeated outdoor use. Reinforced stitching at the attachment point helps prevent tearing and extends the life of the tail. A swivel clip allows for fast, secure attachment to nearly any kite, whether clipped to the spine, tail loop, or flying line. The swivel helps reduce twisting, keeping the ribbons flowing freely behind the kite. This simple attachment system makes setup quick and hassle-free.

Versatile Color Options

Available in blue, yellow, red, orange, purple, and green, the ribbon tail offers plenty of options to complement or contrast your kite. Bright colors enhance visibility in the sky, making the kite easier to track during flight. Multiple ribbon tails can be attached at once to create layered color effects or longer flowing displays. The variety of colors makes this tail a great choice for festivals, group flying, or creative kite setups. Its versatility allows flyers to experiment and customize their look with ease.

Storage and Care

The ribbon tail packs down easily and takes up very little space, making it convenient to carry in a kite bag or pouch. After flying, allow the ribbons to dry completely before storing to preserve fabric quality. Light cleaning with fresh water is recommended after beach use to remove salt or sand. Avoid tight knots when packing to keep the ribbons smooth and untangled. With basic care, the 40' Ribbon Tail will remain a colorful and reliable addition to your kite gear for many seasons.
