The Infrared Tube Tail is a bold, high-visibility kite accessory designed to deliver maximum impact in the sky. Featuring a fiery gradient of red, orange, and yellow, it creates a vivid visual trail that is easy to spot even at long distances. As air flows through the tail, it inflates naturally, producing smooth, flowing motion that enhances the presence of any kite in flight. The intense color palette adds energy and drama, making it ideal for beach flying, festivals, or open-field sessions. This tail is built for flyers who want strong color contrast and continuous motion.

Inflating Tube Tail Design

Unlike traditional flat ribbon tails, the Infrared Tube Tail inflates in flight to form a rounded, tubular shape. This airflow-driven design creates steady drag and fluid movement, resulting in long, sweeping arcs behind the kite. The inflated form helps stabilize flight while adding a three-dimensional element that stands out against the sky. Bold black striping breaks up the gradient, improving visibility and making the tail’s motion easy to track. The result is a clean, dynamic look that performs as well as it appears.

Durable Construction and Secure Attachment

The Infrared Tube Tail is constructed from lightweight yet durable fabric designed to handle repeated use in varying wind conditions. Reinforced seams help maintain structure as the tail inflates and deflates during flight. A swivel clip allows quick and secure attachment to nearly any kite, whether clipped to the spine, wingtips, or directly onto the flying line. The swivel reduces twisting, keeping the tail aligned and flowing smoothly behind the kite. This secure system makes it easy to add or remove the tail without disrupting your flying session.

Versatile Length Options

The 75-foot version is well suited for medium to full-sized dual-line kites, offering enough length to draw wide loops and flowing figures in the sky. Its added drag slightly slows the kite, helping flyers better track direction and control movement during precision flying. The 20-foot version works perfectly as line decoration for single-line kites or as a compact accent for smaller dual-line kites. Multiple tails can be connected end-to-end to create extended visual trails for larger displays. This versatility makes the Infrared Tube Tail useful for both beginners and experienced flyers.

Storage and Care

Each Infrared Tube Tail includes a drawstring storage pouch that keeps it compact and easy to transport. A Velcro closure at the tip allows trapped air and sand to drain quickly after flying, making cleanup simple. Allow the tail to dry completely before storage to preserve fabric quality and color intensity. Rinsing with fresh water after beach use is recommended to remove salt and debris. With basic care, the Infrared Tube Tail will remain a bold and reliable addition to your kite setup for many seasons.
