The Spectrum Tube Tail is a vibrant, high-energy kite accessory designed to deliver maximum color and motion in the sky. Featuring a full rainbow gradient, it creates a striking visual trail that stands out clearly against any background, from deep blue skies to soft cloud cover. As air moves through the tail, it naturally inflates, forming a smooth, three-dimensional tube that enhances the presence of any kite. The continuous spectrum of color emphasizes motion and flow, making the tail easy to follow even at long distances. This tail is ideal for flyers who want bold color, strong visibility, and effortless visual impact.

Inflating Tube Tail Design

Unlike flat ribbon tails, the Spectrum Tube Tail inflates during flight, giving it a rounded tubular shape that moves smoothly through the air. This airflow-driven design creates consistent drag, producing long, flowing arcs behind the kite. The inflated structure adds depth and volume, transforming the tail into a dynamic, sculptural element in the sky. Bold black striping breaks up the rainbow gradient, helping define motion and making directional changes easy to track. The result is a clean, balanced display that looks impressive in both light and strong wind.

Durable Construction and Secure Attachment

The Spectrum Tube Tail is constructed from lightweight yet durable fabric designed for repeated outdoor use. Reinforced seams maintain strength and shape as the tail inflates and deflates during flight. A built-in swivel clip allows fast, secure attachment to nearly any kite, whether clipped to the spine, wingtips, or directly onto the flying line. The swivel reduces twisting and keeps the tail flowing smoothly behind the kite. This secure attachment system makes setup quick and keeps the tail aligned throughout the flight.

Length Options for Any Kite Setup

The 75-foot Spectrum Tube Tail is ideal for medium to full-sized dual-line kites, providing enough length to draw wide loops and sweeping figures in the sky. Its added drag slightly slows the kite, helping flyers track movement and maintain control during precision flying. The 20-foot version works well 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 large-scale displays. This versatility makes the Spectrum Tube Tail suitable for flyers of all experience levels.

Storage and Care

Each Spectrum Tube Tail includes a convenient drawstring pouch for compact storage and easy transport. A Velcro closure at the tail tip allows trapped air and sand to drain quickly after flying, simplifying cleanup. Allow the tail to dry completely before storing to preserve fabric strength and color vibrancy. Light rinsing with fresh water is recommended after beach use to remove salt or debris. With simple care, the Spectrum Tube Tail will remain bright, durable, and visually stunning for many seasons of flying.
