The kite needs 3 or 4 mph of wind to fly, but once in flight is easy for the beginner to control - over steer is minimal. The frame is tough enough to take the knocks a beginner will through at it without breaking.
Moving on to the more adventurous stuff the Nitrik offers plenty for the growing flier - axles, half axles, flat spins, flick flacks, and fades or all in there.
In conclusion the Nitrik is a fun kite great for the first time flyer.
