This wing-shape kite, with its minimalist appearence and light construction, celebrates slow, floaty and consistent glide sequences. Similar to the other kites of the "De tomaso" series, the handling is in general simple and always handy.

The kite loves to perform consistent smooth glides.


The De tomaso honey floats slowly and performs, with the specific setup, stable glides. Agreable feedback in the hand, long airtimes, a lot of time to prepare the next move. With its extended glide sequences, the kite takes more space than the agile superleggera.

The kite feels comfortable in various situations. In smooth breezes high up in the sky, static and stable like a classic single line kite or in no wind on a short or long line, agile and steerable.

Also available as Hyperlight Edition in Dyneema Composite.


Choose your flying line for this kite: a short Zero.5 or Zero.6 on Microwinder in the Tube for urban zero wind flights. Plus a long Zero.5 or Zero.4 on reel for high flights in some mellow wind too. For semi-static flights in stronger wind, you would rather consider the De tomaso volante.


Shipping is very cost effective, if you order just one or two short lines with the kite. Because the Tube™ is only half the length of the wing span.
