1978-1978
Description: The "Sky Surfer" is a hang glider (kite) for an Adventure Series figure. The hang glider has a 5-foot cloth wingspan that attached to a black snap together frame. The glider has a long cord which is used to 'launch' the glider into flight. The hang glider has a hanging harness for the accessory Adventure Series figure.

This short-lived playset was recalled from the market almost immediately since the kite does not fly very well.
