Great Starter KiteI got this kite for my 10 year old son for him to try out kiting. The shipping only took 3 days. And was packed well. I love the carry bag that comes with it. Attached to it is a little carabiner. The guide is very informative and handy. The tail hook is located at the back side. The only downside of this kite is the back. It is just plain white with a safety label. This kite has equalizer straps which means you can adjust the lines to be equal. So far this is a great starter kite for my son. I would recommend this for beginners at kiting. 5Strings Tangle NightmareRead the reviews - everything said it was easy to use for a first timer and was convenient for anyone looking to get into kite flying. Even read reviews with kids using this.I'm no genius but I participate in martial arts, extreme sports, run my own business and consider myself capable of handling most things I set my mind to.That didn't matter with this kite because unfortunately whoever put it together sent it to us already tangled up. The blue and red lines were crossed into eachother where it connected to the kite.This made it impossible to fly. As it would go up and then instantly turn hard one direction and crash down.Once we got that part untangled and spooled all the string out we quickly learned that was a huge mistake.The string they chose may be capable of handling the stress but it is absolutely the worst possible string to use.If the string runs up against itself it curves and knots instantly. Any friction and you've got knots. It quickly turns to a mess that takes hours to get undone.I've spent the majority of the time I had today on the first day using the kite untangling a mess of knots in one of the two lines.You may read this and think - well don't let it tangle. Know how to handle lines. Well let me put it this way - I Spearfish and let line out attached to a fish underwater with gear and a fish swimming hard for its life and I've had less problems than I had with this like today.Whoever owns this company should consider upgrading to something braided. 1High quality, durable, and FUN!This is a great kite. A+1. PRISM - This is our second Prism kite. They offer high quality manufacturing at a fair price. I am very happy with both.2. DURABLE - If you want to learn how to fly a two handed kite, the parafoil is the way to go. I taught both myself and my son with this kite. We crashed it. Hard. About 50 times. No problem. We just got it a little sandy at the beach.3. FUN - Most importantly, it is so much fun! In a stiff breeze, you will feel the pull, but it is still OK for my 10 year old son without pulling him down the beach.Enjoy! 5Sadly I realized I'm just not a kite person.To be honest I have never been able to keep a kite in the air. I live in Oregon and go to the coast multiple times per year. Bought this kite hoping I could finally fly a kite. The day I tried using it the winds were up to 20 mph but apparently not consistent so the kite would not stay up very long. I guess the plus side is who wants to be at the beach with constant wind. I gave it 4 stars because I feel like it was mainly operator error and seemed to be good quality. Deducted 1 star because instead of impressing everyone with my savvy kite skills I looked like an idiot running around with the kite bouncing off the ground. Seems like a great deal since nearly identical kites sell for 3x at the kite shops. Sadly I realized I'm just not a kite person. 4Much better than trick kites with "sticks" and great for age 7 to 97This is great for kids but also adults. Kids won't get "air" but they will have to lean back against the pull. Even in a light breeze it launches itself (with a little help at first), is easy to learn, and only crashes when practicing tricks. Crashing does it no harm at all. You'll need to help a child re-launch the kite until they learn how to let it launch itself, which comes with a day's experience. These are much easier to launch than the traditional one-string kites... no running involved, ever.For anyone new to these, tangles are the worst part of dual-line kites. To save HOURS of untangling bird's nests I recommend an inexpensive electric chord reel like the Bayco KW-110 Cord Storage Reel with Center Spin Handle here on Amazon (this is not one of those kite-reels for single-string kites). You may not know it yet but re-winding for storage with the winder-grip that comes with these kites requires a special technique to avoid twisting each line and tangling both together. This reel will avoid most of that AND will hold the kite too in one bundle. Hopefully, you'll learn your lesson after one bird's nest and won't repeat it.You'll have a lot of fun with this too but you'll have to wait a while for a turn! 5Durable, but gotta have a tail...If there's enough wind - I'd suggest a tail. The kite is a bit too quick to really appreciate the turning & the tail really make it. This one is a nice match of colors & not too heavy = "chinatera 30m/98.42ft Long Tail Nylon Stunt Kite Surf Sports Outdoor Toy" I found the tube tail by Prisim to slow the kite down a bit too much, but maybe it's because it's the 75` tube tail...Also, the string it comes with is Durable, but a bit heavy - I can see the lines sagging under moderate wind & especially lower wind situations. Although if the string was better, the price would be more... 5Pure fun! From beginner to advanced, these foils are pure fun. So much fun I had to get all three! The bigger the kite, the more it pulls in stronger winds. Fast, maneuverable and easy to fly. I crashed my 140 lots of times while I was learning to fly and this kite just kept bouncing back. The quality is top notch and I find them hard to beat. Let the kids start out with the 140 and they'll be wanting more. 5Stitching pulled out first flight!Kite is great, but seam tore out during my first flight! Wind was 10-15 mph and I have experience flying, so I wasn't being rough on it. I assume it may be a defective unit.I contacted Prism, and within 3 days, they sent me a new kite.I am amazed how agile this kite is and how hard it can pull in high winds considering it isn't that big of a kite. I am 160 lbs, and under strong gusts, will make me take a few steps forward. 5A fun and relaxing way to enjoy a windy dayI ve flown two string delta kites before, and single string parafoil kites. I wanted a stunt kite that would pack up small for our trip to Puerto Rico. After reading reviews on here and goingneirh my gut, I ordered the smallest version of this kite - the cilantro or 140 size kite. It packs up really small - smaller than our single string parafoil. Pure and simple - I love this kite. It flies really well. It does need a good breeze - flying it at the beach was perfect. It s a lot of fun doing spins, figure 8s, dives and cutting a horizontal line just above the ground. It also recovers well - once in a while it would catch a cross breeze and collapse on one side, but it would turn a little, inflate again and fly off. And even if you crash it, if you re at the beach anyhow, just flip it so the bridle is facing up, put some sand along the bottom edge, pick up the handles and give it a strong tug as you step backwards and it will launch right into the air.My only complaint is that the line on one side was considerably longer than the other, causing it to turn right unless I held one handle back a lot. The instructions explain how to adjust the lines though and it s an easy fix. 5I had a blast with this kiteI have had a couple of duel line kites as a kid. They all sucked. They were overly complex to set up or when I did get them up I would end up crashing them breaking the spines or any number of things that broke. I took this kite out many time so. I love that everything is already attached and ready to go right out of the bag. The first was at a park that did not have enough wind to fly. The next was at a beach that had some nice 10-15 mph winds and I actually got it up in the air. I have only flown single line kites without destroying them. You hold the string and the kite goes up. Strait forward if there is enough wind so, before I flew this kite I watched a couple of YouTube videos on how to control and handle a duel line kite. Using what I learned from YouTube so I don t drag it on the ground and wear everything faster then needed. I practiced doing some simple tricks like figure eights and exploring the wind envelope. I crashed it a couple of times but since it does not have any spines nothing happened and I just reset and sent it back up. Once I went a few minutes of not crashing I started doing some spins and dive bombs and again crashed it a few more times. I spent like two hours that first day having fun with my new kite and I loved every moment of it. Flying this kite made me want to get all the sizes of Synapse kites and try some other kites as well. This kite is definitely fun to play with and can t really break if you crash it. I ve been having so much fun I even got there 20 foot tube tail to add some flair to my kite. So if you want something to begin with check this kite out. 5
