Prism Kite Technology Tantrum 250 Dual-line Parafoil Kite with Control Bar

Excellent product; easy to learn and fly and good quality. Fun flying it.

This kite was our first dual-line parafoil that we purchased. _Expectations: The tantrum 250 was chosen based on the experience of flying a friend's Prism Synapse as well as the solid positive reviews that we read through. _The Product: The kite, complete with low-stretch Dyneema lines was a really well designed product. I did not find anything that fell short of the description and in addition to that, I was particularly pleased with the bridle lines which resisted tangling and the overall construction which really gave me confidence in the claim of the ability to survive hard landings. Finally, when rolled up into it's bag it makes for a surprisingly tight package that's easy to find a storage place for (on a shelf, in the rafters, hung up with the coats, etc.) -Flight: It's an arm-stretcher - even in a moderate breeze. The control bar makes it easier to work with under stronger winds. We also switched the control bar out (easily) with some home-made wrist straps for lighter breezes. As it says in the description, the 250 is a big kite with real pull, but not as quick and snappy as a stunt kite. We had a number of hard landings on grass as we were getting to know it, but each time recovered easily without damage or tangling. (I did buy some patching tape just in case.) Over all, it's a really, really fun kite and a reminder that in a contest with the wind - the wind can easily win. - The Company: I think in any case I'd give this kite a solid 5 stars. It exceeded my expectations. But what I also want to acknowledge is an exceptional customer service experience I had with the people at Prism. Not only were they outstandingly helpful and positive, but I also experienced the enthusiasm and passion they have around what they do. That can be as important as the quality of the product itself.

Brilliant kite. Soo much fun. Easy to fly in light winds, but be careful in moderate to strong winds as can easily pull you down !. I fly with the seperate prism 75 foot tube tail and get so many positive comments from passers by. Easy to unpack and pack away. This kite comes with the extra strong lines that do not stretch and is very easy to control with the bar. I spent a long time researching different brands but very pleased I purchased this one.

You may need a 2nd person to get it to take off sometimes, and once it gets wet, or with sand inside it can be tricky to get clean and back in the air again! Even on days when it seems like there's enough wind there often isn't enough so bear that in mind! The angle of the wind is also important! You really need a big open area, but when it's going it is a lot of fun!

Difícil de controlar e não voa nem com vento e com muito vento não é controlável.

Genial y divertido 😆 fácil de manejar, ojo 👁 no es un juguete para un niño pues la fuerza ejercida por el tirón del viento en algunas ocasiones es fuerte
