Kites Discount

Years ago I bought same kite at the museum store of Air and Space Museum in DC. However this one is fraction of the price and perfoms similarly. I especially love the fact that this design folds into a small size. Stays with me in my car all the time. you never know when you'll need a little fun :)

My family loves this kite. We have gifted it to family and friends, and have bought a second one for ourselves. It is incredibly easy to get up as long as there is wind. If I can fly it anyone can. I'm the Charlie Brown of kite flying.

I have one of these in our cars in case we're out and there's a nice breeze. Easy to store! Good to have one or two on hand for the last minute gift when the kids get invited to birthday party's as it fits for both girls and boys.

After having tried a multitude of kites already, some which I've reviewed and some which I haven't, I ended up on this particular kite after many wasted hours struggling to get continuous flight from kites in a more expensive bracket. After opening the package and removing two rubber bands from the folded up streamer tail, I had this high in the air in less than thirty seconds. I was shocked at just how easy and simple this kite was to get going. The kite also looks good in the air and as seeing kites in the air is more of an anomaly these days, several cars passing by all stopped to watch this thing whip around beautifully in the air. The joy of flying a kite never ceases to amaze me and is a lot like meditation. If it's been awhile since you've flown one, I highly recommend this product. The quality of the kite is sturdy, but I do recommend buying a 500 ft spool and maybe even a winder as the 120 feet of line that comes with it leaves you wanting to get it even higher. But 120 feet is enough for first time flyers. ... ...

I like this kite and it's easy to use and to store. However, I was very disappointed that it did not come with the nylon carry case as described. My main purpose for buying this kite was to have one to keep in the car.. so the case was a real selling feature. I had to buy another bag to keep it in.

Worked great. Side by side the ease of flying and stability crushed the performance of a typical cheap plastic diamond kite. The long tails take a while to pack up when done, but otherwise very quick and easy to deploy and repack.

This kite is sooo easy to get in the air and fly. Its fun and I would recommend it because there are no sticks to break! Really pretty in the sky too.

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST KITES I HAVE EVER FLOWN.ILL WILL BUY MORE IF AND WHEN THIS ONE BREAKS DOWN, WHICH WILL BE IN A VERY LONG TIME. IT'S SO DURABLE!!!

Worst kite I have ever used. Starts to go up nice and easy and just when at the perfect height plummets to the ground and crashes. Tryed another thinking it was a bad kite.... nope jumk. We had the dollar store kites up in no time and this piece of trash just spiraled to the ground. Both of them acted the same. We also bought the rec baron style and it worked perfectly to. This kite is for the worms as it does not even reach where the birds fly.

Bought two of these kites (plus two additional 500 ft. spools of string) for my boys to take to the beach on spring break. There's nothing to put together so we just pulled them out of the packages and within seconds the kites were up in the air. So easy to fly! When finished, the kites simply fold up nice and compact so we can store them in a large ziplock bag and keep them in the minivan for impromptu kite flying on windy days. Great purchase!

The kite is a breeze to take out of the package and quickly begin to play. The material is resilient and attractive to boot. The storage bag it comes with is a great idea as well. The only problem I see with the kite is the line that comes with the kite is too short and the spool is difficult to use. I would recommend purchasing a different spool--preferably one which is up to 500 feet. Overall, the kite is great fun!

I bought this kite to fly on the beach, and I couldn't be happier with it. Prism is one of the best kite manufacturers in the world in my opinion, and it's the only brand of kite that I fly. This was my first experience with a speed foil kite, but after a few minutes of practice, I was performing loops and skimming the ground with this kite. I like it so much because it is extremely compact and easily packs into any bag, it is extremely easy to fly, and it looks beautiful in the sky as well. It has a surprisingly strong pull, but it does not pull strong enough to be scary or dangerous, or to drag you down the beach. You can easily pick a spot and stay put though you may find yourself digging your heels in the sand on a windy day. I absolutely recommend this kite to anyone, and after owning this kite, I already bought a snapshot 2.5. I also own an EO6 which I would also recommend for smaller kids. You can't go wrong with this kite, or this price on Amazon! : )

The pull is not too strong, yet it is comfortably fun, which additionally gave my wife confidence enough to try it (she got it up in the air at her first attempt!). The kite is very portable, with a nice pouch you can carry anywhere (eg: your day backpack). It is also pretty indestructible: I played around for about 2 hs and probably crashed it straight on the sand about 4 times, and upon inspection, no signs of wear, damage or alike were visible. As one of the reviewers commented, my kite also had one string a few inches shorter, but not bothersome enough to go through the hassle of returning the product. Flying it was easy and comfortable. Also starting it from the ground after crashing it required no outside help: just a few tugs and it was up again. Landing it was real easy: I found you can just glide parallel to the ground towards the sides, where the sail loses lift (lines almost perpendicular to wind) and was able to hover 6 ft above ground til my wife cought, hence preventing even more sand on the kite and lines (which is not adviseable!). Unspooling the lines I did not find was any trouble, as I just held the spool with my finger from a little hole it comes with, and walked back while the lines unfolded almost automatically. Winding the line up again did not take as long as expected. I would highly recommend this product. Once I manage to tame it, I will probably move up to a 1.9 or 2.5.

I also have the snapshot 2.5, which kinda makes this little guy seem tame... it is fast, tag says it can reach 50mph and i don' t doubt it tight turns, fast acceleration, and steady flight even in gusts can be expected would make great intro to dual line control or if you know what you are doing it is a great kite to keep in your car/boat/kayak/etc so a kite is always handy

My wife was having trouble adapting to 2 line kits so I got her a Snapshot 1.2 based on the reviews I read. Those reviews were correct! She had this kite up and flying on her 1st attempt and had no trouble keeping it in the air. I flew it and while it's not as physically challenging as my Prism Quantum, it was just as much fun. Now I want a Snapshot, maybe a 2.5. This kite is very easy to fly and yet VERY fun to fly; even for someone who is more experienced flying stunt kites.

Fun and easy to use. Great kite for the curious kiter getting into power kiting. Do not be disappointed if the first time you go out in low winds and it doesn't have "pick me up" like you see in videos, it will in higher winds.
