Prism Design Inc. Snapshot 1.9 Kite

The affordable new Prism Snapshot 1.9 Kite fits radical aerial thrills in your pocket, your briefcase, or the glove box of your car. Exceptionally fast and hard-pulling for their size, even the 1.2 will keep you on your toes when the wind picks up. Unlike most parafoils, the Snapshot sports a tight, responsive turn response that feels like driving a finely tuned sports car as compared to a truck; it just feels good carving up the sky. Smaller than the foils you'd use for buggying or kiteboarding, these wings are the ideal intro to power kiting and dual-line control. They're great for learning the basics because there's nothing to break when you crash, but you'll bring yours everywhere once you get the hang of it because they're just so much fun. Carefully shaped inlets keep the wing from collapsing in gusty wind, a constant problem with lesser designs, and the elliptical planform with a new airfoil profile minimizes drag for awesome speed and acceleration. Complete with Spectra lines already attached, flight straps, winder, and tail, the Snapshot will make a wind junkie out of you on your first breezy day.

great kite!
I love this kite for several reasons: - it is very practical to take along as it has no long parts and packs up small, easily fitting into a beach bag! - flies great with fairly little wind - stunts are easy as it flies so steady! - made great friends with it ;-)

Couldn't Be Happier!
Kite came fully prepped and ready to fly (had it in the air within a few minutes). A tad unwieldy in ground-level light wind, but once it hits the twenty (20)-foot level, the soar and pull are amazing! Took a few days to gauge the maneuverability (VERY quick turns!), but that's the fun in learning. BUY IT; you won't be disappointed!

Fantastic fun, Easy to use. Good pull.
Great fun in an open field. Even more so with snow and something slippery strapped under you. Only complaint is now I want a bigger one with more pull. Not at all sorry I got this one though. Great place to start getting to know the breeze.
