If you have some inner, unfulfilled need to impress a crowd, the Prism Nexus 5-Stack Kite is the big show in a small package that's guaranteed to dominate the beach. Of course, in a breeze you'll be leaving mile-long tracks in the sand so they'll be hard-pressed to get your autograph, but life could be a lot worse. Pre-assembled, ready to rock, complete with matching tails, comes in a cool zippered case that lets you keep the kites fully assembled for quick setup and take-down. Adrenaline-filled real-kite performance, small enough to pack in a suitcase.

If you're looking for a beginner to intermediate kite that can do it all, the Prism Tensor 4.2 Kite is your ticket to fun on land or water. This kite flies easily in a 2 mph wind, will pull you from about 8 mph, and really cranks with 12 mph or more. The Tensor helps teach you power kiting with a dual-line control bar, safety leash and quick release. When you're ready for more control, the convertible bar system transforms into quad-line handles, giving you the maneuverability you'll need for buggying, snow kiting and landboarding. Safety comes first so Prism has designed this kite with multiple safety systems that let you kill all power on the kite instantly just by letting go of the bar or handles. Built to paraglider standards, the silicone coated nylon wings are easy to maintain and keep your kite sand and snag-free. All lines are color-coded, precision-measured, pre-attached and ready to go right out of the included backpack/duffel bag.

The smallest of three sizes, the Prism Tensor 3.1 is a versatile power kite for land-based kite traction sports and all-around fun.

Once you start to develop power from about 12 mph and really pull hard in 18+, perfect for windier locations and learning the basics safely. Engineered to be more than just a trainer, the Tensor package makes it simple and safe to get into power kiting with a dual-line control bar, safety leash and quick release, all set up and ready to fly.

In light winds pull out the Prism Zephyr and appreciate the finesse of light wind flying and the subtler finger and wrist control that you´ll develop after you master the basics. Learn to gracefully stall, slide, and control this durable stunt kite designed for lighter, sweeter winds. Highly maneuverable in all attitudes, the Zephyr features no-snag leading edge pockets and yo-yo stoppers so the wing rolls around itself easily for all the latest aerobatic moves. A seventeen gram removable spine allows you to change the balance point for different winds and flying styles. The Prism Zephyr package includes one 100' x 90# Spectra lineset and a nicely detailed, embroidered travel bag.

The long-awaited successor to the beloved E2, the new Prism E3 Kite continues the tradition as the ultimate package for pilots ready to take the next step into freestyle tricks. While retaining the forgiving yet responsive feel of the E2, we've redesigned its wing geometry with a new profile and higher aspect ratio to add precision and tracking while also bringing it up to date for all the latest yo-yo and roll-up maneuvers. The added stability gives it a great feel for just carving up the sky, even if you're not yet a trick master. Complete with yo-yo stoppers and an adjustable 10g spine weight, you can set it up with exactly the balance you like for your flying style, and tweak it for a more radical edge as you improve. While keeping the classic look of the E2, the E3's jazzed-up graphics, cutting-edge performance and nicely detailed bag make it a must-have for existing E2 pilots as well as anyone ready to discover the world of freestyle.

The Prism Hypnotist is a great introduction to freestyle tricks as well as a durable all-around wing for everyday fun. Prism combined the wing geometry of the Quantum Pro with the bulletproof frame design of the Quantum to create a performance hybrid with the balance of a competition kite but the durability to handle all the abuse you can dish out while you learn. The full-sized, 8-foot wing span makes it precise and forgiving, while its higher aspect ratio gives greater pitch sensitivity to handle the latest freestyle moves with ease. Specially engineered leading edge connectors match the flex of the wing so you don't over-stress your frame. Shock absorber system protects the spine in those over-zealous power dives. Hand-wrapped, tapered graphite lower spreaders boost acceleration and add a high-end feel in the corners. Step up to the Hypnotist if you've already learned the basics on a beginner model. Or if you're a quick learner, make it your first kite knowing you'll log many hours of fun before you need to upgrade.

The Prism Roll-up Bag wraps up neatly like a burrito and provides a nice clean surface at the field where you can work on your kites without losing parts in the sand or grass. Mesh pocket ends drain sand. Zippered, detachable waist pack holds your keys and personal items while you fly. Organizes ten kites, spare parts and line-sets in separate pockets, and if you need to travel with your whole collection it can easily roll up with an additional ten kites. For travel, it folds neatly at half length to fit it in an overhead compartment. Nicely padded and contoured shoulder strap will not slip as you run for cover in a rain shower.

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.

If you are sure that kiting is for you and you want to learn on the best possible kite, the Prism Quantum is tailor-made for you. The Spectra line is the best in the business and the full carbon frame will be very forgiving in a crash. The seven foot wingspan will pull against you hard in heavy winds to give you a rush, but the Quantum is light enough to be handled in a light breeze. The impressive range of winds this kite can fly in make it a great kite for first time flyers and also means this is a kite you'll never outgrow.

Fly a kite anywhere and anytime with the Prism 4D Kite. The 58" wingspan makes flying in tight quarters with ease and at barely 2.5 ounces; its super-light weight gives it the buoyancy to stay aloft in swirling breezes and even indoors. The 4-D's predecessor, the 3-D, set the world endurance record for indoor flying, and the 4-D improves upon it with more pull and stability as well as a much wider wind range that's truly impressive for such a lightweight kite. The 4-D's high-modulus frame is made from solid carbon rather than delicate tubes, super-stiff but tough enough to bend in a circle without breaking. Light and ready for flying indoors by simply walking backwards, but the Prism 4D Kite is also durable enough to be flown in 15 mph winds.

The handy Prism Speed Bag is for those days when you're short on time. Need a quick flight on your way home from work? Leave behind the big bag, grab the Speed Bag with just what you need to hold your three or four favorite kites, a few linesets, some spare parts. Folds easily to fit in an overhead compartment. Zippered pocket keeps small parts safe.
