DaVinci sketched flying machines, gliders, and kites 400 years ago, but it's modern materials that create the strong and incredibly lightweight structures that allow us to escape into the sky. Miles beyond the wood-and-paper kites of your childhood, Prism kites are powered by the same space-age materials that shape fighter jets, race cars, and high-performance sports equipment. Their design team combines a scientist's understanding of aerodynamics and engineering with an artist's sense of design, color, and proportion to produce kites that look as good as they fly, at home or in the wildest landscapes of the world. Speed Foils The Snapshot speed foil series fits aerial thrills in your pocket, your briefcase, or the glove box of your car. Exceptionally fast and hard-pulling for their size, even the small ones will stretch out your arms when the wind picks up. Unlike other parafoils, Snapshots feature agile, responsive cornering that feels like driving a finely tuned sports car as compared to a truck; they just feel good carving up the sky.
Power Kites Power kites are the most extreme tools in our quiver for wind-powered thrills on land. Based on paraglider technology, these all-fabric wings self-inflate as they fly to deliver maximum pull for anyone looking for a rush. With a three-wheeled buggy, skis, snowboard, or just the soles of your shoes our new Tensor series generates enough pull to send you ripping downwind in almost any wind conditions. For people interested in kite-surfing on water, our designs make superb trainers to give you kite-handling skills under manageable conditions. With no assembly required, no frames to break and easy stuff-away storage, our power kites can go anywhere - from beach to back country - and keep you thoroughly entertained for hours.
Stunt Kites NOT the static, one-line kites you played with as a kid, dual-line sport kites are completely maneuverable by pulling one line or the other, to give you finger-tip control at speeds up to 60 mph. These gossamer performance machines combine high-tech materials such as carbon fiber, Spectra, and Mylar laminates with sophisticated wing shaping to provide unmatched fun and challenge. And with models for every application you'll find the perfect recipe of lift, forgiveness, speed and durability for your needs. We even make a stunt kite so light you can fly it indoors in no wind at all! Whether you're off to the beach for a weekend or gunning for a world competition title, Prism stunt kites are coveted worldwide as the gold standard for design, quality and performance.
Single-line Kites Our single line kites are as simple and playful as childhood, with a performance pedigree. We've melded familiar and brand-new silhouettes with high-tech materials to provide you with unmatched, carefree fun. With our single-line kites you can tie the line off to your big toe and enjoy a catatonic afternoon of lounging in the sun, or send them tumbling and cartwheeling through the sky for more aerobatic enjoyment - all for about the cost of two movie tickets. For old and young, our single line kites are about laid-back play and togetherness; a chance to rediscover what's important by sharing a moment in the sky.
