Prism Snapshot 1.4M

This is my first power kite!

The Prism Snapshot 1.4 is by far the best deal around for a quality dual line power kite. No assembly required and is ready to fly. It's responsive and easy to learn.

Good quality and superior design.

I looked high and low, searched amazon.com, google.com, and youtube.com among many others for information and prices.

I bought from http://www.windpowersports.com/kites/prism/snapshot.html for $69+shipping. Vegas to Los Angeles delivery was 2 days!

1st flight: Excited, but with no wind I was airborne running backwards to keep it in flight .

2nd flight: A nice breeze was too tempting even after eating Easter dinner. I was in a narrow street with trees and power lines, but no matter I was determined to fly! After 10 minutes of untangling the lines just from being packed in the pouch, I had a friend help me launch it. Up it went! Wow it was so much fun to see the kite up in the air. I even entertained the family with a few "S" type stunts. I haven't learned how to get the kite down safely so I crashed into a neighbors house and lost a strap to some shingles. But I'm hooked. I will get some traditional plastic handles from the same supplier and use them to rollup the lines separately from now on to avoid tangles. I didn't expect all these tangles, I will enjoy having 2 spools/handles to keep the lines apart while in storage.

This is a quality entry level power kite. I am very pleased.

Regards,

Mike
