Prism Kite Technology Synapse Dual-line Parafoil Kite - an Ideal Entry Level Kite for Kids and Adults to Dual-line Kiting

Responsive, easy to fly and handle. Able to handle crashes. I look forward to a lot more fun with it.

I just moved to a windy place near the beach and was looking for a kite I could fly with my kids. This is great because it won't break if it crashes.This is also so much fun to fly. In about 8 knots of breeze it flies beautifully and is a great introduction to stunt kite flying. Mine's taken a beating so far. The kite and control lines are top-quality and well worth the price.The first day I flew the kite some dogs came running over to see it, and then their owner came running after them. The good news is that the owner was cute and I'd never had met her if I hadn't been flying this kite. The bad news is that I was very much giving off "the guy flying a kite" vibe, which isn't as attractive as you might think. If you're looking to score a date with this kite, look elsewhere.

I can’t overstate how much fun I’ve had with this kite. I’m getting into Kiteboarding so I wanted to get a few trainer kites just to get a feel for the wind, and this Synapse has ended up being one of the best purchases I’ve made. It takes a little while to learn how to fly it, but you’ll get the hang of it quick. It can be a little tough to keep airborne if the wind is light but if you’ve got steady wind, this thing is super fast and you can do insanely aggressive moves. I brought it to the beach a few weeks back and people were fixated on it. The colors are awesome, the build quality is solid, and it fits into a tiny pouch for easy storage. I bought a tail to accompany it which looks cool in the air as well… My buddy took the attached drone video

Never touched a parafoil kite before. I struggled at first, but it wind was very light. Came back to it an hour later when the wind picked it up and it was much easier! Start with calm movements and get fancier as it gets comfortable. Watch out for other people, if it comes down it can down fast and hard. My college kid and I had a blast with the kite.

These are trash, very narrow flight window. Only flys right in front of you or it turns inside out and crashes into a tangled mess of strings

Good quality. Is a little finicky if the wind speed isn’t right. My son loves it though!

These are THE BEST KITES EVER! Seriously. My boys love them. They have taken them out every time it’s windy. They are super easy to fly and really tough. My boys have crashed them into lava rocks and it just flies back up. Can’t recommend them enough!

Been flying a basic one string parafoil kite for years and have really enjoyed the durability, simplicity, and convenience but was starting to want a next level kite. Decided to take a chance and buy the 170mm kite for a trip over to the Oregon coast. FYI, the Oregon coast has great kite conditions. I was a little worried that the new system might be difficult to learn and might waste time that I could use flying my regular parafoil. I was SO wrong. It's not difficult to be up and flying very quickly. Each day got a little better and by the 3rd day as long as the wind didn't die, I had no problems keeping the kite in the air as long as I wanted too. I want to add that this kite is a pretty good upper body workout when you really go for the big wind with it! I will pull you forward and give a good tug so be prepared! Anyway, I am very pleased with the purchase and I'm looking forward to my new era of kite flying!

The Prism Kite Technology Synapse 170 is a fantastic choice for anyone eager to dive into the world of dual-line kiting. It’s easy to launch and surprisingly responsive, giving even first-timers an immediate sense of control and thrill. The build quality is excellent, with durable fabric and sturdy lines that handle strong winds without a hitch. Its portability is a huge bonus - you can pack it into a compact pouch and take it anywhere. The bright colors are not only vibrant but also easy to spot in the sky, which makes it safer and more enjoyable. Overall, it’s an ideal kite for both beginners and seasoned flyers looking to have some fun.

Great beginner kite for my 8yr

Great flying Kite....Packaged professionally with the lines wrapped. Flies amazing. Worth the money, it will pull you pretty good in a strong wind.

My first proper kite, really impressed. In a 15 knot breeze you can have a lot of fun with this kite. I've already decided I want a bigger one. My advice is get the next size up to start with.

Great for the kids! It's easy to fly, doesn't require constant running to get it in the air and it's fun to control.
