Prism Snapshot 1.9 Kite
Smaller than the foils youd use for buggying or kiteboarding, these wings are the ideal intro to power kiting and dual-line control. Theyre great for learning the basics because theres nothing to break when you crash. Carefully shaped inlets keep the wing from collapsing in gusty wind, a constant problem with lesser designs, and the elliptical planform minimizes drag for awesome speed and acceleration. Exceptionally fast and hard-pulling, this foil kite will keep you on your toes when the wind picks up. Unlike most parafoils, the Snapshot 1.9 sports a tight, responsive turn response that just feels good carving up the sky. Complete with Spectra lines already attached, flight straps, winder, and tail. Stuffs into a nifty pouch with a carabiner clip to take anywhere on your belt or backpack. Light weight, too. Only 9.6oz for the whole package. SPECS: Skill level: novice – intermediate, Wing span: 76″ (193 cm), Wind range: 4 – 25 mph (6.5 – 40 kmh), Speed: moderate, Pull: medium – strong, Sail: ripstop nylon, Flying lines: 100′ x 200 lbs Spectra. Featuring a tight turn response, this power sport kite is moderately fast and medium/strong-pulling in the 4-25-mph winds it’s built to explore. It’s great for learning sport-kiting basics because there’s nothing to break in a crash. Shaped inlets keep the wing from collapsing in gusty wind, and the elliptical planform with new airfoil profile minimizes drag for speed and acceleration. Complete with two 100-foot Spectra lines already attached, flight straps, winder, and tail, the ripstop-nylon kite stuffs into a pouch (included) with a carabiner clip for belt or backpack.

About Prism
An avid windsurfer, pilot and competitive sailor, Mark Reed, now president of Prism Designs, discovered two-line sport kiting in the late 1990s, when he was in college and sport kites were, at best, primitive. In 1991, his hobby became a business in a tiny house in Seattle. From that modest beginning, Prism has grown into a worldwide business, introducing and explaining the sport as it grew. Today, Prism manufactures in Seattle and Asia and carries two lines of kites, with models for first-time flyers up to world-ranked competition pilots.
