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

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!

This kite is so much fun, it's incredible!! Great color and size and good for beginners to pros. If new to stunt kits, this is a great way place to start. Easy to learn to fly in steady light to moderate windand hours of enjoyment after.

I’ve been flying these style kites for 43 years! This Hoosker-style nook is one of the best kite shapes for juke/jitter maneuvers, double coque-floppin tricks and barrel fatigue rolls. Absolute beast in wind over 45mph. Vivid colors stand out from the other veranda trash. A real value and came with its own stuff sac. More fun than your mom! Buy today!

The good: 1) Fun to fly in stronger winds. In +20mph winds my 8 year old had a blast and even for an adult it was fun to fly. 2) Simple design The bad: 1) The lines close to the kite showed some serious damage after only flying it 2 times. 2) Sand gets in easily inside the outside air pockets. Its a bit of a pain to get it out and the kite simply stops flying when too much sand gets trapped inside. Overall this kite could be a really good starter package and would have promise if the lines would be more durable. I would not recommend it because of the line issue unfortunately. Returning this one - was hoping this would be our family kite for the next decade! :-/

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

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!

Is as advertised and for the price not bad, it can crash without breaking and comes with a nice bag. Lot of fun for the kids. I would choose a bigger size next time though, this one is really fast.

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.

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.

Too many strings,and too complicated to operate

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.
