Product Description
Taking a vacation, or wishing you could? The Nexus is a favorite choice for travel, especially if you’re new to sport kiting. Small enough to pack in a suitcase, big enough for real-kite performance, it’s the perfect package to get you hooked with real equipment that’ll take a beating and perform whenever you feel the urge to fly. The Nexus is quick and agile but forgiving enough for first-time pilots. It will fly in lower winds than typical beginner kites, a big pl… More >>
The Kite appeared to be well made, however, when I first assembled it to fly I found that the bridle and lines were all different lengths, the lines were at least 1 foot different (making the wrist straps useless), and the bridle lines were also different lengths making it impossible to fly. Don’t waste your money.

I ordered this kite from Amazon and had it shipped to a family member that I was visiting in Florida. I used to own a stunt kite 10+ years ago when I lived in southern California and I thought it would be fun to do with my kids. The order shipped without any problems. The kite is great. Simple to put together, simple to get up in the air and simple to take apart and store in the convenient carry bag.
I have two 13 year olds and a 10 year old and all three loved flying it. Even the 10 year old got the hang of it within seconds. Don’t get the wrong idea though, this is fun for adults too. Just try to make sure you have enough area around you and away from others. These kites can take a nose dive and really injure someone if they are in the way.

Prism Nexus Stunt Kite (Blue) looks great and flys great. As a novice kite stunt flyer, I found this was a great looking kite to have for a great day of fun. I fly at the Berkeley, CA Marina where there are dozens of other stunt kite flyers. Among them all, the tourist and people always stop and watch my kite (and other prisms) fly in the air. To me that’s fun at first, but can get annoying cause now you want to/force to put on a show.
It flys around like its going to attack someone or another kite. The roar of the wind beneath its material is hardpounding and thrilling. I highly recommend this one as a starter. It’s a good size, about the length of your arms out stretched.
Also easy to assemble and disassemble, and has a fancy looking carrying case.

I ordered this kite not really knowing what I was going to get but it turned out to be perfect. The kite came in a very small bag which surprised me, I thought it would be much bigger but then when I put it together it was a nice big 5 foot kite. The small size when folded is great for tossing in the car for trips. I tested the kite out on a really windy day and it cut thru the air like a rocket and held up nicely. I let my 7 year old hold it and it almost picked her up off the ground. The connectors and stays are all pro style so they will hold up when the kit slams to the ground. I think I might get another one for when friends come over.

I actually exchanged this kite with the 5′ wingspan in favor of the Quantum. (7′ wingspan) When I received the Nexus, I realized it was smaller than I had pictured it to be…for my personal taste. I also read up a little more about the Quantum and figured for the extra $20.00, The Quantum was actually Prism’s best choice for beginner/intermediate and worth the extra investment. The Quantum looks much grander, has adjustments as you get better, and has a reinforced kevlar nose for hard crashes. However, I am still giving this kite 5 stars as it’s from Prism and I am sure it flies just as awesome as the Quantum! I love it! You would be happy with either kite.
