Prism Kite Technology Zenith 5 Single Line Delta Kite

The media could not be loaded.  Two days ago, when we were shopping at Whole Food's store, my 8 years old son asked me to buy for him Melissa & Doug Skyhawk Sport Kite Children's Kite, which he saw at Whole Food's. The same day we've tried to fly it. It was windy, but nothing worked, even running with it, although we had good 10-15 mph wind gusts on that day. At first we thought that maybe we were doing something wrong, but then we've read the reviews about that kite on Amazon... It turned out that there was a defect in the stringing, i.e. preinstalled strings were improperly attached and needed manual adjustment, for which we didn't have any will or time. So, we've decided to return the kite to Whole Foods store, provided them with printout of reviews from Amazon regarding the defect of Melissa & Doug Skyhawk Sport Kite Children's Kite and suggested that the store should pull the defective kite from their shelves, so other customers wouldn't get confused.Then we’ve searched Amazon for a new kite and based on reviews decided to try this Prism Kite Technology Zenith 5 Single Line Delta Kite. It arrived yesterday, and we've tried it today. It took for my husband a single throw of this kite against the wind and it immediately took off and was flying as high as it could. You should have seen the face of my 8 years old son, when he was flying this kite at 200 ft in the air in the open field at the back of his school. He was so happy!If you are looking for a kite to fly with your kids and family - this is the one you should get! It is well designed and thought through product, and it comes with everything you will need for flying it. The kite is very durable and holds well in strong winds. It looks beautiful in the sky, especially with snap on tails, and very easy to assemble and disassemble. It comes with a pouch for carrying it together with the reel, and in folded state you wouldn't believe that the kite has 60" wingspan. You wouldn't even need to make any knots of the line with the kite itself, because the line comes with an easy to use and secure clip/hook mechanism for connecting and disconnecting it from the kite.If you are looking for a kite, then get this Prism Kite Technology Zenith 5 Single Line Delta Kite, and you won't be disappointed. I promise you.

The Prism Zenith 5 kite is a great looking and very fun kite to have and fly. The first time I flew it I let out all the line and reached 200' with no trouble at all.. It does pull and I recommend it to teens 16 and above and adults. The included nylon line... I recommend wearing a golf glove on your "line guiding hand" to protect it, I bought one for $10. It's a fun kite to fly, very stable in the sky. I highly recommend Prism Kites, this one came mostly assembled, took less than 5 minutes to take out of the included kite bag and assemble. I have previously owned a flew one of Prism's large stunt beach kites which always drug me through the sand !!! Don't waist your time or money on other brands of kites... buy a Prism and enjoy great flying at a reasonable price. DON'T PUT OFF THE GOLF GLOVE FOR YOUR LINE GUIDING HAND. HAVE FUN !!!!

I'm retired and decided one day to buy a kite to entertain my grandson. Havent flown one since I was a kid and now I can't get enough. Staring out windows to see if the leaves are rustling sorta thing. Lol. Started with a green Mints delta which is excellent for the price imo. Since then I bought the Mints blue, Colorful, the US flag deltas, all great flyers for around $16. I also bought 3 pk small octopus foils, a 26' giant octopus(The Krakken), a parrot, and an eagle. Ive been hesitant on spending too much on one kite since we have lots of hazards but I splurged and ordered the Prism 5 anyway. It came professionally packaged and the quality is just plain obvious. It looks high tech and flies like a champ. If I could start over, I would have bought this kite to begin with and called it good. But then again, the Prism 7 is now on my radar. Expect nothing less than peace, smiles, and happiness, unless of course, you lose it. I found that the Mints Colorful Delta was the most stable, inexpensive, user friendly kite if your a beginner and don't want to risk losing money right off the bat. Other than that I'd say go for it!

We have flown this a few times earlier this spring. It's easy to set up and put away. So easy to fly and it looks good up in the air. I wish I have invested in this years ago instead of buying cheap $10 kites for my children each year. Those cheap kites are disappointing. This is so satisfying to fly, and will last for sometime with care.

Decent kite not worth 50 bucks

The Zenith 5 is well-made and a high-flier. I purchased a hoop with 300 feet of line for a little more altitude. With the tails attached, it will stay aloft for very long periods of time. It's a cinch to assemble and break down after flying.I've had it in 25-30 mph winds, and it had some strong pull to it!

Amazing quality, fun to play, challenging on lower wind days which makes it more interesting that it makes you struggle but the higher you go, the easier it gets.

We went through probably half a dozen "kid grade" cheap kites that would get totally shredded at the beach either because they couldn't hold up to the wind or were so unstable they'd crash and burn every minute or two. This one is a huge step up and flies beautifully while also being large enough to be stable and impressive for a kid. Love the colors and quality. Honestly, one of the coolest parts though is the way its packaged - everything folds into a tiny pouch that integrates the ring-shaped line holder at the top. It feels like a ton of thought went into this product and it shows.

I was impressed with quality of this kite, and it flies just as great as it looks.It's very well thought out, easy to prepare for a flight, and easy to store.Works great in strong and not-so-strong winds.It's not a cheap kite, but it's worth every penny.

I bought this for my kids, but ended up mostly using it myself on a beach holiday. It flew really well and withstood the strong winds of Prince Edward Island. I upgraded the reel, so can't comment on that aspect. Lots of fun, and I'm thinking of getting a more advanced kite before my next beach holiday. Happy with the purchase.
