I got a Pocket Kite from my workplace. Since we've had a far gustier summer than previous years, it was a wise decision to get this totally boneless kite! No frame! It practically self-launches. And, no geese got crash landed on. Everybody won!

Prism kites

Traditional sport kites were most prevalent from the 1970s through the 1990s. Larger kites were capable of pulling pilots or lifting passengers in water ski shows, smaller designs were flown by pilots on beaches or stands. The Rogallo wing's simple design of triangular fabric was easy for amateurs to construct on their own. Multi-line sport kites were popularized by designs of Francis Rogallo and Domina Jalbert, which were used in televised water skiing shows and movies in the 1960s. Traditional dual-line sport kites Ĭontrollable dual line kites have been around since at least the mid-1800s, and likely much earlier considering the history of kites into antiquity. There are three main categories of sport kites: Unique quad-line maneuvers include reverse flight, axis spins, hovers, and side to side flight. Skilled use of these handles allows a quad-line kite to perform in ways that are difficult or impossible with a dual-line kite. The pitch of the kite affects lift and forward drive, and since each of four lines can be moved the kite can be tilted, rotated, twisted, or pitched in any direction. The kite experiences more force on the lines held on higher tension. To control the kite the pilot applies tension to the four lines, typically all four lines have some tension with some lines drawn back more than the others. Quad-line kites are controlled with a pair of handles, each with two lines attached to the top and bottom and attached to the kite correspondingly. This type of stall allows for various other acrobatic maneuvers to be performed. During diving maneuvers sport kites may reach speeds of 100 km/h (60 mph), while in stall type maneuvers they can remain nearly motionless. These range in difficulty from turns, loops and landings, to maneuvers where the kite is flipped and turned end over end, wrapping the lines or floating on its front or back. Using a combination of pulls (to add tension or direct kite motion) and pushes (to give slack and let float into motion), complex tricks and patterns can be flown. The pitch can be controlled by walking/running forward or backwards, giving the lines different amounts of tension. A pilot may pull on the right-hand line to turn right, pull left-hand line to turn left, pull equally for straight flight, push the left-hand line to release air and turn right, and so on. The flying lines are made from braided ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene, which is light, does not stretch under tension and stays slippery even when wrapped many times.ĭual-line sport kites are controlled by the pilot adding and releasing tension on the right and left lines. These kites are normally constructed from lightweight ripstop nylon or ripstop polyester with spars made from carbon fiber tubing. Another common configuration is a W-shaped panel based on the Hadzicki wing, with four lines for control. Recommended flying lines: 80′ to 100′ x 150# Spectra line.One common configuration for a sport kite is a roughly triangular "delta" shape based on the Rogallo wing, with two lines for control. A beefy carbon frame means that you can play near the ground with confidence. Going flying when it's nukin? Originally designed for Prism's sponsored fliers, the Vented Eclipse has a reduced pull and stalls easily in moderate to very strong winds while retaining all the capabilities of the standard Eclipse. Recommended flying lines: 50′ to 80′ x 50# to 80# Spectra line. Though the SUL has the same low wind rating as the Total Eclipse, it is slightly more maneuverable in the lightest winds because of its smaller size. It's quick, agile, and perfectly balanced for stalls, axels, and slack-line maneuvers. His inimitable light wind style helped to make the SUL the kite of choice for Seattle's gentle breezes. Light wind guru Tom Ettel claims that no matter what Prism invents next, the SUL will always be his favorite kite. Recommended flying lines: 65′ to 90′ x 80# to 150# Spectra line. For the novice or intermediate flier who won't compromise, it's rugged, stable, precise, and beautifully balanced - a stunt kite you 'll never outgrow Flex-in battens and our new clip-mount standoff fittings offer snag-free performance. Four years of constant improvements make this Eclipse one of Prism's greatest design achievements to date.įor the expert, it's capable of the most advanced tricks being done anywhere, including stalls, axels, backflips, Lazy Susans, cartwheels, and tricks so new they haven't even named them yet. And Prism has never stopped making it a better kite. Our joy in flying the Eclipse has never stopped. The Eclipse's incredible balance and agility has made it a familiar friend in our kite bag.

I'm probably more excited about this kite than any other christmas present I've gotten! It's my first two stringer and my first kite that will definitely give some pull! I seriously CANNOT waittttt to take it out! My mom said during my nap I turned to her and said "I love my kite." Haha I don't remember it but I definitely believe it. It's pretty-pretty. I need to look up places the are long and flat with a good wind current... I was reading reviews and there were lots of like 200 lbs guys that said around 15mph it was making them take large steps!!!!! I'm like 130lbs so I bet it'll drag me:))))) I'm seriously so pumped!!!!!!!

Prism Kites

I wrote this song several months ago. These are just the lyrics. I recommend hitting the link below to hear it along with the music. It’s about how uniquely designed we are to deal with life’s turmoils and struggles, especially in relationships. Sometimes those designs are so complicated to one another that relationships can implode if they aren’t exploited properly or accepted by ones who are closest to us. I compare these designs to those seen on prism kites. Prism kites are elegant and graceful when seen flying; yet, like their colorful designs, we are also entrapped in ways of representing our own colors. When our kites fall down, it can dismantle us and affect those around us. Enjoy.

Prism Kites

Moonlight is up and our designs are down I’m waiting to hear of your escape To find the wishing fountain It’s just the first coin in these waters And its willing to sink Its just our strength to protect From the ones we love Our prism kites down Love froze us all down

Moonlight is up and our designs are down To hold defeat on golden coin faces Come down from your glass castle Baby, its not your place No one will know your agony there Let’s compromise… Our prism kites down Love froze us all down There’s a wishing well within us To keep us To keep us Turning us backwards in the night I’ll be quiet Be quiet Our prism kites float in the sky To keep us To keep us Like prisoners trapped in their designs Our prism kites down Love froze us all down

There’s a wishing well within us To keep us To keep us Turning us backwards in the night I’ll be quiet Be quiet Our prism kites float in the sky To keep us To keep us

Like prisoners trapped in their designs
