The Nexus was a great choice to start with. It gives you all the controls and maneuverability you'll need to get started and see if kiting is for you! <br /> <br />It's very affordable and durable for the beginner, these are the points I really liked about it. <br /> <br />I've had just my Nexus with me on a few business trips. It's small so it comes right into my suitcase and to the site I'm assigned to for that week of business. It sits with me at the back of boardroom, just waiting for those meetings to be over for the day! <br /> <br /> <br />It took me all of a few days in good wind to realize kiting was for me... not too long after I moved up a notch and purchased some higher end models from Prism. <br /> <br /> <br />Prism's quality and support is fantastic, and rare to see these days in the business world. It's a pleasure dealing with them and flying their awesome designs! They have the best quality team and support I've seen in the kiting industry, second to none. <br /> <br />Still flying Prism kites today and I hope many many years to come!! <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The only bad thing I found with getting a Nexus was deciding which color scheme to go with, they all rock! <br /> <br /> <br />When you move up the Prism line, you can keep this kite with you. <br />There will always be a friend(s)/family member you can help get started in the sport with this trainer!

The only bad thing I found with getting a Nexus was deciding which color scheme to go with, they all rock!

When you move up the Prism line, you can keep this kite with you.

I had ordered another kite for my younger brother and his had a 70in wingspan. I had read in the product features: <br /> <br />Product Features <br />A dual-line kite perfect for novice to intermediate kite fliers <br />84" wing span is effective for winds 3 - 25 mph <br />Graphite frame with ripstop nylon & mylar sail <br />Kevlar-reinforced nose forgive your unplanned landings <br />Compact, take-it-anywhere package includes Spectra lines, winder, flight straps, and travel case with easy instructions printed right on the back. <br /> <br />Note it says 84" wing Span I was hooked and really did not bother reading the rest under product features: <br /> <br />SPECS: Skill level: novice - intermediate, Wing span: 60" (152 cm) <br /> <br />Yes, the Nexus comes with a 60" Wing Span, while on the other hand the Prism Quantum is the one that really comes with the 84" Wing Span (7ft). <br /> <br />My brother and I took our kites out for the first time today, we are pure begginers to stunt kites and well honestly have not flown a kite in years. We enjoyed our time out there even with every hard crash we made, and the frustration of trying to get the kite to do what we wanted. Now I know for sure it's going to take some practice. I think I'm actually glad the Nexus is a 60" wing span now that I flew it. So, other than my downer when I realized I the wing span was not what I read; the Nexus Kite from Prism is an awesome kite and I really do recommend it. Next time I will just have to read more carefully and I'm sure the Quantum is next in line for me. Happy Kite Flying!

A really, really fast, well-handling car. Like a car, you better be able to handle it, because it's going to wreck while you learn. <br /> <br />First time you hit a strong wind, you'll see what I mean. It's brilliantly engineered. If you're really good, you could chase birds with it - it's that agile. <br /> <br />Highly recommended, but you need to be able to handle it. Rating: 5 / 5 This isn’t a kite, it’s a sports car.

Erickson Wed, 10 Mar 2010 03:04:04 +0000 http://nrccps.com/2010/03/prism-nexus-stunt-kite/#comment-737 I bought this for my 15 year old son for Christmas. He was disappointed to receive "just a kite", until he started using it. Now he loves it, and tries to find time every day to go outside to use it, even though it is freezing. I had to make a couple adjustments to the lines to keep it up in the air when we first got it, but now it works great. Very high quality materials, and a tough kite. It has crashed into the ground and various bushes and trees at full speed without any noticeable damage. Lots and lots of fun....I am thinking of getting one for myself so we can fly them together.
