How To Fly a Stunt Kite - Prism Synapse - Snapshot - Parafoil

Come fly with me! Here's a brief tutorial on flying two string stunt kites from a first person perspective. The kite in this video is a "parafoil," but the same concepts would apply to other types of 2 string stunt kites as well.
It seems that my Prism Snapshot is no longer for sale and has been replaced by the newer Prism Synapse. Here's a link to the kite!

You make it look easy…
Now teach your family, it would be cool to see more in the air!

[@mericanhoney]

I am teaching the boys, but when flying with me they stand right in front of my chest mounted camera. The footage could have been better

Need to add to the video the actual unpacking of the kite strings, as well as proper storage for us kite novices.

[@SeaWasp]

I've been flying the 1.9m version for 14 years. The kite is folded and pre rigged with the lines and handles neatly figure eighted around a plastic paddle. Setup is stupid simple

[@ptownlau]

@@SeaWasp I mean really after flying, and how to store. Unpacking for first time was so easy, that I didn’t actually pay close attention. I don’t remember how it unpacked (was windy day, and lots going on), and there’s no instructions on how to repack the strings. Tried it once and failed miserably w a mess of tangles.

Took my small foil kite out on holiday last week. Not sure if the wind was too variable had trouble with the flying on occasion with it spinning and folding in on itself.
Glad I watched this video though it gave me some good pointers and I did manage to do a couple of solo launches.

[@mericanhoney]

Yes, consistent wind is a must. I usually only fly mine at the beach for that reason. I have flown inland only a handful of times with very mixed results. Shifting, inconsistent wind.

[@parttroll1]

@@mericanhoney yeah I was at the beach with what felt like a good onshore breeze at the top of the cliff but as you got down to beach level it seemed less strong. Whether it was to do with the cliff face deflecting the flow of wind up higher. It wasn’t too bad if I got the kite above that level. However I guess my inexperience was the problem I figured 😊.
Need to do it more ad it was enjoyable

[@hunter5057]

are you able to fly with it by jumping?

[@baesian4988]

What is the name of the tail?

[@bigzocksimpson1191]

[@mericanhoney]

Thanks for watching!

[@larsflieskites]

Nice tutorial,nothing to add :-)

[@mericanhoney]

Thanks Brother!

[@crazywhitekid1991]

How did you get the wet sand out ?

[@mericanhoney]

After I dried the kite out, it shook right out. Had to be done for that day
