I have an unbelievable talent for tangling these kite lines
I be spinning silk 25/8 and I recently lost my beloved sky defier. She was only 6 months old and I can’t believe she’s gone. I hope to move on, but I still need some time. But the synapse 140 -170 has caught my eye. Boy is she a beauty!
Phenomenal
Thanks man
This might be the step forward for me. At 72, my Quantum 2 just has a tiny bit too much beast about it for my reactions these days. Unless my eyes were deceived by the softer shape of the parafoil, it seemed a tad bit more mellow in its turns and such. I couldn't agree with you more about the quality of Prism's products. I have several. I enjoyed this clip, thanks for making it available.
Hi, yes the synapse 140 is a bit tamer than the other prism foil's & can fly well in lower wind speeds (not dragging you off your feet). Regards Moon 🪁🪁🪁
So cool to see it go high in the sky and catch the air....
Thanks for the lovely video x
Beautiful Kite ! Looks like it flys like a bird ! Can’t wait to see my son fly this one !
Hi Chris, the prism synapse 140 is a fun Kite it responds quickly in a brisk wind, enjoy 🪁🪁🪁🪁🪁
Thank u for the upload!!
Excellent video. Really useful for a noob like me.
Hi Graeme, it's a fun kite, can't go wrong with prism kites. Thanks 👍 Regards Moon.
This looks like a lovely kite, it seems to handle very well.
Your video made me decide to buy one, thanks for the review. Regards
Thanks Hans. prism make quality kites you wont regret buying one, hope you have many happy hours of fun. Regards Moon
@@ukmoon hello moon, thanks for the reply. I was looking for a kite next to my hq symphony speed 2,5. I dont dare to fly that with more wind, this prism would allow me to kite with a bit more wind was the reasoning. Regards
@@mvbracing Hi again Hans, yes if its blowing a strong wind the 140 wont take you off your feet. regards, moon
Just bought it today,cant wait to fly thanks
Just got one can’t wait to fly it. I’m at the ocean should be some killer wind!! Got a sub great video!!
Hi there. It's a fun kite to fly especially if the wind is strong. Thanks for watching. Regards Moon. 🪁🪁🪁
I'm yet to branch out to dual line kites. Watching this video got me really keen to give it a go!
Hi, This is a good kite to start with, super responsive & easy to handle. regards Moon.
I have the 2m, it's awesome, except the one time winds were blowing North of 60k and it scared me, even with Prism 75' tube tail slowing things down. I've since added a kite killer & bar (bar makes it easier to let go when things get too hairy) and a 100' streamer tail. Lots of fun. But I'm looking at ur 1.4m kite for those big wind days or for the kids. Tho 75' of kite line, 75' tube tail & 100' streamer, not too many parks are big enough with smooth air, around here Vancouver 🇨🇦
Hi Daniel wow flying a kite in 60kph wind's would be scary !! I have flown the synapse 140 in 40kph & that nearly took me off my feet... Stay safe & have fun. Regards Moon.
@uk_moon Hello, thank you for this video :) Do you know the name of this song please ?
clearly not enough wind to have the kite really rockin'...
I'm lookin' at at the Prism 140 for stormy days to have a super-fast fun kite. I find the price somewhat steep although. I have the Synergy 170 which is a fun kite and can fly in a wide variety of wind conditions. With low wind it already goes o.k. and with higher wind it get's really fast.
Hi Nick, true could have done with a bit more wind that day, I have flown it many times since & in 15 to 20mph winds it's a lot of fun nearly taking me off my feet. Regards Moon.
also when it was doing the sharp turns where you doing that ?
Yes it turns very quick especially when the wind is blowing strong. Regards Moon..
I think it's time to upgrade to 140 from my old 1.2 Prism speed foil :)
Hi Andre, it's a good kite & well made.
i wonder how it compares against Flexifoils Little Buzz......do you have any other kites to compare it to?
Hi Ivan, I've not flown the buzz but if you look at my "conquerair 200 NA'I" video for a comparison might help. regards moon.
@@ukmoon ok so i bought one of these. Maybe im a spoilt Flexifoil fan but imo the line it comes with is too heavy, you can see in the video the trailing line sags a bit, i think its dyneema line and im not a fan anyway. You get a nice launch here but if you are by yourself and its windy its hard to get going and i think thats because of an over complicated bridle system. do not try this with a tail, its way to heavy and i thought that was causing vibration down the line but even with the tail off you dont get a smooth feel. I used my spectra line for less stretch to see if that helped, did a bit but this kites not for me. I will say its very quick, its like a 4ft Flexfoil from years ago but thats about it. if you havent flown another kite before youll probably love it. Im going to do a review of this myself and compare it against my little buzz. Just thought i would share my thoughts. all the best.
@@ipj1970cnty Hi there think you are correct about the heavy line, but in a strong wind say anything over 15mph the sag is not there. ive also flown it with a tube tail that i made 10 meters long and it fly's fine but you will need a strong wind, i will check out your video as soon as it is up. regards moon.
Could you install tail's onto this model ?
Hi joe, yes you can but only 1 it has a loop in the center at the base. regards. moon.
How much are these
@@markpomicter7486 Hi mark. The prism 140 costs about £50 in the UK. Regards moon.
Wish I knew I needed gloves 😭
Hi there, yes the kite can pull very hard. 🪁🪁🙏
I can get away with just padded handles on my prism tantrum 220
Thanks for posting this video! , I just boght this exact kite at a pawn shop and this video got me started. This kite is so awesome!
