REI Members get back an estimated $ 7.50 on this item as part of their annual member refund.

The REI Member Dividend

The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

Comments about Prism Designs Nexus Kite:

This is another one of Prism's entry-level kites, bigger than the Jazz but smaller than the Quantum, and somewhat similar in construction to both. It has the kevlar-reinforced nose that the others have, but does not have the shock-absorbing tail of the Quantum.

The Nexus needs a little bit more wind to pick up than the Jazz does, from my experience. So as I said in my review of the Jazz, it was easier to start learning on the Jazz in lighter winds, and then moving on to the Nexus in more moderate winds.

The pictures I show here include the kite with an optional tail that does not come with the base package. It can be ordered directly from Prism, as are spare parts. I managed to break the spine on mine, so it should be noted that you can replace broken parts without needing to buy a whole new kite.
