      Comments about Prism Designs Jazz Kite:

      What a buzz kill ! Had it up for less than an hour in recommended winds and mid rib and side pole splintered and shattered. I trusted Prism but bad design. Should be discontinued. I used a birthday gift card and picked it out online.

        Comments about Prism Designs Jazz Kite:

        This kite is a blast!

        I bought it yesterday and have flown it 3-4 times since then. I just flew it in about 20mph winds (gusting to 30mph) and this thing can move.

        I am a total beginner when it comes to kites, but I was able to learn how to turn quickly and easily. It is very durable too, I have had a few hard nose impacts with the ground, but it still flies great!

          Comments about Prism Designs Jazz Kite:

          When Prism says "forgiving", I'd say they mean it. The Jazz is similar to the Nexus in construction and design, but I found that its smaller size and therefore slightly lighter weight made it easier to fly in lighter winds.
          If you live in an area where winds are indeed lighter oft times, as I do, this is a big plus.

          I still recommend the Snapshot 1.2 powerfoil when learning the basics of dual line kites, but the Jazz has been a great next step to start building stunt skills for me.

            Comments about Prism Designs Jazz Kite:

            this was my first time purchasing a stunt kite and the Jazz is easy to learn and fun to fly for beginners. the kite does require a relatively strong wind (10-15 mph) to fly effectively. would recommend a large open field or beachfront setting rather than a backyard or neighborhood park. also, stay out of high wind situations, as I have snapped the main pole (spine) several times as a result of too much wind pressure while flying.

              Easy to use and really fun, you do need a fair amount of wind though.
