Comments about Prism Designs EO6 Box Kite:

This is a fun kite to fly. Not only does it look amazing but if flies really easily on light to moderate winds. And it is also a great tumbler once you get used to the way it behaves when you pull on the line.

Comments about Prism Designs EO6 Box Kite:

I've had this kite out at the beach in everything from slow, light winds to fairly strong gusty wind, and have never been disappointed with this kite's performance. It can be a little bit tricky to get it to fly sometimes, but I've found that letting out a good length of line first so that it can just take off helps a lot.

The unique intersecting elliptical design often gets positive comments from others. Getting it to tumble can be a bit tricky, but with a little practice, it's fun to get it to look like it's falling out of the sky, only to recover and soar right back up.

Comments about Prism Designs EO6 Box Kite:

A very stable and easy to fly kite, I brought one for my 7 year old son and he was flying it great first try. Compare that to the frustration he has had with cheap and nasty kites. The other reviewer who complained the kite was unstable must be very confused. Likely they did not attach the string (it has a locking spring connector to make it easy to attach and remove) to the bridle that is pre-attached to the kite. There is a small fabric loop elsewhere on the kite, that is *not* the bridle you attach to. This is a very stable and easy to fly kite.

Comments about Prism Designs EO6 Box Kite:

First of all, if you are planning on buying a kite, check out Prism first. This is one of my favorite single line kites. Interesting and eye catching design that flies easily and can do some neat tumbling tricks with little effort or challenge. After the stowaway diamond model, this is my next recommendation to buy. For those having challenges flying this kite and others, try getting into some better wind. Gusty and turbulant wind make this kite dive and tumble, but don't blame the kite, find a better place to fly with less up wind obstuctions.
