Smallest member of the EO kite series, the Prism EO Atom box kite folds flat and is light and compact for easy transport and storage.

  • "EO" stands for Expandable Object—open the kite and watch it spring into a fun flying shape
  • 3 intersecting planes pop open ready to fly and give the kite great stability when the line is kept taut
  • Box kite design allows you to experiment with tumbling tricks by slacking the line
  • No matter which way it lands, the Atom can relaunch instantly with a tug of the string
  • Ripstop polyester sails are light yet tough for long-lasting performance; rugged fiberglass frame is light and compact to carry yet durable enough to withstand a hard landing
  • Includes 200 ft. of line and winder

Imported.

    Comments about Prism Designs EO Atom Box Kite:

    Great Prism quality kite. The design is again unique and eye catching. Easy to fly and stable. Great for kids or beginners. Light pull, so make sure you use light string. My leat favorite of the Prism kites I have; Flip Kite, Stowable Diamond, or EO6, but that does not make it a bad kite. It's small size and great design make it handy and a great value. Like all the Prism kites, they cost more, but they are clearly a better value thanks to better flying characteristics and longer lasting quality.

    Comments about Prism Designs EO Atom Box Kite:

    This kite is inherently unstable compared to Prism's other box kite designs (like the Triad), but it makes it a SUPER fighter-style kite once you get it into the air.

    "The Atom can relaunch instantly with a tug of the string" is a bit misleading; it tends to land bottom side up, which I found made it dig into a grassy field. True, with enough slack and a shorter line, and some twitching in your tug, you can get it back aloft, but it's not quite that easy.
