Product Description
Taking a vacation, or wishing you could? The Nexus is a favorite choice for travel, especially if you're new to sport kiting. Small enough to pack in a suitcase, big enough for real-kite performance, it's the perfect package to get you hooked with real equipment that'll take a beating and perform whenever you feel the urge to fly. The Nexus is quick and agile but forgiving enough for first-time pilots. It will fly in lower winds than typical beginner kites, a big plus for inland pilots. In higher wind it's got a solid pull that will put a big grin on your face. Once you learn the basics, it's capable of an amazing range of acrobatic maneuvers at speeds up to 22 mph. The Nexus features a collapsible leading edge that folds to just 28" so you can stick it in a suitcase or on your backpack for distant adventures. Its high performance delta wing is carefully shaped from ripstop nylon and Mylar laminate with Kevlar reinforcements at the nose and tail for impact resistance. Color-coded lines make setup a snap. Ready-to-fly package comes complete with high performance Spectra lines, winder, flight straps, and compact zippered travel case with easy instructions printed on the case so you'll never lose them.

The Kite appeared to be well made, however, when I first assembled it to fly I found that the bridle and lines were all different lengths, the lines were at least 1 foot different (making the wrist straps useless), and the bridle lines were also different lengths making it impossible to fly. Don't waste your money.
 Does its' job. August 2, 2007

This is my first stunt I have ever bought so I might not have much comparison experience but this kite really is fun. It is really easy to set up, probably takes only a minute or two and is very easy to get the kite up if there is a moderate breeze.
Although there is a small learning curve to get a feel for the turning, it usually is only 10 minutes if not less.
The first time I flew this kite I was in a field on campus and everyone walking by would pause for a little bit to watch me fly the kite, and I don't doubt it'd be a great excuse to invite someone on a date.
Great kite for starting out in kiting! February 18, 2007

The Nexus was my first `real' stunt kite, and it's the one that got me hooked on the sport.
I had some thoughts about getting into kiting before, and I thought I'd give it a try with a good beginner kite. The Nexus was a great choice to start with. It gives you all the controls and maneuverability you'll need to get started and see if kiting is for you!
It's very affordable and durable for the beginner; these are the points I really liked about it.
I've had just my Nexus with me on a few business trips. It's small so it comes right into my suitcase and to the site I'm assigned to for that week of business. It sits with me at the back of boardroom, just waiting for those meetings to be over for the day!
It took me all of a few days in good wind to realize kiting was for me... not too long after I moved up a notch and purchased some higher end models from Prism.
Prism's quality and support is fantastic, and rare to see these days in the business world. It's a pleasure dealing with them and flying their awesome designs! They have the best quality team and support I've seen in the kiting industry, second to none.
Still flying Prism kites today and I hope many many years to come!!
The only bad thing I found with getting a Nexus was deciding which color scheme to go with, they all rock!
When you move up the Prism line, you can keep this kite with you.
There will always be a friend(s)/family member you can help get started in the sport with this trainer!
