Prism Bora Single-line Parafoil Kite

This is a Big kite. A Big Fun kite!The first time I flew a Bora was at the beach. I was meeting a friend and she told me to look for the kite with the long green tail. I found her easy enough and we kept the kite up in the air all afternoon. When it was time to go, she reeled it in, stuffed it in the bag and clipped it to her backpack. Jut like that! I was sold. Had to get one for myself!I got the Bora 7. It’s bigger than the one I flew with my friend and a total blast. It’s easy to get in the air, and very friendly to fly even when the wind shifts and burbles.I do a lot of hiking and backpacking so the quality of my gear matters to me. This kite is well made and it looks like they really thought through the details. It packs up small so it’s easy take it out on adventures. It comes with a reel of good quality string that attaches to the bag so it won’t get lost. (Very thoughtful!). Set-up is easy: pull the kite from the bag, clip the string to the kite and you’re good to go. Launch with a good bit of wind and a fair amount of space (you don’t want to tangle the long tail in a tree on take-off) and off you go. The kite inflates itself in the wind and quickly becomes very stable in the air.This kite is fun to fly by hand and equally fun tied off to a beach chair. I took it with me recently to North Carolina and though I didn’t get to fly it (the rain there was worse than Seattle!) I was happy to have it along just in case. This kite is my new favorite thing and is going to make gift-giving very easy this year.

A fun and relatively easy to fly kite. That is, it requires less wind than most traditional diamond or delta kites. And being a parafoil design, it packs down into a compact package/bag. So it's easier to have with you.

This kite was VERY easy to assemble and fly. There was no actual assembly required, you just take the clip on the line and attach it to a loop, put your back to the wind and let it go! I advise letting a bit of line out and giving it a tug to get it going in the air if the wind is light, but with 7+mph it takes virtually no effort to get flying.The 5 does not have a lot of pull in lower winds (I haven't taken it out in anything higher than about 10 yet) but can easily hold up small line laundry. If you are looking for something to carry a camera, or a lot of line laundry consider the 7 instead. This kite would be PERFECT for a younger child. The long tail is very eye catching.IF you are below 7mph, or are around buildings you will notice that the kite will bob around and be more challenging to keep up in the air. Make sure you're in a space where the is nothing behind you and you will have complete success.The colors and material are great. Very bright, light but tough.

Kite does not fly straight. Rolls right and dives. Iv found others with similar with this kite. Seems to be a quality control issue. Some fly great some not so much. I wouldn't bother rolling the dice on this tho. Whil not the most expensive kite, i have 10 dollar foils from xkites that fly worlds better

this thing need alot of wind to take off and for a total new comer to kite it can be diffcult took me an hour to figure out how to keep it in the air. however this kite is pretty nice looking and for sure its very eye catching when the shape of this thing is different the color is nice too so i know which kite is mine among all the things thats in the sky.however i would love the line much longer that being said this is a nice quality product handles well and all would be great if its cheaper

These kites are amazing! They are so incredibly easy to fly. I have all kinds of kites—diamond style, delta kites, weird animal shapes, and other parafoil style. This one out flies them all! It will literally be up in seconds and will stay up for hours. Even if it does lose altitude because it gets twisted up a bit, a little bit of reeling it in will usually cause it to right itself. Everyone around you will struggle with their fancy and cute kites, but this one will fly like a dream, even in iffy weather.I have 2 Bora 5’s and convinced a friend to get a Bora 7. We’ve flown every Friday since the lockdown and these have passed the test. I don't know what all the people who gave a bad review are talking about. This is absolutely the easiest kite to fly. I do recommend that you get a reel instead of using the included handle. A reel will make the process much easier. Also, it is very durable. Other kites I purchased at the same time are already fraying.

Very nicely made and packaged. It flew for the first time in a very light fluky wind that was only about 6 mph. I launched it out of my hand and it climbed as high as I gave it line. Really attractive in the sky in the lime green color. A bargain at the price. I can put the kite and my kite reel in my knapsack and fly just about anywhere. I had no problems with tangling at at all, the bridles and the color coded red attachment loop came out of the package very neatly. I have owned and flown prism stunt kites and they have a very good reputation but this is my first single line kite from them, thanks for the great product and to Amazon for the crazy fast free shipping! I think more adults should try kite flying whether single line or stunt kite. It's cheap and fun, it gets you out in the fresh air and it's very relaxing and gives you a chance to think. I'm kind of old, fat and prone to depression, a kite brings a great deal of joy and relief and a break from worry. Give it a try! It's cheaper than therapy!

String was frayed out of the package. Spool had rough edges unlike the other prism I have. Also, this bora 5 was unstable up in the air and collapsed multiple times.
