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!

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 beginer stunters! March 10, 2007

I actually went to a kite shop at the Outer Banks, Kitty Hawk Kites and purchased this kite. I had several traditional kites before and wanted to do something a little more than hold a string still.
They recomended this kite for anyone getting into the sport. It is extremely durable and can take tons of poundings to the ground.
Once I got it home and took it out for a spin I was hooked! It was so much fun and so entertaining! I loved watching people as they went by stopping and looking at this kite.
I also was impressed with how easy it was to assemble. The instuctions were very clear and there are even instuctions pinted on the case so that you don't lose them. It folds up so compact that you can really take it anywhere.
I love Prism brand kites above all others. They always seem to last far beyond they ever should. They are high quality kites that are very affordable. That is another plus about the Nexus, it is so affordable.
I have bought more advanced kites since the Nexus but this is still one of my favorites. This is an excellent beginer kite that is fun for all!

Jazz - Great Beginner Stunt Kite September 16, 2007

This is a great kite for the first time pilot. It has everything you need to get started; cool case, lines, and easy assembly instructions. It takes less then a minute to get together and launch! It's durable and can zip around the sky pretty good.
It's on the small side so it doesn't pull in the wind as much as bigger kites; so it's prefect for young kids, or young adults just starting to learn to fly. It's strong and can take some crashing from the first time pilot, as to be expected when learning.
The Quantum by Prism would also be another great beginner kite, which is bigger and has more pull from the wind.
You'll enjoy this kite!
