Synapse 140

Bought this for a trip to the beach! I have a Nexus and the old Snapshot in a few sizes but I really wanted this green colorway! Looks dope with the 75ft rainbow tube tail, and my kids were able to fly it too with no worries about breaking parts. Really relaxing to fly it in figure 8’s and ground passes. We did crash it into the surf at one point and a bunch of sand got into the baffles, oops! Took a bit of work to shake it all out once it was dry!

My first and only stunt kite. Pretty easy to fly. Has a little pull in stiff wind. Upgraded the fly lines and I believe it flys a bit better with the new lines. Very sturdy with nothing to break. Mine has took a few hard crashes and still like new after over a year flying mostly infrequently. Very fun and has me looking for my next Prism kite.

I got this one as a backup to my Jazz, because the kids kept losing parts to the traditional delta. It turned out to be really awesome and everyone loves flying it.

Throw it into the air, and it's good to go. Thanks for all the amazing afternoons.

This is such a great foil kite for getting into two-line control and more. It's incredibly fast to get going, no assembly at all, just drag your line out and launch! Flying this kite is super fun at every wind speed I've encountered - it gets super zippy at times and looks fantastic. Thanks to the small area it's manageable and fun in gusts and has a light pull. Relaunching is usually pretty easy, often times without even having to reset the kite. There's nothing to break and it packs away super fast.

It's definitely an entryway to collecting kites or even getting into power. I've already picked up a Synapse 200 to take advantage of slower winds, and might be trying out a 3.5m power kite soon, but I don't think I'll ever leave the 140 at home.

This is the first and only stunt kite I own. It is so much fun to fly. Packs small enough it is easy to fit in my bike bag, and the lack of rigid supports also makes me less worried when I accidentally crash too close to someone. It flies well in very high wind and relatively low wind. Sturdy too - I have pulled it out of bushes and briar-filled grass, but still no damage. I especially love to fly paired with a tube tail. There is only 1 center tail attachment, so I sewed attachment points on the corners and fly with 3 tails on extremely windy days. It is a stunning kite that draws the eyes of all whenever it is in the air.
