How strong is the wind? Better hang on. Designed specifically for dual-line bar control. Tantrum parafoils are speedy, rugged, and a blast to fly… and you’ll be digging your heels in as the breeze comes up.
Perfect trainers for traction kiting, kiteboarding, or all-around fun, they’ll give you solid kite handling skills with a control bar before you take on the serious pull of a full-sized water or traction kite. In stronger winds, the Tantrum’s low-drag airfoil delivers impressive speed and more than enough power to drag you down the beach with an adrenaline-stoked grin.
The Tantrum 220 is smaller than the 250, making it speedier with less pull. It’s perfect for smaller pilots or stronger winds.
The bigger Tantrum 250 pulls harder with a little less speed. It’s great for heavier pilots and flies more easily in lighter winds. It also turns a little slower, giving you more time to react and fly precisely.
Be sure to use the included safety leash: If things get too wild just let go of the bar. The kite will depower and settle safely to the ground while still tethered to your wrist.
Both sizes deliver solid pull in moderate to strong winds but still fly easily in light to moderate winds. They come ready to fly with Dyneema lines pre-attached, control bar with safety leash, travel bag and Instructions. Just unfold the sail, unwind the lines and get ready to hang on!
This is undoubtedly the best kite I’ve ever flown, and I’ve tried about 5 of prism’s kites. By far the sturdiest and most reliable kite in my quiver, and an absolute blast to fly. While the size can lead to challenges for smaller pilots in stronger winds, it’s unbeatable for learning with in 10-13 mph winds. I live for the days when I can attach the tail - major eye catcher. I throw a tantrum whenever I can!
I enjoy this kite - a lot of power to play with. The downside is it’s sometimes hard to launch solo.
Super fun and entertaining to fly, especially with a tail. It’s the kite I pull out to show new people because the control bar is so intuitive. It has taken multiple full speed slams into grass and sand and is no worse for wear.
I love flying my Tantrum! If the winds are lighter, I can easily drive the foil across the envelope, or dive from the top, to get good speed and PULL. In moderate winds, this thing is a good workout, and I find that crouching a little helps me use my core better. In heavier winds - hoo boy! I do my best to stay in the same county. I'm looking forward to seeing how the training I'm getting from flying this kite will translate to a four-line kite. I have other Prism kites, and all of them are excellent quality and put up with the sandy, salty environment in which I fly.
I have been flying this kite now about 5 years. It has been a joy to learn and improve with every flight! I would highly recommend this kite to anyone wanting to experience thrill of power kiting!!
