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!
Blown away... so much fun in little wind.
I really enjoy this kite. It works well in a variety of wind conditions. It can be a powerful kite but not overwhelming. It's a big kite so be prepared to strike up conversations with people when you fly. Highly recommend.
I have flown this kite for about 8 years now. I really wish I knew the miles I have on it! The learning curve was not to steep but each time I fly I think I learn something new about the beauty of flying a well made kite. Every flight is unique from the connection to wind and sky to the function fitness workout of a good wind day! I would totally recommend this kite to anyone that is intrigued by the possibilities of flying such a Fun kite!!
Have flown over 100 hours and still flying well after repairs. Tantrums take abuse more than comparable competitors lighter material. Prism uses a grade tougher. Never used the Bar. Only use Prism Padded Wrist Straps with German Made HQ Kites Winderset 30m98ft or 35m115ft Dyneema Lines. Tantrum250 is my most used toy & tool for 10-20 mph winds.
This Kite is a ton of fun to fly. I have had mine for 4 years and it is very durable. It flies great with a 75 ft tube tail. It pulls hard in 10+ mph winds and is a menace in 15+. I had to do some slight adjustments in line length when I first got it, perhaps from one of the lines stretching a bit more than the other.
