Pure exhilaration!
Style: 250
This Tantrum 250 is a lot of fun. The kite has a lot of pull on it even when the wind is marginal. It does not turn as quick as the Prism 140 or 200 but it is a lot of fun. These soft foil kites without spars are great for beginners as they can smack into the ground at full speed without damage, just flip it over and take off again. This kite has no problem lifting the Prism 75' tail and the tail looks very cool doing it. The handle is easy to hold with good padding and has well placed hooks for the string to wrap around. It is a good idea to wind the string around the handle in a figure 8 pattern so when you unwind the string it is not tangled. The kite packs up very easily, just wind up the sting & wrist strap, fold the kite in half, roll the handle up in the kite, flop the top of the kite over the handle bar and stuff it in the bag. The bag is a bit long but light weight, easy to pack / unpack, and has enough straps, hooks, and grommet holes that it's easy to transport. There is a wrist strap so if the kite pulls too hard you can just let go and it luffs to the ground without pull. Highly recommended for those that want a good work out when flying a kite.

A well designed kite - from a company that is passionate about their product.
Style: 250
This kite was our first dual-line parafoil that we purchased. _Expectations: The tantrum 250 was chosen based on the experience of flying a friend's Prism Synapse as well as the solid positive reviews that we read through. _The Product: The kite, complete with low-stretch Dyneema lines was a really well designed product. I did not find anything that fell short of the description and in addition to that, I was particularly pleased with the bridle lines which resisted tangling and the overall construction which really gave me confidence in the claim of the ability to survive hard landings. Finally, when rolled up into it's bag it makes for a surprisingly tight package that's easy to find a storage place for (on a shelf, in the rafters, hung up with the coats, etc.) -Flight: It's an arm-stretcher - even in a moderate breeze. The control bar makes it easier to work with under stronger winds. We also switched the control bar out (easily) with some home-made wrist straps for lighter breezes. As it says in the description, the 250 is a big kite with real pull, but not as quick and snappy as a stunt kite. We had a number of hard landings on grass as we were getting to know it, but each time recovered easily without damage or tangling. (I did buy some patching tape just in case.) Over all, it's a really, really fun kite and a reminder that in a contest with the wind - the wind can easily win. - The Company: I think in any case I'd give this kite a solid 5 stars. It exceeded my expectations. But what I also want to acknowledge is an exceptional customer service experience I had with the people at Prism. Not only were they outstandingly helpful and positive, but I also experienced the enthusiasm and passion they have around what they do. That can be as important as the quality of the product itself.

Style: 250
I never would have guessed that I would enjoy flying a kite as much as I have after purchasing the Tantrum 250. I purchased this immediately after getting to fly one of the larger traction kites (Tensor 5.0) my cousin let me have a go at. I have no need for a full-fledged traction kite, but I really enjoyed the challenge of flying a kite that has enough pull to take you for a ride. I believe that the Tantrum 250 was the perfect compromise as far as price and size go. I typically fly in wind speeds between 12-15mph, and that is enough to get some good pull in gusts. I have flown it in winds a little plus of 15mph and it will definitely pull you – hard. Pretty smooth to fly in the 12-15mph range as the sail fills with the wind pretty easy. After researching the various parafoil-style kites that Prism offered, I bought the Synapse 200 about two weeks after I had bought the Tantrum 250; not because there was anything wrong with it, I just wanted something a bit more aerobatic that I could stick the 75’ tube tail on for eye candy. The 200 is definitely faster, and can pull loops, figure eights, etc. more easily than the 250. The 200 also has a much more forgivable pull than the 250, and that is the major difference between the two. The 250 can also pull off loops and figure eights, albeit slower/smoother than the 200. The trade-off is you get the experience of major traction with the 250; if you aren’t ready for it, a sudden gust can definitely pull you out of your shoes and I weigh ~180lb. With the 200, a big gust will simply register a casual “meh.” Bottom line. I really, really, like this kite. Super easy to pack up (less than 2 min), great pull, great look, definite eye catcher. Personally, I really like the control bar, but my girlfriend very much struggles to get the mechanics down. The 200 comes with strap handles and (honestly) it is easier to fly with the handles. I think that handles would allow you to perform faster aerobatics with the 250 as well. I will probably expand the collection to include the lower tier Synapse 140 (Cilantro) to complete the family.

heaps of fun
Style: 250
I hadn't even thought about writing about the durability. but yeah I crashed it into a pipe rack out behind my warehouse today and it was no worse for wear. as far as tensile strength, it dragged my 245 pound butt across the gravel today in 19 (gusting) mph winds. it's got some strong pull, it's super easy to handle, pretty forgiving in rough turbulent winds too. I started out with the prism synapse 1.6m kite and then moved to this one, and it's similar to fly, but different to handle with the control bar. not any harder, just a little different to get used to. I encourage this kite, you can fly as calmly as your like, or as aggressively and wildly as I do lol. watch out for overhead lines too...I had to ditch it into the street as I was crossing from the east park, across a crosswalk to the west because I didn't see the overhead lines behind me until my GF said "look out for the wires". so I crashed into the pavement and picked it up - in traffic - and walked it into the park.

Great two-line kite that will put a grin on your face
Style: 250
This is my second parafoil kite and it’s a great kite to bring with me every where I go. The kite pulls very hard and has a wide enough wind range to fly at almost any time. I weigh in the ball park of about 155lbs. In 20-25mph winds, I’ll lie on my stomach and the kite will drag me across the ground about 10-14 feet each pass through the high power zone. While on my feet I’m able to jump about the same distance forward. Jumping up is a bit difficult because the sail is not quite large enough to fall back down slow enough. It is possible however. This kite is quite the work out. I flew the kite all day in 15-25mph winds and the next day I was so sore that I was moving old man speed. In light winds (8-12mph) is probably the best for this kite because it won’t leave you bed locked the next day. This kite leaves a wide grin on my face every time I fly it. I without a doubt recommend this kite to anyone who is looking to get into kiting. There is one thing that could be a negative, however, it’s understandable. That is the durability, if you fly the kite correctly, it will last years. Avoid making the kite hit the ground leading edge first at full speed. Upon impact the internal pressure of the sail will increase exponentially and will make the sail tear after repeated collisions with the ground. So I highly recommend that you get used to the kite in light winds before testing your limits. My final thoughts are 10/10. A helpful hint: if you are flying alone, stake the control bar to the ground and set the kite in an L shape where there is tension on the lines and the first 1/3 of the sail is sticking up while the last 2/3 is on the ground. This will make launching very easy if you don’t have access to sand.

LOTS OF POWER!
Style: 250
I weight about 170lbs and with the afternoon wind at the beach, I was basically leaning back so I wouldn't be dragged with this powerful kite! It is a lot of fun, but remember to wear sunscreen as the sun isn't forgiven. I still haven't had a chance to do some skate kiting with this, but I'm sure it will be a lot of fun as well!

Not cheap, but an excellent value.
Style: 250
I picked the 250 up for my nephews, but flew it myself a bit too. It's a very well-made, elegantly designed product; you're getting your money's worth in spite of it being a relatively expensive sport kite. If you're used to two-line kites, you know how to fly it. If not, a few minutes with the included manual will show you the basics. At higher wind speeds it WILL drag you. I tip the scales at almost 6'7", 300 lbs, and it still pulled me forward on more than one occasion. Which of course is part of the reason kids love it; it's like fighting a huge fish or tug-o-war. The kite needs tension on both lines to keep its shape, so if the kite does manage to pull the control bar out of their hands, the kite will simply collapse and fall out of the sky. So, it gives them the thrill factor without any serious risk. (To the operator, anyway. The lines could be hazardous if you hit somebody with them at high speed, so keep everybody clear!) Although it's considered a trainer kite and bears a strong resemblance to traction and kiteboarding kites, it isn't suitable for power kiting since it's just a two-line (no depower.) All in all, the boys were thrilled (and the adults were impressed too!)
