Product Description

Ready to fly with a dual-line control bar, Tantrum parafoils are speedy, ruggedly built, and a blast to fly - you’ll be digging your heels in as the breeze picks up! Perfect trainers for traction kiting, kiteboarding, or all-around fun, they’ll teach you solid kite handling skills before you take on the serious pull of a full-sized water or traction kite. In stronger winds, the Tantrum’s high aspect, low-drag airfoil delivers impressive speed and more than enough power to drag you down the beach with an adrenaline-stoked grin. Use the included safety leash in case things get too wild - just let go of the bar and the kite will settle safely to the ground while tethered to your wrist. Choose the 220 for stronger winds and quicker turns, or the 250 for heavier pilots and lighter winds. Beautifully crafted by the kite experts at Prism Designs. With 25 years in flight, we’re committed to sharing the joy of kites with exquisitely designed, long-lasting products and all the info and support you need to have a blast in the wind.

Tantrum

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. You’ll be digging your heels in as the breeze comes up. Perfect trainers for traction kiting, kiteboarding, or all-around fun, they’ll teach you solid kite handling skills and keep you on your toes as you carve up the sky. Frameless design makes setup easy and withstands those unplanned landings as you learn.

  • Speedy and hard pulling in stronger winds
  • All-fabric wing is ready to fly, right out of the bag
  • Padded control bar and safety leash keep it safe and easy for beginners
About dual-line parafoils

These frameless wings inflate as they fly, into efficient airfoils that carve up the sky like a blade. They’re fast but forgiving for beginners, fully maneuverable and you’ll need to hang on tight in a good breeze. With no hard parts to lose or break, our parafoils are built tough so you can crash while you learn and share them safely with anyone who wants to go for a ride.

A full-body workout on two lines

When the wind picks up, the Tantrum delivers impressive speed and than enough power to drag you down the beach with an adrenaline-stoked grin. Get ready to lean back and hold on.

Which size is right for me?

Choose the 220 for more speed, quicker turns and stronger winds. The 250 flies slower but pulls harder, great for heavier pilots and lighter winds.

Padded Control Bar

Padded control bar for a comfortable, stable grip. Easier for learning than wrist straps, It makes basic control simple and won’t strain your wrists when the wind comes up.

Frameless Construction

Spend less time assembling and more time flying. With no rigid parts to assemble, lose or break, soft parafoils are forgiving to fly and easy to set up- just unwind your lines and fly.

Two sizes

Choose speed and quicker turns with the 220, or the 250 for heavier pilots and stronger pull in lighter winds.

Safety Leash

Getting pulled too hard? Just let go. The included safety leash and wrist strap keeps the kite from blowing away as it settles to the ground, ready to reset and launch again.

heaps of fun
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.

Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2017
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.
