 Great parafoil for both the learner and experienced May 30, 2010
By Christian Lenoir
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2F08EPYPGEOUT I bought this a few weeks ago and just got to test this at the beach yesterday at Galveston, TX. I can say this kite is LOADS of fun. The pull is not too strong, yet it is comfortably fun, which additionally gave my wife confidence enough to try it (she got it up in the air at her first attempt!). The kite is very portable, with a nice pouch you can carry anywhere (eg: your day backpack). It is also pretty indestructible: I played around for about 2 hs and probably crashed it straight on the sand about 4 times, and upon inspection, no signs of wear, damage or alike were visible. As one of the reviewers commented, my kite also had one string a few inches shorter, but not bothersome enough to go through the hassle of returning the product. Flying it was easy and comfortable. Also starting it from the ground after crashing it required no outside help: just a few tugs and it was up again. Landing it was real easy: I found you can just glide parallel to the ground towards the sides, where the sail loses lift (lines almost perpendicular to wind) and was able to hover 6 ft above ground til my wife cought, hence preventing even more sand on the kite and lines (which is not adviseable!). Unspooling the lines I did not find was any trouble, as I just held the spool with my finger from a little hole it comes with, and walked back while the lines unfolded almost automatically. Winding the line up again did not take as long as expected. I would highly recommend this product. Once I manage to tame it, I will probably move up to a 1.9 or 2.5.

Great Kite! Feb 02, 2011

I own all of the Prism Snapshot kites. The 1.2 is a very fast flying and fun kite. It higher winds it takes some agility to manage the speed, but in calmer winds (5-12mph) it is a kite that a flyer of any age or skill will enjoy.
If you plan to take it out it very high wind (20+ mph) I recommend buying or using higher pound test line, the Prism line will break.

Awesome Beginner's Kite Apr 22, 2010
By S. Maeller
My wife was having trouble adapting to 2 line kits so I got her a Snapshot 1.2 based on the reviews I read. Those reviews were correct! She had this kite up and flying on her 1st attempt and had no trouble keeping it in the air. I flew it and while it's not as physically challenging as my Prism Quantum, it was just as much fun. Now I want a Snapshot, maybe a 2.5. This kite is very easy to fly and yet VERY fun to fly; even for someone who is more experienced flying stunt kites.

Awesome Kite!!! Definately Worth Every Penny!!! Jun 17, 2010
By Tech Dude
I bought this kite to fly on the beach, and I couldn't be happier with it. Prism is one of the best kite manufacturers in the world in my opinion, and it's the only brand of kite that I fly. This was my first experience with a speed foil kite, but after a few minutes of practice, I was performing loops and skimming the ground with this kite. I like it so much because it is extremely compact and easily packs into any bag, it is extremely easy to fly, and it looks beautiful in the sky as well. It has a surprisingly strong pull, but it does not pull strong enough to be scary or dangerous, or to drag you down the beach. You can easily pick a spot and stay put though you may find yourself digging your heels in the sand on a windy day. I absolutely recommend this kite to anyone, and after owning this kite, I already bought a snapshot 2.5. I also own an EO6 which I would also recommend for smaller kids. You can't go wrong with this kite, or this price on Amazon! : )

GREAT STARTER! Easy learning curve! FUN FUN FUN! Nov 24, 2010
By Frank E. Trinkle
Years ago, we used to fly controllable paper kites to pass the time when the wind was too strong to skydive. Those old kites lasted until the first time you really crashed one back into the ground,where they ended up as a broken mess.
The Prism Snapshot 1.2 was purchased because I wanted to show off to my 3 year-old, and standard paper kites were just too boring.
The kite came in a nice reusable pouch with everything needed to get it up in the air....except wind. It was smaller than I had anticipated, but that became mute when, once in the air, I was able to feel the power that this kite produces. The learning curve was quick and easy, and I had no problem learning to control the kite within a few minutes.
The real benefit of the kite is that if you crash it into the ground, there is never any damage due to the total elimination of struts or bars. Simply tug a couple of times so it can re-catch the wind, and you're sailing away!
My son has been enthralled by watching the kite go through its paces, and he demands to "help" control it by standing with me holding my hands. A great way to share some fun at the beach with my kid!
While I may step up to a larger kite in the near future, this one will remain as my "speedo", and as my son gets older, he may "inherit" it when large enough not to get carried away!
Super fun! Five stars without hesitation!!!
