imranipatel Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 What are Alternative kites to quantum pro? Looking for pros cons and alternative dual line kite to prism quantum pro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadge Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Lots of alternatives out there it depends on what you actually want the kite to do. Do you want a precise accurate competition kite for performing patterns?. Or a freestyle tricky kite for kite tricks? or something in between the two?

Roobarb Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 The Hydra by Paul DeBakker or even JB's Kymera (both produced by ITW) are great alternative competition kites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Dowler Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Don't get "married" to just looking at Prism kites!! There are plenty of manufacturers out there making a lot of other choices too! Prism makes a great product, but so too do others! My advice is to look at all your options before deciding on any one kite!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3wrapframe Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 The R-Sky Nirvana is a good one. The Kymera and Hydra are great kites (Shout out to Paul and John) in a great price range but I believe they only have 1 model, a std. No vent or sul. If u plan on competing or even just demoing you need to be ready for all wind conditions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captainbob Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Isn't this forum for kite reviews rather than questions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3wrapframe Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 It's for connecting kite flyers together IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3wrapframe Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 We have a potentially new kite flyer in the kiting community, I will answer any questions in any forum. Sorry if that does not work for all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmadz Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Maybe JB can move the thread when he gets a chance, but it's a minor detail when courting new kite fliers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobB Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 It is hard to beat the QPro in the precision game, but it is a difficult kite to fly well. I'm still working on getting the most out of my QPro after owning 5 of them in the last 10 years. Skyburner makes a few kites that are close to the precision of the QPro, but can trick with more forgiveness to the pilot. A great all-around kite from them is the Solus, and it's a little bigger than the QPro, if you count that as an advantage. Skyburner's Delta Drive is known for it's precision, and the best all-around forgiving kite is the Widow Maker. If you're not a Skyburner fan, Sky Sport Design makes some great kites that trick & have good precision. They're a little pricey, though. Consider the Kymera by ITW, as well. It's a little smaller than the QPro, but can cut sharp turns & trick. It is also good bang for the buck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Maybe JB can move the thread when he gets a chance, but it's a minor detail when courting new kite fliers. So moved, carry on discussion - questions are always welcome! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
