Fly a kite anywhere and anytime with the Prism 4D Kite. The 58" wingspan makes flying in tight quarters with ease and at barely 2.5 ounces; its super-light weight gives it the buoyancy to stay aloft in swirling breezes and even indoors. The 4-D's predecessor, the 3-D, set the world endurance record for indoor flying, and the 4-D improves upon it with more pull and stability as well as a much wider wind range that's truly impressive for such a lightweight kite. The 4-D's high-modulus frame is made from solid carbon rather than delicate tubes, super-stiff but tough enough to bend in a circle without breaking. Light and ready for flying indoors by simply walking backwards, but the Prism 4D Kite is also durable enough to be flown in 15 mph winds.
