Anyone have a Prism Tensor 4.1?

New to the sport, I did some small research came to the conclusion the Tensior would be a good kite, because it has a bar and quad line.
any thoughts? I raced motocross my whole life, so I am by no means new to extreme stuff/sports. This is also my first post so thank you for any imput.
PS. In the picture is my niece, with her Beamer 3M.

Are you looking for a used Tensor 4.1? If so, this might have been better posted in the Wanted section of the forum.

If you already have a Beamer 3M and are looking at a kite for jumping you might be better served by a kite with a bit more lift like the Peter Lynn Twister.

If you are tempted by the Bar/Combo handle of the Tensors, Prism sells the Tensor bar/handle package by itself for around $75.00. However, I am not sure if they are particularly suited for jumping, someone with some flight time on them might be able to tell you how comfortable they would feel jumping with them.

The Tensors really only hit the market towards the beginning of the year, so the number of pre-owned ones available are going to be a bit scarce.

Hope that helps.

ATB,

Thanks, I am just looking for some more information about the Tensor, from someone who already owns one?
