Prism Mentor 2.5

Sale price$259.99Regular price $279.99

The Prism Mentor 2.5 is a versatile three-line traction kite designed to introduce pilots to the power of wind-driven adventure without the complexity of traditional four-line systems. Whether you're exploring kite buggying, landboarding, paddleboarding, beach dragging, or simply learning traction flying, the Mentor 2.5 delivers smooth, manageable power and exceptional control. Its innovative three-line design allows you to stop, reverse, and relaunch the kite with ease, opening up a wider range of flying possibilities. Built with advanced ram-air technology, the wing maintains its shape for stable performance and forgiving handling. The water-relaunchable design makes it especially appealing for beach and watersport environments. For pilots seeking an approachable entry into traction kiting, the Mentor 2.5 offers an outstanding combination of power, safety, and versatility.

Advanced Three-Line Control System

The Mentor 2.5 uses a unique three-line control system that provides capabilities not found in traditional dual-line traction kites. The third line allows pilots to stop the kite mid-flight, reverse direction, and fly backwards for greater control and easier landings. This functionality makes launching, maneuvering, and recovering the kite significantly easier for newer pilots. The additional control also opens the door to more advanced flying techniques and creative maneuvers. Because the kite can be slowed or reversed instantly, pilots gain greater confidence while learning traction skills. This innovative system combines simplicity with impressive performance.

Water Relaunchable Ram-Air Design

Unlike conventional parafoils that can collapse after contact with water, the Mentor 2.5 is engineered to maintain internal air pressure for consistent shape and performance. Monofilament profile supports at the leading edge help preserve the airfoil structure, while one-way air intake valves allow air in while preventing it from escaping. This design keeps the wing inflated and stable during flight. When flying near water, the kite can float for extended periods, allowing for safer operation over beaches, lakes, and coastal environments. The ability to relaunch after a water landing expands the range of activities the kite can support. This makes it ideal for paddleboarding, body dragging, and other kite-powered water adventures.

Complete Ready-to-Fly Package

The Mentor 2.5 comes fully equipped with everything needed to begin flying immediately. Included are low-stretch Dyneema flying lines, a control bar, safety leash system, compression storage bag, and a stainless steel ground stake. The quick-release safety system allows the kite to instantly depower if conditions become overwhelming. Simply release the control bar and the kite safely settles while remaining attached to your wrist. The included accessories are designed to work together seamlessly for a complete flying experience. This all-inclusive package eliminates the need for additional purchases before heading out to fly.
