Kitty Hawk Kites Welcomes Mark Reed/Prism

Maybe some of you know him, maybe some of you don’t, but the team at Kitty Hawk Kites got a chance to meet Mark Reed, President of Prism Designs Inc., this April in Nags Head, North Carolina. Not only did we meet him, we got a chance to see some of his tricks and hear some of his flying tips!

Mark Reed is one of the founders of Prism Designs Inc. and he has been designing and producing world-renowned stunt kites for the last 14 years. New to the kite lineup for 2006 is the Stylus P.4 Stunt Foil Kite.

The Kitty Hawk Kites Team goes to great lengths to provide our customers with information and product knowledge to help guide you to the right kite, toy, or recreational adventure. We want you to know taking a half-day on Jockey’s Ridge State Park to learn and fly kites from one of the world’s best kite designer and pilot, Mark Reed, is fun and work, helping us to help you!

Kitty Hawk Kites would like to thank Mark Reed for taking the time to visit and fly with us on the Outer Banks and we invite you to view all of the Prism Design kites at our online store, click here>>>>

Mark is the guy on the left teaching.

  6. Always launch at the edge of the wind window in strong wind
  7. Never fly in winds that are too strong for your skill level or equipment
  8. Check all your equipment for wear and tear before each flight - repair or replace as necessary or visit your local dealer if unsure
  9. Never fly your kite near overhead power cables, overhead telephone lines, trees, roads, airports, cars, railways or fly in extreme weather conditions, in thunder, in lightning or at night
