Prismatex Series Special Release
 
On rare occasions, Canvas Kite Designs will release a Prismatex (Holographic Mylar Laminate) and Icarex (PC-31) sail of one of our currently offered models. These are sold on a first come, first serve basis, and limited to one per customer, per release. The Prismatex Series will be made in gratitude to Erv Crosby and Reggie Yaplee for both owning and properly storing the inventory of the Four Winds Kite Shop, which was purchased by Canvas Kite Designs in 2022.
 
What is Prismatex?
Prismatex is a holographic mylar laminate that is a subcategory of mylar. Like mylar, Prismatex has ultra-low stretch and drag qualities, yielding higher response and feedback over the wind range. The holographic laminate brilliantly shines in rainbow fractals when light passes through it. As Prismatex is a different material from Icarex, it is important for us at CKD to distinguish  differences in sail composition before your purchase. 
 
Discontinued over a decade ago, Prismatex is not only extremely sought after, but was widely used in high performance kites from Bob Childs, Erv Crosby at the Four Winds Kite Shop, and the ultra-limited run of the Sky Burner Solus EC - a collaboration between Devin, the Trennepohl family, Pam Kirk, and Mike Dennis. 
 
Prismatex material will NOT be offered for custom orders. These limited-edition releases should be considered both high performance sport kites and collector pieces.
 
Please specify standard or ultralight framing at checkout in the notes section, and check our social media regularly for teasers and future release announcements.
