Technical details

Resulting from the development of foil kites with variable angle of attack, the "Repower system" provides new piloting sensations for bladder kites. As they wanted to transfer the piloting smoothness of foil kites to the KOBRA and SKORPIO, the ADVANCE KITES development team designed the "Repower system". This enabled them to maintain the specific character of all ADVANCE paragliders and kites. In a turn, the KOBRA and the SKORPIO benefits from steady power with a minimum of variation, unlike a normal bladder boat kite, which slows down and loses power. The "Repower system" allows a real power boost. When you sheet in, the kite gives you further power, instead of stalling. If you depower, the kite looses power naturally. You will be able to appreciate the benefits of the "Repower system", for example when you are in an air pocket, as you will only need to sheet in not to lose power. These characteristics make piloting a pleasure and especially comfortable. It is very satisfying to become one with the kite, controlling it with the bar and smoothly managing the power - pure piloting pleasure! In order to get the best out of the "Repower system" when the wind is at the low end of the KOBRA and SKORPIO's range, we advise you to get out on the water, well clear of the beach, to take speed and then increase and decrease the kite trim (angle of incidence to the wind).
