RELAUNCH SAFETY
Whether you ride unhooked, spin, try a water relaunch for the first time or practice a handle pass, all maneuvers, including the latest tricks, can now be performed with the safety leash of the 5th Element . As soon as you pull the Iron-Heart or let go of the bar it slides up the safety line. The kite is then completely de-powered and comes down without twisting the lines. >
RELAUNCH
5th Element The also allows you to relaunch the Rhino and Rebel in light winds. 5th Element allows you to re-launch the North Kites without having to swim towards the kite. From the nose down position, simply pull the 5th line towards you to get the kite to tip onto it’s back while simultaneously pulling one back line. The kite will make it’s way to the edge of the window and take off. The >
PERFORMANCE
The 5th Element stabilizes the kite’s arc and thus clearly increases per-formance. Enhanced profile stiffness brings considerable advantages in depowered situations and increases the kite’s wind range. As a result, the kite flies closer to the edge of the wind window and responds more directly to steering impulses. >
