MODERN CRAFTSMANSHIP “Every kite we make is still built by hand by the most experienced kite craftsmen and women in the world.” The art of making kites is a centuries old craft.

Yet, despite the fact that our kites are built with such exact tolerances and precision, each and every kite we make is still built by hand by the most experienced kite craftsmen and women in the world. The craft of making kites that fly perfectly is one half science and one half...

TAKE YOUR RIDING INTO More Performance in seconds The Overdrive control bar can adjust a full 8 cm in length in seconds. Unlike other bars on the market, the Overdrive bar starts with a shorter bar length and can expand to the larger length if you wish. There is no reason to carry around all that extra bar if you prefer to ride on the standard setting. The 49cm standard bar setting is great for smaller kites, or if you would like the kite to be less reactive. By easily switching the bar into the Overdrive™ mode the length changes a full 8 cm to 57cm and immediately increases the turning...

IDS vs. 1X BRIDLE LESS IS MORE THE 1X bridle brings an upgrade in kite steering and control. The new system uses less moving points on the bridling which translates into direct input from rider to kite and incredibly precise steering. * All bridles except for Vector have 2 pulleys. 1X BRIDLE + 2 MOVING POINTS + LESS PULLEYS + MORE RESPONSIVE + FASTER TURNING

COMPLETE SHUTDOWN IN ALL CONDITIONS The 1X is not a depower system, it is a full blown shut down system. The 1X relies on only one line to immediately shut down the power of the kite in any condition.

MULTI-BORE TUBING Greater tension is applied to alternate lines creating greater twist in the kite. More twist means faster turning & increased response. DIRECT STEERING. MORE RESPONSIVE. FASTER TURNING. We have lowered the front line connection to the CAS in order to provide a more direct and immediate response from your bar input. Equal forces from all four control lines allow a natural and relaxed position for the arc shape to open. This more natural, or less altered angle, makes both sheeting and steering more responsive. As you steer the kite you apply tension to the rear corner of the...
