<h2><strong>Take a look at the new Core XR7&nbsp;Kitesurfing Kite at S2AS!</strong></h2> <p><strong>High Performance Freeride+&nbsp;| Big Air | Freestyle&nbsp;| Wave</strong></p> <p>The latest kiting innovations from the industry-leading brand Core are put together in their brand new kitesurfing kite the XR7! Part of Core&#39;s Universal+ Series the XR7&nbsp;has a unique design that allows it to perform in&nbsp;all conditions and disciplines. Carrying across the incredible power, the unbelievable wind range the XR series is renowned for,&nbsp;the new XR7 receives some impressive handling upgrades allowing it to turn smoother, be more playful in the air and now boost even higher!</p> <p>With over fourteen years of development and many hundreds of prototypes tested in order to develop the Core XR&#39;s signature ride, the 7th model in the series&nbsp;is an astounding feat of engineering. Core will never realise a new version of a kite until they are absolutely certain that they have made the considerable improvements necessary to warrant replacing one of their kites, hence why there is often over 2 years between releases which also ensures that any Core kitesurfing kite will also hold a greater monetary value!</p> <p>Moreover, Frank Ilfrich, Core&#39;s head designer, knows how important it is not to lose the DNA that made&nbsp;the XR series what it is today and his team has succeeded again. The XR&#39;s linear responsiveness continues to deliver effortless cruising, record-breaking hangtime, and super smooth landings.</p> <p>XR7 sports more&nbsp;precise flight control and a new lighter build. After six years, Core&#39;s signature canopy material receives a major upgrade. CoreTex 2.0 now features massively improved tear resistance in both directions, weight savings making the kite almost 10% lighter, and a new emulsion that improves flight, durability, and longevity. The overall lighter construction is also due to the ExoTex Light Struts, a marginally lighter canopy along with the iterational shape and bridle improvements.</p> <p>The Bridle connection points and Strut geometry have been revised,&nbsp;small but crucial adjustments allow for even more control in high end, higher airspeed and better upwind capabilities, more pop and faster spin!</p> <p>The XR&#39;s legendary linear responsiveness continues to deliver effortless cruising, record-breaking hangtime, and super smooth landings. After seven generations, Core have dialed in the characteristics most kiters are looking for. Prodigious power. Unbelievable depower. And precise control on the water as in the air.</p> <p>Core&#39;s proven fabrics &ndash; CoreTex 2.0 and ExoTex &ndash; are exclusively used on the canopy and leading edge. Lead designer, Frank Ilfrich, went over every small detail and found weight savings in the leading edge, extra speed in the canopy, and efficiency improvements to our Speed Pump System. Frank and his team modified the strut curves to extract more stability especially when powered. The additional strut rigidity (and low-end grunt) required a small adjustment to the CIT bridle points to add a little more power steering.&nbsp;</p> <p>Lastly, it is always important to remember that Core holds stock of all spare parts for an industry-leading six years so that if the worst might ever happen to your new XR7&nbsp;Kite you can rest easy knowing that Core will be able to help you out!&nbsp;</p> <p>While newer kiters will enjoy the ease and large range of use, more experienced kitesurfers will feel much improved inflight stability. What&#39;s stopping you from getting out on one the world&#39;s best kitesurfing kites, the new Core XR7!</p> <h3><strong>Key Features:</strong></h3> <p><strong>Delta Bow Shape:&nbsp;</strong>Incorporating the trailing edge of a traditional bow kite and swept-back wings of a delta kite.

<h2><strong>Take a look at the new&nbsp;Core Nexus 2 Kitesurfing Kite (Black) at S2AS!</strong></h2> <p>Gone are the days of travelling to the beach with heaps of gear &mdash; a quiver of wave kites, a quiver of freestyle kites and a separate set of kites for boosting. Prepare to meet the Nexus 2 with the new Core&nbsp;ExoTex Light struts. An athletic kite that is never too cool to learn a new trick whether on a strapless surfboard or your dependable twintip, the Nexus 2 brings incredible versatility to wave and freestyle riding. The secret behind the Core Nexus 2&rsquo;s versatility is due to its highly refined three strut Future-C shape and proprietary materials that&nbsp;combines the proven surf profile of the Section with the kiteloop pedigree of the GTS.</p> <p>The Nexus 2, is technically billed as two kites in one, but we found at least three things it&rsquo;s really good at. Just set the kite&rsquo;s CIT Modes to match the beach conditions and go have fun. Be it hard cutbacks on your favourite wave or a sublime backroll, the Nexus 2 will excite your senses.</p> <p>Certainly, it&rsquo;s great in waves, with more lift than a Section so it boosts better as well, but the slackline control is still there in spades and you can mess with the settings. One way for Surf, the other for freestyle on which settings if you&rsquo;ve been trying that handles trick and not nailing it then chances are you will with the Nexus, it&rsquo;s a lot more forgiving, less punch in the face than say the GTS.</p> <p>Then in the middle settings, it&rsquo;s just a great freeride kite, what makes it good at waves and freestyle also means it excels for intermediates wishing to just go ride, or push their individual envelopes. It&rsquo;s not an XR5 so if you don&rsquo;t know how to jump, pick your kicker, load and release it&rsquo;s not going to take you to the moon like the XR5 will, but if you do know all that good stuff then it&rsquo;ll do it better as the guys found out in Cape Verde where they broke the island height record using it.</p> <p>Then there&rsquo;s foiling, lots of folks have spotted that what makes kites good in waves also makes them good on a foil, but there&rsquo;s a little bonus with the Nexus particularly when your foil taking upwind, it&rsquo;s extra lift in the vertical just gives you that extra through the tack, try one you&rsquo;ll see what we mean.&nbsp;</p> <p>So there you have it what&rsquo;s that? did we say three kites in one? Well maybe make that four.. and friendlier than the fire from a US AirForce Warthog.</p> <p>Nexus 2, always prepared!</p> <h3><strong>Key Features:</strong></h3> <ul> <li><strong>Future C-Shape:</strong> True C-kite feel. For snappy turns with a controlled and consistent pull.</li> <li><strong>CIT Modes:</strong> Fully adjustable kite handling characteristics.&nbsp;Wave mode makes the kite turn faster and increases depower, whilst Freestyle increases the trun radius and stabilizes the kite and adds a little extra grunt. The Nexus comes out of bag in the Allround mode that sits nicely between the two</li> <li><strong>Radical Reaction Tips:</strong> C-style shaped wingtips for faster bar response.</li> <li><strong>3 Strut Light Frame</strong>: Super light yet amazingly rigid and durable. Also able to initiate turns faster than a five-strut design important for wave riding</li> <li><strong>Exotex&reg; Ultra Rigid Dacron:&nbsp;</strong>Zero stretch airframe utilising a radical reinforcing thread pattern and protective coating process that allows for a higher pressure with a smaller diameter</li> <li><strong>Coretex Light Ripstop Canopy:</strong>&nbsp;Extreme durability and UV protection setting the benchmark for longevity and tear resistance</li> <li><strong>Exotex Light Struts:&nbsp;</strong>Ensures a lighter kite construction that drifts better and offers improved light wind performance&nbsp;</li> <li><strong>Surf Profile:</strong>&nbsp;Modified camber for improved drifting and balance.</li> <li><strong>Ultrashort Bridle System:</strong>&nbsp;Improved kite feedback.</li> <li><strong>Instant Relaunch:</strong>&nbsp;Reliable water starts in difficult conditions.</li> <li><strong>Radical Reaction Tips:</strong>&nbsp;C-style shaped wingtips for a faster, more agile kite.

<h2><strong>Take a look at the new Slingshot SST V5 Kitesurfing Kite at S2AS!</strong></h2> <p>The SST is the kitesurfing kite of choice for surfers, foilers, directional riders, downwind fanatics and general freeriders who value down the line drift, through the window speed and immediate reaction as their kite&rsquo;s most important flying characteristics.<br /> <br /> Think tow-in surfing. The SST V5 delivers the power and performance to get you into position, drifts like a feather as you ride down the line, then reengages with the flick of a wrist. These same qualities make the SST the perfect choice for foiling, when you want full feedback and responsive steering no matter how powered you are or what direction you&rsquo;re riding.</p> <h3><strong>Features:</strong></h3> <p>- 4x4 Canopy Tech: Teijin 4x4 reinforced ripstop material. This is the strongest, stiffest and most durable canopy material on the market. Your kite will last longer, have a higher resale value and feel more solid and stable in the air, especially in gusty wind.<br /> - 3 Strut Compact C Canopy: Provides the ideal balance between friendly and responsive handling with stability and smooth, sheet-and-go power delivery. A versatile shape that excels in all conditions.<br /> - Swept Wingtips: Helps the kite roll up on edge for quick and easy relaunch, give the kite a more reactive feel at the bar and reduce pivot radius for tight and fast turning and looping.<br /> - Condensed IRS Bridle: A minimalist bridle that provides the canopy support and structure in a condensed format that cannot get wrapped around a wingtip in the event the kite gets rolled or tumbled. Our patented IRS bridle incorporates a bungee segment that expands and contracts under load to give the kite added response and stability.<br /> - Multiple Attchement Points: Different attachment points integrated into the kite allow you to fine-tune handling, power and performance based on your riding style and the conditions of a particular session. Even small changes to these settings can make a big impact on the kite&rsquo;s overall performance, making this an important tool for getting the most out of your kite every time you ride.<br /> - Surf-Tough Construction: Reinforced seams and a strategic surf-grid canopy that isolates tears and reduces the chance of catastrophic blowouts in the event your kite goes through the wringer in the surf.<br /> - Split Strut: Integrates the kite canopy and struts into one firmly interconnected piece rather than the canopy being sewn over the strut like lesser designs. Split Strut creates a stronger, more stable and more durable canopy, enhances power under heavy load and creates efficiency and rigidity in the overall frame.<br /> - One Pump Speed System: Lets you inflate and deflate your kite through a central valve. If you ever had an older kite with separate strut valves, you&rsquo;ll know how much of a hassle it was.<br /> - Bomber Slingshot Construction: Kevlar scuff patches, reinforced Dacron trailing edge material, reinforced leading edge seams, diamond leech rear panel layout, canopy Mark Cloth attachment, 4x4 Canopy Tech, surf tough seams and panel layout.</p>

<h2><strong>Take a look at the new Ocean Rodeo Roam A-Series Aluula Ultra-Lite Frame Kitesurfing Kite at S2AS!</strong></h2> <p>A revolution in kite design that wil change the kitesurfing industry a material with zero stretch or distortion!<br /> <br /> The Roam featuring Aluula is simply a dream come true for freeride foilers and committed wave riders.<br /> <br /> Ground-breaking new Aluula composite material which weighs in at just 82 grams per square meter (78g/m&sup2; lighter than traditional&nbsp;Dacron), the material is 100% UV stable and virtually unrippable.&nbsp;This 3-strut kite with an ultra-light and strong Aluula air frame allows for precise sheeting control, snappy turns and on-demand kite positioning in light winds. And should the wind pick up, the stiffness of the airframe means that the kite&rsquo;s stability and precision control is retained.&nbsp;</p> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div>The widest and most accessible wind range ever seen, the Aluula Series kites allow for enhanced light wind performance and hold their shape and control in overpowered situations.&nbsp;Aluula remains rigid, with the low-stretch and quick-flex properties that reset any distortion significantly faster than traditional Dacron air frames. The result is improved control when reaching the kite&rsquo;s top end, and improved performance throughout the wind range.</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div> <div>The&nbsp;Aluula air frame delivers instant feedback not only from your bar input, but also from the wind,&nbsp;with gusts and lulls instantly transmitted to your control system, giving you the&nbsp;ability&nbsp;to maximize your kite&rsquo;s power, depower and turning&nbsp;potential, revolutionizing your kitesurfing experience.&nbsp;</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div>For freeride foiling, kite transitions on the Roam are achievable in the lightest of breezes, and with the deep, low aspect design coupled with the light Aluula air frame, the Roam will not luff or stall, even in complete slack-line situations.<br /> <br /> Unpredictable wind states and formerly unmakeable sections all become opportunities for the rider: the playing field is fully opened up by riding the Roam.</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> </div> <h3><strong>Materials:</strong></h3> <p>- Aluula: An all-new series of kites built with the Aluula BLACK material, which features a graphene-enhanced composite that weighs just 82gsm (grams per square meter). To compare, traditional Dacron that weighs around 150gsm. UV stable and virtually unrippable, the Aluula BLACK composite can also withstand higher inflation pressures. Alongside this, the Aluula bladder technology brings additional weight savings and performance gains: Aluula film weighs in at only 42gsm, compared to PU films that are traditionally in the 100gsm range. Inflated to a standard pressure of 8psi, the Aluula air frame is 50% stiffer than current Dacron/PU bladder air frames, with 20x more resilience to tearing against standard Dacron, and yet half the weight. The resulting stiffness combined with the extreme light weight delivered by Aluula transforms inflatable kites into precision control wings unlike anything we have experienced during our 20 years of kite design.<br /> <br /> With no need to reduce struts, a 3-strut Aluula frame kite becomes lighter than leading no-strut kites, and, with flex designed into the air frame, these ultra light 3-strut kites perform through the entire wind range, delivering new levels of performance for jumping, drifting, turning, and water relaunch. Aluula is so much more than light wind performance! The low stretch, quick flex properties of the Aluula Air Frame resits distortion signifcantly more than traditional Dacron air frames in over powered situations, delivering improved control when reaching the top end of the wind range. Voted Best Product of the soft equipment category at this Years ISPO.</p> <h3><strong>Structure:</strong></h3> <p>- Shape: Built for the dedicated wave rider with a moderate arc makes the roam a fast turning kite combined with a large sheeting range<br /> - Ratio: A low aspect ratio design and deep foil profile allow for maximum drift and low end power.<br /> - 3 Strut Frame: The Roam&rsquo;s 3 strut &ldquo;boxy&rdquo; frame results in its big lifting wingtips allowing the kite to effortlessly drift down the line while maintaining positive steering with tight pivot turns for ultra fast changes of direction. The entire frame is built with tested and proven KP-E dacron providing incredible strength, durability, and rigidity. Where our competition choose to reinforce their closing seams with only mark cloth, we use more KP-E because we believe reinforcement materials should be at least as strong as its base.<br /> - Bridles: A fixed short line bridle with a floating V design and a two pulley system creates direct and snappy response while also keeping bar pressure low. New to this generation are larks head loops on front bridles, and knots on the back lines making for an innovative system that stabilizes the leading edge. This allows the Roam to lift out of a loop and avoiding a stall for maximum climb</p> <h3><strong>Technologies:</strong></h3> <p>- Precision Curve Struts: Hold the designed foil shape delivering the desired performance through the wind range<br /> - Armortex Abrasion Guard: Ultra-light, non fraying, and abrasion resistant, these Kevlar/ nylon blend scuff protection pads deliver a streamlined no snag profile throughout the kite<br /> - Ultralite Construction: We use a blend of state of the art fabrics and components in order to bring to you the lightest and toughest kites we&rsquo;ve ever made.
