<h2><strong>Take a look at the new Core XR7 Kitesurfing Kite at S2AS!</strong></h2> <p><strong>High Performance Freeride+ | Big Air | Freestyle | 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's Universal+ Series the XR7 has a unique design that allows it to perform in all conditions and disciplines. Carrying across the incredible power, the unbelievable wind range the XR series is renowned for, 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's signature ride, the 7th model in the series 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's head designer, knows how important it is not to lose the DNA that made the XR series what it is today and his team has succeeded again. The XR's linear responsiveness continues to deliver effortless cruising, record-breaking hangtime, and super smooth landings.</p> <p>XR7 sports more precise flight control and a new lighter build. After six years, Core'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, 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'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's proven fabrics – CoreTex 2.0 and ExoTex – 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. </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 Kite you can rest easy knowing that Core will be able to help you out! </p> <p>While newer kiters will enjoy the ease and large range of use, more experienced kitesurfers will feel much improved inflight stability. What's stopping you from getting out on one the world's best kitesurfing kites, the new Core XR7!</p> <h3><strong>Key Features:</strong></h3> <p><strong>Delta Bow Shape: </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 Ocean Rodeo Crave HL-Series Kitesurfing Kite at S2AS!</strong></h2> <p>The all-new Crave is designed with the needs of the kitesurfer who wants to get the very most out of their equipment. Its nimble, three-strut design provides insanely quick handling and enables you to place the kite exactly where you need it to be. In fact, it was designed to meet the demands of GKA Pro Wave Tour riders.<br /> <br /> Prototypes of the Crave have been rigorously tested and proven at all the 2018/19 Tour stops to date, with top results in both strapless freestyle and pure wave events. The Crave’s signature down-the-line drift is enhanced with refined LE tube diameters and strut shaping. The arc and foil shape has been fine-tuned to deliver the perfect balance of drift and upwind performance, providing a fast turnaround and getting you back to the take-off zone in double time.</p> <p>The Crave is fitted with Forward Swept Tips (FST) delivering crisp, nimble, and controlled kite loops, ensuring world class performance for strapless freestyle riding. Ocean Rodeo have also integrated a broad wingtip design to allow for lightning-quick water relaunches and maximum flying control, even when the kite is at the extreme edges of the window.<br /> <br /> The Crave HL-Series is built as light as possible while retaining the ability to take a beating in the surf. At 20% lighter than most industry-standard Dacron framed wings, the HL Series kites use the first hybrid air-frame construction. Aluula high-pressure struts are ultra-light and the rugged Dacron leading edge is reinforced with Aluula allowing for a significantly slimmer diameter that can be pumped to a much higher pressure than Dacron alone!</p> <p>20% Lighter than the 2020 Dacron-Series kites, the new HL-Series kites are the second lightest inflatable kites in the world, second only to Ocean Rodeo’s A-Series kite range!</p> <p>This combination of Aluula and Dacron 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’s stability and precision control is retained. This credible new construction delivers instant feedback not only from your bar input, but also from the wind, with gusts and lulls instantly transmitted to your control system, giving you the ability to maximize your kite’s power, depower and turning potential, revolutionizing your kitesurfing experience. </p> <p>Not only has the Crave received improvements from the integration of the Aluula material, but it also benefits from improvements to all the seams and bladders, to further minimise weight and ensure durability! </p> <p>Built as light as possible, while retaining the ability to take a beating in the surf and the strength to hold its shape through even the most demanding Big Air manoeuvres.<br /> <br /> Whether you are wave-riding and want a kite that will turn on a dime and keep you in the pocket, or for committed sending, predictable performance and power on tap, the Crave HL-Series is the kite for you.</p> <p>“The Crave is definitely my favourite kite. The Hybrid Light construction along with the refined wing tips on this year’s model has just taken the kite to the next level. It feels more reactive and the power delivery and turning is noticeably smoother.” – <em>Reece Myerscough, Ocean Rodeo Team Rider</em></p> <h3><strong>Materials:</strong></h3> <ul> <li><strong>Aluula: </strong>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.</li> <li><strong>Dimension Polyant K-PE Dacron:</strong> Dimension Polyant’s K-PE dacron utilizes PEN (polyethylene naphthalate) fibres in the warp direction. PEN has a higher modulus than polyester and these fabrics exhibit approximately 30 to 40% lower stretch than their polyester equivalents. This makes K-PE the ideal choice for kite dacron where low stretch is a top priority. </li> <li><strong>Teijin Techno Force D2 Ripstop:</strong> Designed specifically for the kiteboarding market, Teijin’s Technoforce D2 Ripstop has high tear resistance, low stretch, and is incredibly lightweight. Each Strand of yarn is individually coated before being woven together. A second surface coating is then applied to the material, providing long term endurance.

<h2><strong>Take a look at the new Core XR7 LW Kitesurfing Kite at S2AS!</strong></h2> <p><strong>High Performance Freeride+ | Freestyle | Wave</strong></p> <p>Everyone in kiting has experienced those days when the wind just tempts us. The XR7 LW takes out the guesswork of whether or not you can ride, because you with this kite you most certainly can!</p> <p>More muscle, less weight! This is the new XR7 LW. The trusty lightwind performer that brings out the best of you. The XR7 LW inherits all the power and ridiculous wind range of the legendary XR7 while receiving noticeable weight-saving upgrades like ExoTex Light struts and leading edge. And Core swapped out the canopy material for CoreTex 2.0 that gives the XR7 LW more punch.</p> <p>With over fourteen years of development and many hundreds of prototypes tested in order to develop the Core XR's signature ride, the 7th model in the series 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's head designer, knows how important it is not to lose the DNA that made the XR series what it is today and his team has succeeded again. The XR's linear responsiveness continues to deliver effortless cruising, record-breaking hangtime, and super smooth landings.</p> <p>The XR7 LW’s DNA is packed with innovative technology like CoreTex 2.0, ExoTex Light, and Intelligent Arc that supercharges its performance. CoreTex 2.0 improves tear resistance, durability, and most importantly flight stability. CORE’s exclusive ExoTex Light Dacron reduces leading edge weight while maintaining its shape in gusts. And Intelligent Arc massively expands its wind range. We could go on, but we prefer that you find out for yourself how you and your squadron can rule the light wind skies with the XR7 LW.</p> <p>The Bridle connection points and Strut geometry have been revised, 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'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's proven fabrics – CoreTex and ExoTex – 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. </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 Kite you can rest easy knowing that Core will be able to help you out!</p> <p>What's stopping you from getting out on one the world's best kitesurfing kites, the new Core XR7!</p> <p>With over fourteen years of development and many hundreds of prototypes tested in order to develop the Core XR's signature ride, the 7th model in the series is an astounding feat of engineering.

This creates a greater depower and full power for better boosting, upwindability and earlier planing. Further improvements have allowed for even more pop and higher airspeeds.</p> <p><strong>5 Strut Frame: </strong>Lightwind kites require a stable screen in order to quickly gain reliable flow and propulsion. The XR6 Lw relies upon the tried and tested 5-Strut design for a stronger, stiffer and all-round more dynamic profile. Having been redesigned for the XR6 the struts have new geometry and seam guide, for more control, lift and hangtime without increasing the overall weight</p> <p><strong>CIT Modes: </strong>Allows the kitesurfer to adapt the kite to their riding preferences, with three different modes: Wave, Freestyle and Allround, for optimal revving and steering forces</p> <p><strong>Exotex® Slim Struts: </strong>Zero stretch airframe utilising a radical reinforcing thread pattern and protective coating process that allows for a higher pressure with a smaller diameter</p> <p><strong>Coretex® Light:</strong> Exclusive to Core this ripstop material is a lighter weight fabric which provides incredible breaking strength and tear resistance</p> <p><strong>Ultralight Wingtips:</strong> ExoTex Dacron provides weight saving on the leading and trailing edge whilst protecting trhe areas that come into contact with beach</p> <p><strong>Intelligent Arc: </strong>Designed to anticipate your desires in the air, by changing the projected area more up to more than 10%, pull on the bar and the kite spreads out its tips like wings, push it away and the kite pulls back in. Allowing the XR6 LW to seamlessly transition from big air boosting machine to precision turning instrument</p> <p><strong>Short Bridle System: </strong>Allows the XR6 LW to respond to the riders control impulses in a flash, resulting in perfectly linear depower, extremely dynamic flight and turning characteristics</p> <p><strong>Speed Valve 2: </strong>The Speed Valve 2 connects directly to any standard 20mm OD twist lock pump hose. The Speed Valve 2 maximizes airflow, minimizes inflation times and noticeably reduces pump pressure. This inflation/deflation system is so good you may even have the energy for an extra trick or two.</p> <p><strong>Speed Pump System: </strong>Fully pumped in no time. Huge air hoses and strut valves allow uninhibited air flow. And when you haven't kited in a few days, every second counts :)</p> <p><strong>Instant Relaunch: </strong>Reliable water starts in difficult conditions.</p> <p><strong>Sensor Bar Ready:</strong> For maximum kite feedback and control pair this kite with a Sensor 3 or 3 Pro Bar</p> <p><strong>6 Year Parts Availability: </strong>Core's Industry leading durability is backed by a 6-year replacement parts guarantee</p> <p>No product reviews yet.</p>
<h2><strong>Take a look at the new Flysurfer SOUL 2 Kitesurfing Kite now available at S2AS!</strong></h2> <p>Break boundaries with the ultimate all-rounder! The new SOUL 2 is built with TX-Light to keep weight down and improve performance. Its versatility is what makes it so popular – whether you are looking for a friendly kite for foiling, light wind performance, or big air boosting and hangtime – the SOUL is the one.</p> <p>The legendary flight characteristics paired with the highest level of user-friendliness offer maximum performance for every style. Sporty or comfortable, a kite that takes your riding to the next level. The SOUL offers confidence-inspiring stability, intuitive handling, maximum durability, and lasting value for many years. Always choose the right kite and make your free time pure enjoyment!</p> <p>Get your hands on the legendary all-rounder foil kite with impressive handling and exceptional performance! Regardless of ability and use, its versatility always makes the SOUL the right choice. Its sporty feeling is perfect for ambitious kiters who push their limits. The easy start and restart behavior are essential for those who want to switch from L.E.I. to foil kites. It confidently fulfills the requirements of a light wind weapon and a big air machine. The real strength of the SOUL is its breathtaking and addicting jumping performance.</p> <p>The small pack size is extremely convenient for traveling and makes everyday use more comfortable. The meticulously handcrafted TX-Light construction gives the SOUL its aerodynamic efficiency, superb stability, and its striking, sporty design. The high-quality materials are supported by essential maintenance features for long-term use and increase value retention.</p> <p>Do not set any limits, go out and spend more time in nature to turn each of your sessions into a SOUL session!</p> <h3><strong>Features:</strong></h3> <ul> <li><strong>Smart Performance Construction: </strong>Particularly good aging resistance, high tear resistance, additional ripstop threads, and enormous stiffness at only 33g / m² make the TX-Light fabric perfect for the upper and lower sails of our foil kites. Inside, the TX-Light Hardfinish fabric enables increased use of cross ports. The leading edge consists of 44g / m² DLX + fabric which better protects against abrasion and sharp-edged objects. Every fabric is optimized for its use, from UV-resistant surfaces and air-impermeable coatings to absorbent properties to improve airflow when wet.</li> <li><strong>Camber Trim System: </strong>Bridle levels of the kite are controlled by the mixer, a pulley system which modulates the angle of attack and the profile camber. The mixer features the two-ring camber trim system. Moving the rings changes the relationship between the B or C level relative to the A level. The profile of the foil kite can be trimmed to be either flat or curved.</li> <li><strong>4 Level Ram Air Technoloy: </strong>(A, B, C, Z) distributes the forces over the entire profile depth of the foil kite and perfectly meets the requirements of a freeride product. Controlling the 4 levels via the mixer improves turning and supports relaunching. The foil kite changes its angle of attack as well as the profile camber without any loss of stability.</li> <li><strong>High Pressure Air Intake: </strong>The air intakes are integrated into the leading edge and ensure the optimal dynamic pressure in our foil kites. After the foil kite is filled with air, the walls of the air intake are automatically pressed together. The self-deflating is prevented, and the kite holds its wing shape.</li> <li><strong>Reflex Profile: </strong>The reflex profile keeps the foil kite stable at a low angle of attack and at full acceleration. The counter-arching pushes the trailing edge down and prevents a front stall. The reflex profile is essential for controlling and depowering a foil kite.</li> <li><strong>Automatic Drainage System: H</strong>ides in the internal construction of our closed-cell foil kites. Dirt, water and small objects that got inside the kite slide automatically from the middle section to the wingtips. They exit the kite through two big holes at the trailing edge of the wingtips.</li> <li><strong>Bridle Check Tool: </strong>The bridle check tool makes it easier to compare the bridle line lengths. At each level (A, B, C, Z), on each wing side of the foil kite, black markings make comparing front and back main line lengths easy (see line plan). To restore the flight characteristics, length differences between B and C levels relative to A level must be annulled by moving the rings on the mixer. To maintain performance and stability, we recommend regularly checking using the bridle check tool, if the product is used intensively.</li> <li><strong>Profile Momentum Adjuster: </strong>The PMAs are knot ladders that are sewn onto the profile in inside the foil kite. They sit on the upper and lower sail between the A and B levels. By shortening the knot ladders, the profile camber can be adjusted, which gives the foil kite more performance or stability. If a change is made, it should be made symmetrically. We recommend the help of a FLYSURFER sales partner to ensure correct settings of the Profile Momentum Adjuster.</li> </ul> <h3><strong>Comparsion to other Flysurfer Kites:</strong></h3> <ul> <li><strong>V.s Soul 1: </strong>The SOUL 2 is more durable and user-friendly. In direct comparison to its predecessor, it is easier to launch, has better handling in low wind, and sits more compact in the air. The SOUL2 feels more powerful from the get-go and gives direct feedback. Experienced kiters / dealers can use the Camber Trim System (Mixer) and the Profile Momentum Adjuster (PMA) to adjust the SOUL to personal preferences. Stability, power, and bar feed-back remain.</li> <li><strong>V.s Sonic 3: </strong>The SOUL sits deeper in the wind window and is better suited for the first jumps, to get going, for unhooked tricks, and jibing on the hydrofoil. The overflying is lower, the wingtips are more stable and the turning is tighter (pivots less). The SOUL is the better choice especially in gusty winds and is particularly suitable in strong winds and for snow / land kiting. The SONIC needs more experience to fully exploit its strengths. We recommend the SONIC to riders for whom maximum performance is the top criteria.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><img alt="Wind Range SOUL2" src="https://flysurfer.com/files/2021/04/SOUL2-Windrange.jpg" /></p>

The wingtip design prevents back stalling, while the increased linear power delivery has made it even more suitable for freeriding, freestyle, and wave riders alike.</p> <h3><strong>Materials: </strong></h3> <p>- Airush Load Frame V4 Featuring Webtech: The Airush Load Frame, featuring WebTech, has been the key to setting the ultimate benchmark in durability without compromising on weight. By expanding our exclusive Load Frame with WebTech throughout the areas normally occupied by Dacron, we are able to minimize or completely remove the heavier fabric, and utilize the ballistic high-modulus polyethylene web fibers instead – increasing strength and minimizing weight.<br /> - Intergrated High Modulus Polyethylene Yarns: Central to the concept of the Load Frame are the lightweight Ultra High Modulus yarns, of which every single yarn can carry 40kg. Think of them as a lightweight web with engineered energy absorption under load, similar to a spider’s web. These yarns are integrated into the canopy through reinforced taping that allows them to elongate under extreme load, absorbing most of the shock that would have typically run through the canopy. At the same time, they carry the primary load of the canopy, preventing stretch, and increasing long-term performance.<br /> - Webtech: WebTech minimizes or replaces the traditional Dacron reinforcement by channeling the broader loads into the Load Frame through a web ‘subframe’ of Ultra High Molecular Polyethylene (Ultra High Modulus). This is featured in key areas such as the primary attachment points on the leading edge or the rear attachment points, while also being used to support structural components such as the center strut.<br /> - Technoforce D2: This premium fabric is designed with a high-density structure that uses high tenacity double-coated polyester yarn in a double ripstop configuration. The double coating protects the yarn as much as possible from UV and abrasion damage, ensuring that the canopy remains crisp and responsive for as long as possible. This exceptional material is used in conjunction with the Airush Load Frame, resulting in the ultimate combination of durability and performance.</p> <h3><strong>Features:</strong></h3> <p>- SPS & FBI: The oversized SPS valve (Single Point Inflation System) optimizes inflation and deflation. The Fast Bladder Inflation (FBI) features increased wall thickness and oversized diameter tubing, thus eliminating tube kink, reducing stress on your pump, and enabling quick and easy inflation.<br /> - Four Piece Strut: The four-piece strut has an added double folded triple stitched seam aligned with a 20mm wide webbing strip to reduce points of wear. This increases the durability and rigidity of the struts.<br /> - Heavy Duty LE: By using our Gradient Load Technology on the bridle insert points and leading-edge closure (along with double stitching), as well as Dimension Polyant Dacron, we have created a heavy-duty leading edge that supports the increased performance demands.<br /> - V3.2 Bridle System: The key benefit of the V3.2 bridle is that the kite maintains steering even when completely de-powered, increasing the usable wind range and overall performance significantly while adding immense safety benefits. The positioning of the bridle attachment points on the LE of the kite, combined with the V pulleys result in lighter steering, but direct enough to feel where your kite is while riding.<br /> - Unity Strut Connection: The Unity Strut Connection provides a solid point from strut to leading edge, to create a stiff structure that helps in performance and relaunching.</p>
<h2><strong>Take a look at the 2021 Airush Session Kitesurfing Kite with S2AS!</strong></h2> <p>The Airush Session is the kite that excels in wave riding and strapless freestyle.

For the classic Airush feel of smooth depower and ease of use, the standard pulley bridle is recommended. The Longer bar throw means that you get a controlled longer depower range, keeping your backlines tight even at full depower. The fixed bridle adds another dimension for the intermediate to advanced rider. It offers a direct response and uses less bar input for immediate steering and more crisp feel.<br /> - XL Inflate/Defalte Valve: The XL Inflate/Deflate Valve features an insanely easy and fast way to inflate and deflate your kite. The large opening creates maximum flow of air and reduces fatigue and stress on your pump. This in conjunction with the Airush High Velocity pump makes inflating your kite extremely fast to get you on the water as quickly as possible.<br /> - Airush Bumpers: Throughout the leading edge of the kites to reduce wear and increase durability on rough surfaces. These bumpers are key for increasing the lifespan of Airush kites.<br /> - Kevlar Reinforcement: Found throughout the Airush kites. These Kevlar Reinforcements are only put in the most critical areas to protect from wearing while still minimizing weight which affects the kites performance.<br /> - Recycled Polyester Kitebag: Around 36 billion plastic bottles are produced every year, and more than 30% of non-recycled plastics will end up in the rivers or oceans. Consider this and remember that these waterways are our playground. Airush have teamed up with one of the leaders in recycled plastic, and now we produce many of our kite bags and key accessories in collaboration with Waste 2 Wear. Waste 2 Wear recycle 100% post-consumer plastic bottles into eco-friendly fabrics. This unique process involves turning environmentally damaging waste into usable, sustainable yarns.

<h2><strong>Take a look at the new Ocean Rodeo Flite A-Series Aluula Ultra-Lite Frame Kitesurfing Kite at S2AS!</strong></h2> <p>A revolution in kite design that will change the kitesurfing industry a material with zero stretch or distortion!<br /> <br /> Forget compromise! The Flite featuring Aluula is a 3-strut kite that is highly responsive yet lighter than current no-strut kites, providing optimum light-wind performance, while retaining precision and control in increased wind speeds. Ground-breaking new Aluula composite material which weighs in at just 82 grams per square meter (78g/m² lighter than traditional Dacron), the material is 100% UV stable and virtually unrippable. </p> <p>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. 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’s top end, and improved performance throughout the wind range.</p> <p>The Aluula air frame delivers instant feedback not only from your bar input, but also from the wind, with gusts and lulls instantly transmitted to your control system, giving you the ability to maximize your kite’s power, depower and turning potential, revolutionizing your kitesurfing experience. </p> <p>The extreme light weight, combined with the stiff yet reactive Aluula air frame technology, means larger kites become supercharged, allowing performance levels to increase exponentially. To further build on the enhancements provided by Aluula, Ocean Rodeo have fine-tuned all our light wind manufacturing techniques and components, with the Flite Ultra Lite canopy using proven D2 double ripstop from Teijin.<br /> <br /> Incredibly responsive, the Flite excels in all riding styles and with whichever board you are riding. The days of compromise are over. The Flite featuring Aluula is the world’s lightest, strongest, and highest performing light-wind kite!</p> <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).

The topsail and bottom sail are made of 32g / m² X-Light cloth, the front edge of 44g / m² DLX + cloth. The X-Light makes the construction stiffer, improving the kite's response and steady pull. The DLX + increases longevity and protects against abrasion. The elaborate internal construction of ribs and straps with reinforced suspension points distribute the load evenly over the entire wing. The Little Connection Lines (LCL) serve as a breakpoint and facilitate the replacement of the bridle lines. All components of the SONIC are designed for maximum performance on any terrain.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>ADS (Automatic Drainage System)</strong></p> <p>Safety plays a central role in the development of our products. The automatic drainage system is an important part of your trust in the foil kite system. The interior and material selection of a FLYSURFER kite is optimized to absorb as little water as possible and enables a smooth restart after the event of a splash-down. This distinguishes us from the competition, allows you to start in deep water and gives you the confidence to relaunch our kites in the lightest breeze.</p> <p><strong>Maintenance - Long Mixer Test</strong></p> <p> </p> <p>The long mixer test can be carried out by comparing the lengths of the marked bridle lines with the front and back main (see line plan) to compensate for deviations on the bridle using the mixer. After intensive use, adjustments should be made to maintain the performance of the product.</p> <p><strong>PMA (Profile Momentum Adjuster)</strong></p> <p>The kite's flight characteristics can be strongly influenced by the PMA's. The stability, the turning, and asymmetries can be changed or compensated quickly and efficiently. The PMA's are sewn to five ribs of the B level on each the left and the right-wing span side. Go through the air intakes to reach the small knot ladders on the top- and bottom sail of the kite. You can adjust the profile momentum or compensate for asymmetry by tightening the knot ladder. We recommend the help of a FLYSURFER sales partner to make adjustments.</p> <p><strong>The Mixer</strong></p> <p>The individual levels of the kite are controlled by the mixer with different ratios and thus influence the angle of attack and the chamber. In addition, it is adjustable to compensate for stretch or shortening of linen and to ensure long-term use.</p> <p><strong>MPI (Max Pressure Air Intake)</strong></p> <p> </p> <p>The Max Pressure Air Intake is integrated into the leading edge and ensures maximum backpressure in our FLYSURFER Foil Kites. Fast filling during start-up is necessary to gain full control of the kite as soon as possible.</p> <p> </p> <table id="tablepress-221"> <thead> <tr> <th><strong>SONIC</strong></th> <th><strong>9</strong></th> <th><strong>11</strong></th> <th><strong>13</strong></th> <th><strong>15</strong></th> <th><strong>18</strong></th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>Color</td> <td>Rust, Petrol</td> <td>Amber, Petrol</td> <td>Steel Blue, Petrol</td> <td>Spearmint, Petrol</td> <td>Lime, Petrol</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Area (projected)</td> <td>7,52</td> <td>9,19</td> <td>10,86</td> <td>12,53</td> <td>15,46</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Aspect Ratio</td> <td>6,6</td> <td>6,8</td> <td>6,9</td> <td>7,1</td> <td>7,2</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Cells</td> <td>55</td> <td>55</td> <td>55</td> <td>55</td> <td>55</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Depth of the profile (cm)</td> <td>142</td> <td>155</td> <td>167</td> <td>177</td> <td>195</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Wing Span Flat (cm)</td> <td>771</td> <td>865</td> <td>947</td> <td>1032</td> <td>1154</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Weight = canopy + complete bridle + mixer (kg)</td> <td>1,94</td> <td>2,26</td> <td>2,54</td> <td>2,84</td> <td>3,36</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Recommended barsize</td> <td>50</td> <td>50</td> <td>50</td> <td>50/60</td> <td>60</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>
