<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. Teijin D2 is the benchmark in quality with proven superiority in durability and dynamics.</li> </ul> <h3><strong>Structure:</strong></h3> <p>- Shape: Specifically designed to be a wave / strapless freestyle hybrid, the Crave has a moderate sweep and an open C arch, providing maximum flying control even when the kite is at the extreme edges of the window.<br /> - Ratio: Delivers a perfect balance of drift and upwind performance with lightning quick relaunches.<br /> - 3 Strut Frame: The Crave features an ultra light dacron blend airframe. Combined with precision curved and tapered struts, this kite offers superior stability, sharper tuning, and the ability to take a beating in the surf.<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 Crave to lift out of a loop and avoiding a stall for maximum climb</p> <h3><strong>Technologies:</strong></h3> <p>- Aluula Reinforced Dacron Leading Edge:<strong> </strong>Built with rugged 160gsm dacron that is enhanced with a Aluula shock strip that runs wing-tip to wing-tip, for improved stiffness and response</p> <p>- Aluula Reinforcements: The Aluula anti flutter strips & abrasion panels support the canopy ripstop to stop flutter and increase abrasion resistance at critical wear points.</p> <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’ve ever made. Using custom blended UV film in our strut and leading edge bladders allows us to double down on light weight with outstanding durability<br /> - Speed Inflation System: Get on the water faster with the speed inflation system. Strut to leading edge connector tubes feature easy to use quick clamps for added security while riding. Featuring all new EVA Clamp covers. See if your clip is open or shut. Light and easy to operate<br /> - Forward Swept Wingtips (FST): By increasing the leverage between your front and back lines, FST design gives you the additional leverage needed to snap your kite around through a turn. FST also reduces drag off the wingtip, while delivering more sheeting range with less bar input, which is ideal for unhooked moves<br /> - High Capacity Valve: Direct hose to valve connection for simple operation. Wide threaded cap is easy to tighten and even easier to unscrew eliminating the jammed valve cap syndrome. Cap is leashed to the kite, and the valve cover has been re-shaped for smooth no snag fit<br /> - Trim Equalizer: Keeps line lengths equal when fine-tuning kite turning speed<br /> - Buck Stitching: This three-stage zig-zag stitch distributes seam load creating a tear-resistant, long-lasting seam.<br /> - Abrasion Guard: Ultra-light and abrasion-resistant. The Kevlar scuff protection is also low profile, delivering a streamlined no snag profile throughout the kite.<br /> - Variable Line Length: Tailor your kite’s performance to match your riding style and launch conditions.<br /> - Load Distribution: Using strategic seam placement and pathways to enhance a kite’s performance and durability<br /> - Easy Access Bladder Port: Zip entry access to bladders is neatly finished delivering a super clean entry into the leading edge compartment<br /> - Secure Connect: Molded beads on the back line leaders deliver a secure larks head connection every time<br /> - Secure Pump Leash Loop: Easy to locate and perfectly balanced to hold your kite in place while you pump</p>

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.

<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/m² lighter than traditional Dacron), the material is 100% UV stable and virtually unrippable. 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’s stability and precision control is retained. </p> <div> </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. 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.</div> <div> </div> <div> <div>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. </div> <div> </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> </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’s 3 strut “boxy” 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.

<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). 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.

<h2><strong>Take a look at the new 2020 Airush Ultra V3 Kitesurfing Kite at S2AS!</strong></h2><p>The Ultra Kitesurfing KIte has yet again proven to be unbeatable for lightwind freeride performance, foiling, and wave riding alike. The exclusive Airush Load Frame, segmentation reduction through the canopy, and lightweight single strut geometry all contribute to increased durability and responsiveness.<br/><br/>An exclusive Airush Load Frame for maximum durability, the Ultra kite has been the go-to kite for foil riders, wave riders and snow kiters alike. When considering the Ultra evolution, a focus on segmentation reduction through the canopy and leading edge Lightweight Single Strut geometry increases the skin tension per panel. Fewer segments result in more tension between each segment point. This increases the responsiveness of the Ultra, while maintaining stability.<br/><br/>The Ultra kite is designed to maintain its shape and responsiveness the balanced geometry combines canopy curve, leading edge sweep and a specific trailing edge concave. </p><h3><strong>Materials and Construction:</strong></h3><p>- Lightweight Single Strut Geometry: By reducing the number of struts and combining this with WebTech smart reinforcing the weight of the Ultra is minimised. This enables a greater level of performance in all wind conditions and allows us to push the boundaries of light wind performance.<br/>- Airush Load Frame v4 w/Web Tech: By expanding their exclusive Load Frame with WebTech throughout the areas normally occupied by Dacron, Airush were 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/>- Integreteated High Modulus Fibres: Central to the concept of the Load Frame are the lightweight Ultra High Modulus yarns, of which each single yarn can carry 40kg. Think of them as a lightweight web with engineered energy absorption under load, similar to a spider web. These yarns are integrated into the canopy through reinforced taping that allows them to elongate when under extreme load, absorbing most of the shock that traditionally would have run through the canopy. At the same time, they carry the primary load of the canopy, preventing stretch and increasing long-term performance.<br/>- Web Tech: Minimizes or replaces the traditional Dacron reinforcing by channeling the broader loads into the Load Frame through a web “sub frame” 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: A premium fabric is designed with a high-density structure using 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. This ensures that the canopy remains as crisp and responsive for as long as possible.<br/>- Kevlar Reinforcement; Kevlar, found in bulletproof vests, is found throughout the Airush kites. These Kevlar reinforcements are only put in the most critical areas to protect from wear and tear while still minimizing weight that affects the kites performance.<br/>- Optional Fixed or Pulley Bridles: Supplied with two sets of bridles, which can be interchanged using the same bridle attachment points. 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 new 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.</p><h3><strong>Features:</strong></h3><p>- V3.2 Bridle System: 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. Further refinements have allowed Airush to reduce the length of the bridles, while maintaining the performance characteristics. The Airush Pulleys are made of tough Zytel material for high strength and resistance to abrasion and impact, the Airush Pulley has the pigtails hole directionally correct to eliminate bridle wear. With a breaking strength of 550 kg, the Airush pulley was designed specifically for use on all Airush kites<br/>- XL Inflate/Deflate Valve: 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. <br/>- Airush Bumpers: Found 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/>- 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. The SPS cover supports the tubing, further limiting UV damage to the material and preventing over flexing when packing.<br/>- LIghtweight Kitebag: Even the kitebag has been optimized, using premium lightweight Ripstop nylon (mountaineering technology) to create a unique bag that folds into its own pocket and weighs less than 250gm<br/></p>

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>

<h2><strong>Take a look at the new Core XR6 Kitesurfing Kite at S2AS!</strong></h2> <p><strong>High Performance Freeride+ | Freestyle | Wave</strong></p> <p>The latest innovations from industry-leading brand Core are put together in their brand new kitesurfing kite the XR6! Part of Core's Universal+ Series the XR6 has a unique design that allows it to perform in all conditions and disciplines. Carrying across the incredible power and unbelievable wind range of the previous freeride machine the XR5 the XR6 receives some impressive handling upgrades and weight reductions!</p> <p>With over fourteen years of development and many hundreds of prototypes tested in order to develop the XR6's signature ride, this kite 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>After six generations, they've dialled in the characteristics Like prodigious power. Unbelievable depower. And precise control on the water and in the air. With the same tread depth in the centre as the XR5, but slightly flatter on the outside. For this purpose, 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 XR6 continues with Core's highly successful 5-strut, Delta Bow shape that isn't just a fan favourite; it also breaks records. Earlier this year, both Maarten Haeger und Ross-Dillon Player busted through the 30m barrier on their XR's. A feat that was previously considered impossible.</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 XR6 Kite you can rest easy knowing that Core will be able to help you out!</p> <p>Now, it's your turn to break some personal bests with the new XR6.</p> <h3><strong>Key Features:</strong></h3> <p><strong>Delta Bow Shape: </strong>The XR6 curves with its concave trailling edge into a clasic bow shape, with swept tips show genes of the Delta shape. This creates a greater depower and full power for better boosting, upwindabilty and earlier planing. Further improvements have allowed for even more pop and higher airspeeds.</p> <p><strong>5 Strut Frame: </strong>Utilising this new refined and even stiffer strut geometry, means an ultra stable frame resulting significantly less deformation and more power on demand</p> <p><strong>Faster Turning Speed: </strong>Now even more agile and responsive, due to finetuning in the bridle points along with rebalanced stiffness produce more steering confidence than ever before</p> <p><strong>CIT Modes: </strong>Fully adjustable kite handling characteristics. 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 XR6 comes in the All-Round mode combining the best of both options with its well balanced trim. Experience optimum turning pleasure and and variable steering forces</p> <p><strong>Exotex® Ultra Rigid Dacron: </strong>Zero stretch airframe that allows for a higher pressure with a smaller diameter.

This system is also completely free of tangles so you can relaunch within seconds and with ease. The Stop and go system can also be used to safely land and secure your kite on the ground.</p> <p>DOUBLE STITCHED X SHAPED, DACRON REINFORCED BRIDLE POINTS</p> <p>Because of the amount of power that the bridle points endure throughout the life of the kite, we have reinforced these with a Dacron patch which is cross stitched onto the profile. This makes the bridle points on the Lynx the strongest, most durable and safest on the market.</p> <p>HIGH-QUALITY RONSTAN ORBIT 20 PULLEYS</p> <p>The speed system on the Lynx runs on Ronstan Orbit® 20 Pulleys, which guarantee a secure connection to your kite.</p> <p>SECURED BRAKE BRIDLE POINTS</p> <p>The brake bridle points on the 2015 Lynx have been moved away from the trailing edge to ensure the kite maintains its shape when cranking the bar. This result is enhanced control and stability maintained throughout the kites entire wind range.</p> <p>MIRAI HIGH TENACITY FABRICS</p> <p>The ultimate combination of high tenacity and lightweight fabrics for canopy and profiles was chosen with optimal strength, durability, and performance in mind.</p> <p>The Lynx is a medium Aspect Ratio, open cell depower foil with a safety 5th line, which offers plenty of smooth and controllable power and is very responsive to bar input.

<h2><strong>Peter Lynn Nova Kitesurf Foil Kite Now Available From S2AS</strong></h2> <p>The Nova is our new, unique depower foil kite. This one of a kind foil was designed to unite all the benefits of LEIs, like accessibility, ease of use and stability, with all the advantages of foils: better upwind, downwind, low wind performance and float. <br /> <br /> When designing the Nova, Peter Lynn had one goal in mind, to build a foil dedicated to speed up the learning curve of hydro foiling and that provides the best freeride feeling a foil can offer. It offers a stable and reliable riding experience in which you can focus on your board technique rather than on controlling your kite. If you want to spend more time above water but fear the foil, this is the kite for you.</p> <p><strong>COMFORTABLE BAR PRESSURE, LOW SIDEWAYS PULL</strong></p> <p>To get up on a hydrofoil it is important that the kite doesn’t generate too much sideways pull. Low sideways pull allows you to focus on holding your balance rather than dealing with the power of the kite.</p> <p><strong>HIGHLY STABLE, RIGID WING</strong></p> <p>The Nova’s high cell count and internal construction makes for a firm wing that doesn’t deform or has its tips fold in, this makes the kite highly reliable, and the bridle is tuned to offer maximum stability. The NOVA delivers much more power than an average LEI, making you able to use a small size in low wind.</p> <p><strong>FOIL SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE, EASE OF A LEI</strong></p> <p>Even though foil kites offer many advantages like low wind performance or upwind ability, many LEI riders consider foilkites to be difficult to use. This is why the Nova is special.</p> <p><strong>FILLS FAST, RETAINS INTERNAL PRESSURE.</strong></p> <p>The Nova’s 4 inlets have been placed in such a way that air gets in easily and the internal structure allows this air to move freely inside the kite to speed up inflation. At the same time, the valves inside the wing prevent air from getting out.</p> <p><strong>Shape Memory Structure [SMS]</strong></p> <p>D and H ribs allow for minimal bridle points and optimal cell bulging, creating a firm shape for easy-relaunch , stability and playful riding.</p> <p><strong>Medium Aspect Ratio, high cell count</strong></p> <p>Highly stable, accessible performance</p> <p><strong>High End Paraglider CANOPY</strong></p> <p>High end paraglider canopy with soft coating provided for top and bottom skin combined with a hard coating for the internal body. Creating a taugh yet lightweight canopy construction.</p> <p><strong>Dynacore Bridle</strong></p> <p>Clear bridle plan</p> <p><strong>One Line Relaunch</strong></p> <p>The water isn’t a challenge anymore</p> <p><strong>Ronstan® Orbit pulleys</strong></p> <p>A self-securing speed system</p> <p><strong>Single Designs</strong></p> <p>For similar performance and feel across the range</p> <p><strong>Reinforced bridle points</strong></p> <p>For a secure connection</p> <p><strong>Cross-Vents</strong></p> <p>A smart profile design to reduce weight and create and easy infow</p> <p><strong>LIMITLESS RIDING</strong></p> <p>Riding a hydrofoil gives you the freedom to explore kiting in a different and magical way; ride waves, make turns, jump around or just cruise. There are no limits. Combine this with the ultra-wide wind range and stability of a foil kite and you’re golden. <br /> <br /> We believe every kiteboarder should be able to experience the magic of riding a hydrofoil. To make foiling accessible even to the most dedicated LEI riders, we have created a kite that allows you to focus on getting up on your board without having to deal with your kite. The kite’s incredibly stability allows you handle your foil board without having to worry about your kite.<br /> <br /> Kiting with a foil gives kiteboarding a whole different perspective. With an LEI, there is only a stop and go. With a foil there is everything in between. It’s a Ferrari that drives faster if you shift it well. You learn something new but if you temper it, you will find new possibilities.</p> <p><strong>AGILE, STABLE, ACCESSIBLE</strong></p> <p>We’ve created an accessible depower foil kite that comes very close to the feeling of a LEI, but with all the benefits a foil kite has to offer: better upwind, better downwind, better low wind performance and better float. With the use of lightweight materials, the NOVA only needs a summer breeze to make you feel magic.<br /> <br /> We have created a wing that doesn’t twist or has its tips fold in. It is highly stable yet agile, and it fills quickly with air due to a smart 4 intake system. <br /> <br /> We designed the NOVA with a relatively high cells and a balanced cell count, has resulting in a very stiff foil which retains its shape even under turbulent circumstances. <br /> <br /> Because foil kites like the Nova are highly efficient and deliver much more power per size than LEI’s you will be flying a much smaller wing than you might expect in any given wind speed.<br /> <br /> The float on the Nova is so good you could even use the kite to ride some waves whilst the kite happily drifts along… Riding a wave on a foil board is something close to extraordinary!</p> <h3><strong>IMPORTANT NOTES</strong></h3> <p><strong>SIZE SELECTION</strong></p> <p>Choosing the perfect foil size is different from a LEI kite. Ask an experienced rider, or contact us for advice beforehand.</p> <p><strong>FLAG OUT SAFETY</strong></p> <p>To guarantee your safety the Nova features the proven and trusted industry standard flag out system. It is recommended to check bridle lines, pulleys and the speed system for possible tangles before re-launching. To guarantee maximum safety, stay at home, on the couch, and binge watch your favourite TV show.</p> <p><strong>CARE FOR MATERIALS</strong></p> <p>Like any performance specific gear, it’s built out of extremely light weight materials which are more prone to damaging and/or stretching. Whilst we’ve chosen only the highest quality materials for you, it’s still necessary to carefully maintain the kite for its longevity. Special attention should be paid to the bridling and speed system.</p> <p><strong>ADVANCED SKILL REQUIREMENT</strong></p> <p>Even though the Nova is an easy to use depower foilkite, it does however require insight on how to fly these types of kites to prevent potentially dangerous situations. Even if you have the skills required, do not fly it in unpredictable or dangerous weather conditions, like offshore winds and/or (thunder)storms.</p> <p> </p>

Even if you have the skills required, do not fly in weather conditions that are unpredictable or dangerous, like offshore winds and/or (thunder)storms.</p> <p><strong>COLOURS</strong></p> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" dir="ltr"> <tbody> <tr> <td>Peter Lynn Aero V2 8- petrol blue</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Peter Lynn Aero V2 10- black</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Peter Lynn Aero V2 12- orange</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Peter Lynn Aero V2 14- petrol blue</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Peter Lynn Aero V2 15- black</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Peter Lynn Aero V2 16- black</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Peter Lynn Aero V2 18- orange</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" dir="ltr"> <tbody> <tr> <td>Peter Lynn Aero V2 8 Ultra Light- orange</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Peter Lynn Aero V2 10 Ultra Light- royal blue</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Peter Lynn Aero V2 12 Ultra Light- red</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Peter Lynn Aero V2 14 Ultra Light- orange</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Peter Lynn Aero V2 15 Ultra Light- royal blue</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Peter Lynn Aero V2 16 Ultra Light- royal blue</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Peter Lynn Aero V2 18 Ultra Light- red</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Peter Lynn Aero V2 21 Ultra Light- orange</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>
<h2><strong>Check Out The 2019 Airush Ultra V2 Kitesurf Kite Now Available At S2AS</strong></h2> <ul> <li><strong>Perfect freeride foil capabilities.</strong></li> <li><strong>The lightest kite we have ever made.</strong></li> <li><strong>Improved high-end performance in larger sizes.</strong></li> </ul> <p>The Ultra V2 has redefined our lofty expectations of what a kite can do. The light weight and stability have opened up places we could never have kited, in marginal conditions we would not have considered kiteable.</p> <p>With unbeatable performance, weight saving features, and an exclusive Airush Load Frame for maximum durability, the Ultra kite has been the go-to kite for foil riders, wave riders and snow kiters alike.</p> <p>When considering the Ultra evolution, a focus on segmentation reduction through the canopy and leading edge Lightweight Single Strut geometry increases the skin tension per panel. Fewer segments result in more tension between each segment point. This increases the responsiveness of the Ultra V2, while maintaining stability.</p> <p>The Ultra V2 is designed to maintain its shape and responsiveness by maximising the benefits of the unique Airush Load Frame. The balanced geometry combines canopy curve, leading edge sweep and a specific trailing edge concave.<br /> <br /> By reducing the number of struts and combining this with WebTech smart reinforcing the weight of the Ultra V2 is minimised. This enables a greater level of performance in all wind conditions and allows us to push the boundaries of light wind performance.</p> <p>AIRUSH LOAD FRAME V4</p> <p>The Airush Load Frame featuring WebTech has been the key to setting the ultimate benchmark in durability, without compromising on weight.<br /> <br /> 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.</p> <p>INTEGRATED HIGH MODULUS FIBRES</p> <p>Central to the concept of the Load Frame are the lightweight Ultra High Modulus yarns, of which each single yarn can carry 40kg. Think of them as a lightweight web with engineered energy absorption under load, similar to a spider web. <br /> <br /> These yarns are integrated into the canopy through reinforced taping that allows them to elongate when under extreme load, absorbing most of the shock that traditionally would have run through the canopy. At the same time, they carry the primary load of the canopy, preventing stretch and increasing long-term performance.</p> <p>WEBTECH</p> <p>WebTech minimizes or replaces the traditional Dacron reinforcing by channeling the broader loads into the Load Frame through a web “sub frame” 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.</p> <p>TECHNOFORCE D2</p> <p>This premium fabric is designed with a high-density structure using 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.

With a breaking strength of 550 kg, the Airush pulley was designed specifically for use on all Airush kite</p> <p>LIGHTWEIGHT COMPACT KITEBAG</p> <p>Even the kitebag has been optimized, using premium lightweight Ripstop nylon (mountaineering technology) to create a unique bag that folds into its own pocket and weighs less than 250gm.</p> <p>AIRUSH BUMPERS</p> <p>Airush Bumpers are found 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.</p> <p>XL INFLATE/DEFLATE VALVE</p> <p>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.
