KITES

SPRINT 3.0

Bullet Proof Bumpers

In the past a lighter kite was used for just one thing. Lighter wind performance. Back then to achieve this lighter weight, riders typically had to sacrifice durability and features to get the most out of the threshold winds.

We are now in a new generation of not only kiteboarding, but also material development. Advancements have been going on for the past years, and through the work with the Cab Design Works team and the best manufacturers in the world, we have been able to develop new materials and designs, which not only help riders get out in those marginal winds, but also perform at the other extremes of our sports.

Lighter weight materials used to mean one thing, less support and stability. This was fine on large kites in 10kts of wind, but no benefit at all to smaller kites, stronger winds, or just extreme styles of riding. The new HTD Lite materials and also materials featured on the Apex series of products such as Ultra HT and Ultra HP take the material performance to an all-new level. All the new materials sport a lower weight against traditional materials, but the biggest leaps have come in points like response and recovery and opportunities to completely re write the book on what can be produced with an inflatable leading edge structure.

The new Sprint 3.0 inflation system increases air flow from leading edge to the strut. The new straight and angled valves allow for no kinking of the inflation tube. It's secure fit design also allows for easy maintenance.

These new durable TPU bumpers are strong, lightweight and resilient. They crossover to protect the canopy to LE sewing. A new manufacturing process helps with abrasion when the kite is resting on a hard surface.

Eva Trailing Battens

Lightweight and virtually indestructible, the EVA Trailing Edge battens give the support you need for the canopy, without the weight and complexity of all other designs.
