You will not believe the performance of these kites until you're flown one!
Why a FlySurfer ram-air foil?
 | MUCH quicker and easier to re-launch
off the water than leading edge inflatable kites (LEI) |
| Bigger wind range
(particularly the bottom end) – typically 15-20 knots vs 10-15 knots for an LEI (incl
Bow/SLE). This means: 1. Safer because the kite will not loft or overpower as easily 2. Convenience of not having to switch kites as often as wind changes 3. Economic because two FlySurfer kites will cover same wind range as three LEI |
| More compact and lighter
(saves excess baggage when traveling) |
| Safer - FlySurfer riders don’t hesitate to use their quick release (QR) because re-launching is never as issue. Whereas many LEI riders cannot use their QR instinctively because they never want to let go of their bar |
| Much quicker setup
than LEI |
| No leaks, punctures, etc and even if you damage your kite in a high impact crash a FlySurfer can often be flown back to the beach (even on short bridle lines) – in similar impacts a LEI will often blow a LE tube or split stitching and you'll have to swim in |
| Aerodynamic efficiency of double-surface wing means: 1. you can use smaller kites which turn faster 2. better upwind ability than LEI |
| Don’t need to upgrade kites as you
progress from beginner to Pro – I teach with the same kite I use in
competitions |
| FlySurfer kites are more durable – they will last 3-4 years if looked after whereas LEI stitching is always under pressure even if never crashed |
| More versatile for dual
water and land/snow use (buggying is great fun and a good way to build your skills in
light winds too) |
| Easier and safer to launch and land without assistance if necessary |
| Innovative leading egde technology and
superb German engineering including: 1. Jet flap trailing edge for outstanding stability 2. Blow-out valves and bridle connection links to minimize damage to the kite in the event of a hard crash 3. Rotating kite safety leash - spin your bar without tangles 4. Automatic draining of any water or sand that gets inside the kite 5. Easily change the handling characteristics to suit your own style 6. Quickly adjust line lengths 7. Full depowered safety system (FDS) |
