FORUM : about trim !!!

‘’Hello,
Our Kites are conceived are to be ridden without trim. I have even asked myself the question of removing this option. The de-power is enormous and they sheet well.
So the Trim on our Bars is there for two reasons :
– you’re using the Kite outside of its normal range, so you cheat by trimming. It’s not forbidden ;). Let’s say that it’s a high range comfort trim but would have been better to go smaller.
– you use the trim on the ground to relieve yourself and not get carried off in a sudden gust. Security trim basically.
Not everyone can have a Quiver of 5 Kites, so the trim remains useful for overpowering in high wind.
But don’t forget our Kites don’t need it, I very rarely trim (99% when Foiling). Riding trimmed is very unpleasant because we lose all the Kites influx and its precision.
Thanks’’
