GEAR: CHOOSE YOUR KITE FOIL

You are a kite foiler and you hesitate between the different kites of our range? Here are some explanations that will help you to choose.

Kite foiler: Hina, GONG team rider, in Strutless 7m and in Catch kite foil.

 

The Strutless

The Strutless is the perfect kite for freeride perf and for ultra light wind sessions with the best possible upwind performance. It’s a kite that has an extraordinary glide and can accelerate at will. 

This kite is by far the one that goes the furthest out of the window, allowing you to get the best possible lift no matter how strong the wind.

  • The larger the size, the more performance-oriented it is (speed, upwind and lift) with a higher ratio (longer sail and less width).
  • On the other hand, the smaller sizes with a lower ratio are more playful, with a much more surfy behavior (drift and handling) and once again all lightness. 

The fact of not having inflatable bladders allows to gain a lot of weight and liveliness. Each bladder is made of a dacron’s sleeve, a bladder, a valve and a “one pump”. When you get rid of these parts, the profit is impressive! Especially with our light and semi-rigid fiber bladders, the profile remains steady and the relaunch is easy. The fabric doesn’t stick to the water!

The Unik

The Unik is perfect if you search for a kite that unlocks a lot of power. Thanks to its lower ratio (wider in the center and less elongated), it allows you to take off early without having to work it too much. It has power at will and stays further back in the window which translates into better drift and stability.

It’s an easy kite with no headaches and is very easy to relaunch in all conditions, thanks to its rounded ears that allow it to roll easily to the edge of the window in the takeoff position.

The Freewave

Finally, the Freewave allows you to go out in stronger conditions while keeping the kite easily manageable without excess speed.
