Description
Program
The Elips Aramid DP is an ultra-versatile 3-strut kite, incredibly effective in waves, but also exceptional for foiling and twin tip freeriding.
Presentation
The Elips Aramid DP combines extreme maneuverability, lightness, and power, delivering a lively and user-friendly kite suitable for all conditions.
Designed to blend aggressive kiteloops with aerodynamic efficiency, this kite demonstrates exceptional versatility thanks to its 3-strut DNA.
With its lightweight construction, the Elips Aramid DP raises the market’s most appreciated standard to unprecedented levels: responsiveness, stability, extended range, and maximum versatility. Its refined shape offers speed and precision, while impressive low-end power allows comfortable riding even in light wind.
Its innovative Double Profile (DP) technology dramatically enhances flight quality, providing smooth airflow and boosting overall kite performance by 30%. This results in improved stability, speed, and control, whether riding waves, foiling, or twin tip freeriding.
The design of the tips draws direct inspiration from the Low Drag System developed for our wings. These ultra-thin tips, energized by a slim carbon strut, reduce drag significantly and ensure perfect glide. The result is precise handling, minimal inertia, and exemplary responsiveness for a lively kite.
When foiling, the Elips Aramid DP excels from as little as 6-8 knots with a 9m² kite, thanks to record-breaking efficiency and stability. Its exceptional maneuverability and predictable behavior inspire confidence even in marginal conditions. The kite’s refined flight characteristics and immense depower prevent being overpowered in higher winds, ensuring comfortable and safe sessions.
Equally ideal for twin tip freeriding, it proves incredibly user-friendly even for intermediate riders. Lightweight and intuitive, it facilitates rapid progression due to immediate handling ease. It offers just the right amount of power for smooth riding, and its consistent maneuverability encourages trick after trick. It’s the perfect kite for progressing without fully committing to 100% big air, ideal for a fluid riding style combining low kite tricks with a wide range of moderate jumps.
Developed and validated by Airton and Francesco, the Elips Aramid DP blends power, versatility, safety, and pure enjoyment. A lively, precise kite designed to perform everywhere, anytime, without ever reaching its limits.
Technical sheet
Kite Elips Aramid DP Pro Team Series - 10 m² White Second Hand 11713 10 m² / White
Fiche technique :
- Leading edge et struts en UPE Aramid : squelette très léger, fin et rigide.
- Bord de fuite en dacron DP175LL pour une bonne résistance aux accrocs et une meilleure longévité dans le vent.
- Canopy en spi triple ripstop hyper résistant et dynamique.
- Renforts Insigna sur le bord d’attaque stratégiquement placés pour une meilleure durabilité.
- Tips saver en nylon 1680D pour protéger les tips des frottements.
- Bridage Dyneema gainé Robline 1,9mm et connexion en LIROS DC701 : très fins, de haute qualité, et faible élongation.
- Bridages 100% démontables pour un remplacement facile des pièces d’usure.
- Système One Pump pour gonfler et dégonfler rapidement. (les clamps ne sont pas montés sur le kite; ils sont livrés dans le kit de réparation inclus dans votre bag de kite).
Shape :
- Design 3 lattes : très bon rapport poids/stabilité pour d'excellentes performances, en restant simple à piloter (relativement léger).
- Hybrid C shape : design moderne, stable, prédictible, et dynamique. Coefficient de projection : 62,9% : arc fermé.
- Ratio modéré (4,5) pour un bon fond de puissance et un feeling hyper sain et linéaire dans toute la fenêtre. Elle est aussi hyper stable au zénith, et elle rattrape beaucoup d’erreurs.
- Profil 100% performance : reculé pour plus de Vmax du kite et un maximum de stabilité en plage haute. Relativement creux (par rapport à sa corde étroite, donc fin en valeur absolue) pour un lift dingue et permettre une super ressource dans les loops.
- Double Profil pour plus de glisse, plus de sustentation, un drift parfait, une plage basse incroyable, plus de tenue en plage haute, et une réactivité parfaite.
- Bord d’attaque fin pour une aile rapide et fine dans l’air qui permet de sortir rapidement le kite de la zone non désirée.
- Creux important en proportion de la corde du profil pour de la puissance à bas régime et une bonne accroche dans les actions radicales. Mais ce creux est fin dans l’absolu puisque le ratio est important, donc avec une corde faible.
- Outline waveriding avec un bord d’attaque très courbe pour un redécollage rapide dans les vagues. L’aile peut rouler sur l’eau pour se remettre en position de décollage en tirant doucement un arrière.
- Surface centrée pour un kite compact capable de drifter et de pivoter sur lui-même sans tomber. Ce shape apporte beaucoup de power, ce qui permet de sous toiler énormément par rapport aux autres kites, et donc de piloter un kite beaucoup plus vif.
- Lattes segmentées : plus rigide au niveau de la connexion avec le bord d’attaque : comportement très net, plus de puissance à surface égale, plus de stabilité en plage haute. On a vraiment une super tenue du profil en plage haute pour un kite 3 lattes. Redécollage plus efficace.
- Tips rondes et de surface modérée pour libérer le kite en rotation. Inspiré de notre kite de big air, le vrillage de la Elips déforme la tip interne à la courbe pour tourner encore plus vite et sur l’oreille. On peut faire tourner le kite sur place ou le faire sortir de la fenêtre en actionnant plus ou moins. C’est dingue en surf.
- Vrillage interne modéré des tips pour plus de réactivité aux actions de barre et des rotations radicales. Isolément, ce vrillage est faible car il est en réalité le fruit de la très forte tension appliquée à tout le kite. La résultante est un kite qui vrille très fortement au pilotage.
- Tension de spi très forte sur chaque section pour un pilotage du kite très réactif (direct feeling : pas de temps de latence).
- Retour en barre facilitant : vous savez toujours où se place votre aile par une pression constante et dosée en barre. C’est un kite qu’on sent bien et qui permet de penser surf plutôt que pilotage dans la fenêtre.
- Depower important pour une plage d’utilisation importante et une aile tolérante. On a vraiment full power bordé et un gros dégazage full choqué. Grosse amplitude qui assure en surf pour ne pas se faire déborder dans les turns et les tubes.
- Shape “autostable” avec son ratio modéré et son creux important qui “accroche” de l’air. Les tips reculées qui répartissent la masse un peu vers l’arrière du kite pour éviter les piqués/décrochages. On a en mains un kite prévisible et sain pour un maximum de liberté.
- Bridage court des avants pour éviter qu’il ne s'emmêle dans les tips et rendre le kite plus réactif ; frappé sur 6 points, sans poulie pour un feeling hyper direct et sans concession. L’absence de poulie évite aussi les soucis en cas de crash dans les vagues.
- 3 réglages sur le bridage avant :
- vers l’extérieur du kite pour plus de fond de puissance, moins de présence en barre, un rayon de rotation un poil plus large et plus de stabilité pour le freestyle.
- vers l’intérieur pour un kite moins puissant dans les avants/le harnais qui tourne plus vite et plus de depower.
- le réglage central pour une polyvalence parfaite.
- 3 points d’attaches des arrières pour doser la réactivité et la présence en barre selon le feeling de chacun.
Buying guide
For Whom?
Queen of waves, it will definitely appeal more to surfers looking for fast and committed turns. But that's not all, because in the Team Series version, it's incredibly versatile. Perfect for freeride twintip, it will also appeal to foilers.
For What?
The Elips DP is a kite that turns instantly. With an endlessly adjustable turning radius, outstanding stability and drift, it excels in surfing. This turning ability also makes it perfect for freeride and even basic freestyle loops. The Ayto DP will be the kite of choice for double loops though.
Rather powerful and light, it's a kite mostly ridden in light wind conditions to favor maneuverability. But it's also extremely stable in high winds, no worries there. Its program is more about taking the most efficient small kite possible on a surfboard, but it will also be great on a twin tip if you want to switch things up.
Perf Series:
Display: the freeride kite for rapid progression.
Vertigo: high-performance kite for all disciplines from unhooked to surfing.
Ayto: the ultimate 5-strut kite for big air and kite loops.
Unik: lightweight mono-strut freeride kite for light wind, foiling, and waves.
Strutless: super light kite for light wind and freeride/freerace.
Strutless Revo: ultra-light and maneuverable kite for foiling and surfing.
Elips: the ultimate kite for waves.
Team Series:
Ayto DP: The big air kite in an ultra high performance version.
Elips DP: Unmatched performance in waves and perfect versatility from twin tip to kite foiling.
What Size?
Thanks to its double profile, lightness and rigidity, the Elips DP has an ultra stable and easy-to-control high wind range. However, it's a kite that you'll mostly ride in light wind conditions for its power and maneuverability work wonders in light wind.
Choose your kite following our recommendations below. Wind ranges always depend on your weight, skill level, and the board you're using!
Bar Size:
Keep in mind that the longer your bar, the easier it will be to turn your kite. Also, remember that the smaller the kite, the easier it will turn. So, the smaller the kite, the more you need a smaller bar to balance behaviors.
Conversely, the larger your kite and the more you use it in light wind, the slower it will be. A longer bar will have a greater leverage effect to compensate for this natural loss of reactivity.
Therefore, consider these parameters to choose the size of your bar and adapt the steering to the feeling you like and the conditions encountered.
If you want smooth and progressive steering, then you should “undersize” the bar. If you want more reactive but less forgiving steering, you should choose a longer bar.
For example, if I want smoother steering with my 9m2, then I will go for a 46cm bar.
If I want hyper-reactive steering, then I would go for the 52cm bar.
Oversizing the bar will have little interest and paradoxically will result in a feeling of heaviness in steering in the case of the 62cm. This one will be perfect, even essential in light wind. But in stronger winds, it will be slower to untwist and manipulate.
Between the 46 and the 52, there is no sensation of heaviness. These are two very close bars.
Note also that the 52 is perfectly usable on all our kites. No kite will not work or perform poorly for this reason. The 46, 57 and 62 are just optimizations for perfectionists.
It should also be noted that two bars generally age only half as fast as a single bar for the whole quiver ?
The key size is 52cm; it is the most versatile bar that you should choose if you want to have only one bar for a quiver 7-9-12 or 8-11 or even 8-10-13. If you want to add a second bar to your quiver, here are our recommendations with GONG kites:
The recommendations below are based on the behavior of GONG kites. Since our bars are compatible with a large number of kites, you can adjust your choice according to the type of kite used.
Line Length:
Your Feel-X bar comes standard with 80cm front lines, 19m of lines, and 3m extensions already mounted. The original setup is the most versatile and will be your best choice for 90% of your sessions.
One of the main advantages of the Feel-X bar is its great tolerance provided by its shape. By playing with its lengths, or even modifying them with our extensions (sold separately), you further enhance its versatility!
- 22m Lines:
The "standard" length provides a more progressive and predictable bar feeling (recommended setting for progressing kiters). Your flight window will be larger, offering more power at takeoff. This is the setting to favor in light to medium wind conditions, and for everyday freeride use. - 19m Lines:
Shorter lines offer a more direct response from the kite, increasing its reactivity. The flight window will be shorter. This is the perfect setting for advanced kiters, especially for wave riding or foil for more agility. If you choose to ride with shorter lines, you will also gain comfort in high wind conditions.
Note that 22m and 19m are not extreme line lengths and remain a fine adjustment to your piloting sensation.
Equipments
Included equipment:
- Your kite, ready to sail (excluding bar and pump).
- A sturdy and efficient backpack: U-shaped zipper for easy storage, ventilation grid, padding, compression straps, bar pocket, pump straps...
- The One Pump system for quick inflation and deflation of the battens (the clamps are not mounted on the kite; they are delivered in the repair kit included in your kite bag).
- A pump leash loop on your kite to secure your kite during inflation.
- Universal inflation valve with high flow rate.
- Repair kit.
- Micro-battens on the trailing edge.
- Rear adjustment: 3 points.
All our kites are obviously compatible with our FEEL-X bar but also with 95% of the bars on the market. If in doubt, equip yourself with a complete set (x4) of pigtails: PIGTAILS.
Remember to equip yourself with a pump ;-)
