TURBINE DETAILS<br />

For the larger sizes, the Turbine will continue as the ultimate light-wind kite to get you out and riding in<br />

winds as low as 5knotts. We’ve added a 19 meter to the lineup to give even more low-end range. As you<br />

go down in size and up in wind speed, the Turbine becomes a high-performance freeride kite. Due to its<br />

aspect ratio and forward position in the window, the Turbine’s upwind drive, boostability and lofty hang<br />

time are unrivaled by any other shape. Not designed for entry-level kiters, this is an amped-up platform<br />

tailored for riders who are ready for the next-level of performance.<br />

For foiling, the Turbine is as close to a race kite as you can get in an LEI format. Its shape is designed<br />

for superior speed and efficiency, while its position in the window allows for unbeatable upwind angles.<br />

TURBINE BRIDLE CONFIGURATION<br />

The turbine features a five-point cascading bridle and optimized leading edge and strut design. This configuration<br />

is engineered to give the Turbine stability and structure across a huge range of available sizes.<br />

OPEN DELTA C<br />

Blends the proven C-kite performance characteristics like power, stability, edging, control and direct feel with<br />

the additional advancements of an innovative Delta shape to deliver faster turns, improved aerodynamics and<br />

increased rigidity with more stability.<br />
