FUEL DETAILS
We’ve brought back the classic four-line configuration for the 2017 Fuel, eliminating the optional Nitrous
bridle system that was included with the 2016-16 Fuel and adding a leading edge attachment point for riders
who prefer a fifth-line setup.
Trailing edge tension is now controlled with the addition of Teijin T2 Polyester rip stop canopy material.
This decreases trailing edge flutter while enhances durability. We reinforced the one-pump inflation valve’s
connection to the bladder to help prevent blowouts caused by improper hose attachment/detachment.
Finally, we added two Kevlar patches to prevent bridle rub on the trailing edges.

TRADITIONAL-C
The original shape that started it all. The foundation of our entire kite line, the Traditional-C provides consistent
grunt and stability through the power stroke. This shape is also designed to boost, loop and predictably recover.
