RRD lines: the revolution is called ‘Rigid Thread Lines’
KS_In Freestyle are there any differences
in the feeling for example when
performing the pop?
Here again, I would say that it's about a
more direct feeling with the bar and the
fact that the kite responds much more
precisely, without any delay and dispersion
of power, especially when changing
direction of the kite.
KS_Do you think there is still some
room for improvement in a product already
so successful? Are you considering
some new solution?
No, we were trying lines with a different
diameter, thinner lines, and we got
to the point of reducing them by over a
millimetre so the lines were still strong
enough, but we felt that the benefit of
thinner lines would have been just the
weight, only useful for super light wind
condition for foiling for example. Therefore,
for now, as far as the lines are concerned
we are super happy to have such
an outstanding and unrivalled product
worldwide.
