The new 2015 HQ Matrixx II is the next logical step after the first Matrixx and sets a new standard in terms of versatility.

Design and Performance

For the new Matrixx II, our design took an in-depth look and took on the latest knowledge of paragliding designs. With almost the same AR, we were able to increase the performance of the kite in every aspect. This is not only due to the new kite design, but also the performance has improved due to the new super light 20D fabric.
The new Matrixx II feels more direct, faster and offers more performance than ever before, the lift, hang time and turning speed are at a higher level. The size split of the Matrixx II is unique. The smaller sizes are well optimized for the mid wind range. The 15 and 18m are especially trimmed for light winds. Due to the usage of a lighter rib material than on the other sizes the weight on the 18m was reduced to only 3.5kg incl. the bar. This makes the 18m to be one of the best light windkites on the market.

Choice of material

The new Matrixx II has a well-chosen mix of different high-spec materials. Every size of the Matrixx II is equipped with our super light 20D ripstop materials. This material saves around 35% of weight in regards to the previous version.
For the bridle, we have chosen a super thin spliced Dyneema line, this will help to reduce the drag produced by the kite and help it to fly faster. We have also chosen material which has been proven for many years within the kiting industry highly effective for the mixer and flying lines. The precision of the manufacturing of the kite is extremely high, only using high standards like this we have been able to build a kite to a high specification and standard of performance.

Who is the Matrixx II intended for?

The Matrixx II is the perfect kite for all who like to experience the maximum of lift and hang time. This kite turns and flies fast with super light materials. This perfect combination lets you be one of the first on the water. It has never been easier to handle a closed cell foil! Yet with the new design generated this has a higher standard of stability, making it perfect to increase the personal riding level for any rider without paying too much attention to the kite. The Matrixx II combines characteristics of different disciplines without their difficulty in handling, so no more tip tucking, big turning radius or difficult launching. It is simply a more enjoyable way of kiting, you just unpack the kite and enjoy every second of your ride. Every size is perfectly adjusted for its wind range. If you want to do long and high jumps, go upwind without thinking about it and experience high end performance, the Matrixx II is the kite of your choice.

2016 Ozone Access V6 Snow Kite Wind

The all new Internal Re-Ride Safety System is the result of intense research and development with the aim to create the safest system on the market. The goal was to have a re-ride system that once activated the kite can easily be re-launched without having to untangle or clear any lines. The new system stalls the kite with an internal line – the kite depowers instantly without tangling and will sit on the ground ready to re-launch when you’re ready again. Another big advantage of our Internal Re-Ride Safety System is the landing and secure option. We have added the Secure Loop in the line approx 2m away from the rider. To land the kite with no pull simply pull the 5th line through the chicken loop until you reach the Secure Loop. The kite will stall and fall to the ground without any pull. Use the Secure Loop in the 5th line to keep the kite on the ground - it can either be hooked onto a carabineer on your harness or onto the bar horn. This makes landing and packing your kite safe and easy even in high winds. We thoroughly enjoyed developing and testing the Internal Re-Ride Safety System throughout the last season. It has made mountain climbing and packing on top so much more enjoyable, safe, easy and quick for the user. Please note, the new Internal Re-Ride Safety System cannot be upgraded to any older kites as it includes lines that are running inside your kite. Also, for reverse launch and light wind landing we have kept the Brake Stall Handle between the back leader lines.

2016 Ozone R1 V2

Read more on what Ozone says about the 2016 Ozone R1 V2

Brand new for 2016, the 2016 Ozone R1 V2 is now available for pre-ordering. Developed without compromise using proven R1 racing and Chrono V2 technology, the 2016 Ozone R1 V2 produces breath-taking speed and performance. The ultra clean leading edge, smooth surfaces and number of cells give an insight into its capabilities. But it's what you can't see that makes this race focused kite so special, the feeling on the bar and the responsiveness of this high aspect wing is unique. Our newly calculated sail tension brings a level of stability that surpasses every high performance kite we have ever produced by far. Combined with new diagonal ribs, a high aspect ratio planform, reduced cell width and a new high performance profile the boundaries of performance have been re-defined again. The 2016 Ozone R1 V2 is truly a race pedigree performance kite that will inspire confidence to the rider while delivering outstanding racing performance on the water, land or snow.

The 2016 Ozone R1 V2 is for advanced riders only who have previous foil kite experience. It is not difficult to fly but there are techniques required to fly a high aspect ratio foil kite. The 2016 Ozone R1 V2 will require maintenance just like any high performance equipment in racing sports, for example replacing tires or piston rings on motorbikes, the R1 V2's Speed System and Bridle Lines must be checked after every 60 hours flying time, if they worn or are not to factory specifications (+ or - 1 cm) then they must be replaced or the kite will not perform as designed.Ozone R1 bridle specs. The 2016 Ozone R1 V2 is a closed cell foil and is water re-launchable, but we recommend that you keep it flying and out of the water if possible! A drainage system on the wing tip allows any water that may have entered the kite to drain out. The 2016 Ozone R1 V2 features a simple yet effective front line flag out release. After releasing the flag out you should check the speed system, bridle lines and your flying lines for twists before restart. The 2016 Ozone R1 V2 is not a wave kite and should not be used in waves.

When you choose KITE ONLY - This package comes with the compression strap and repair kit only, no bag. This is to minimize costs for our customers who want to buy kite only. When you choose KITE COMPLETE - This is the full deal and comes with the Ozone R1 V2, the Foil Race Bar and race lines, a Kompressor bag, a Technical Bag and a ground stake. The Kompressor bag we recommend for all racers who will have more than one kite, this is a fantastic light weight bag to keep the kite in perfect condition and all the bridles in place. We will have full instructions on how to use this coming to you soon. The Technical Bag is a tougher back pack design with a bar pocket and is more for the recreational kiter who would like to have a better option for carrying the kite to and from the beach. PRICES. You will see that the prices have gone up from last years kites, this is due to the new ultralight material being used and the complexity of the design. Our design brief for this kite was a no holds barred design for the top racers and people looking to have the fastest kite out there. We did not hold back in the design or material choice and the price reflects this. If you have customers looking for a more all round performing kite at a better price then we have the Chrono V2 in the range which is still a high performance foil kite. 

Rikki, Johnny, Nico P and Nico L have all been proving over the past month that the 2016 Ozone R1 V2 design is highly competitive by scoring lots of bullets and winning the races that they have entered. We hope that you and your riders will love this new dimension in performance as much as we do. 

2016 Ozone R1 V2 Design and Performance Features

• High cell count – The high number of cells in the R1 V2 reduces ballooning between the cells holding the wing shape and surfaces smoother and cleaner. This creates a reduction in turbulent airflow, giving the Ozone R1 V2 more speed and increased depower.
• Optimized leading edge air intakes – Precisely positioned intake valves along the LE lead to a stability increase and a more solid kite downwind. The inflation is also now easier and safer as the kite rapidly inflates.
• LE profile reinforcements – The Leading Edge is reinforced with flexible lightweight plastic battens to maintain the shape of the profile during angle of attack changes and turbulent airflow.
• Internal diagonals and straps – Internal span-wise straps work in unison with optimized diagonal ribs, distributing load into and across the sail evenly and effectively. Together the diagonals and straps lower sail tension and increase the structural balance that helps control this high aspect ratio kite.
• High performance bridle lines – Using high performance thin Kevlar bridle line, the Ozone R1 V2 flies faster, and so accelerates faster giving it higher performance, more range and more depower due to less drag.
• High performance materials – High-tenacity sail cloth with extremely low porosity values and an overall lightweight enable us to further stabilize the canopy and maximize fast flight characteristics.
• Velcro + water out channels – A 20mm internal channel is shaped into the end of the cells along the trailing edge to allow water run-out between the cells and out of the tips during flight. The Velcro dirt out channels can be opened for cleaning the kite. Always clean your kite by emptying any water, sand or dirt as this will prolong the life of the kite and help it fly as designed.

Flysurfer Infinity 3.0 Airstyle Bar

Read more about what Flysurfer says about the Flysurfer Infinity 3.0 Airstyle Bar

Best grip, robust security, high-quality lines, endless rotations and multiple possibilites for individual adjustments. The Flysurfer Infinity 3.0 Airstyle Bar is the control option from Flysurfer for everyone – from beginners to pros. The Flysurfer Infinity 3.0 Airstyle Bar is streamlined, simple, and at the same time impressive in terms of functionality. Anyone who likes big air or who occasionally kites in overpowered conditions should get their hands on the INFINITY 3.0 Airstyle BAR.

The Flysurfer Infinity 3.0 Airstyle Bar delivers pure enjoyment in every jump. With the best grip, reliable safety function, high quality lines, endless rotations and several ways to customize the Bar setup; it fully satisfies the needs of Freeriders, Airstylers and fans of Big Air. The Quick Release 3.0 was certificated with the french standard (AFNOR) and is therefore a quality and safety feature of the INFINITY 3.0 Airstyle BAR.

The Pull-Pull Adjuster makes presetting the depower possible with one handle. The integrated swivel function untwists the lines smoothly and flawlessly — even after many rotations — by simply powering up the Bar. In addition, the Bar width and the steering lines can be adjusted and optimized to meet the needs of the rider.

Flysurfer Infinity 3.0 Airstyle Bar Tech. Data

Quick Release 3.0 The Quick Release 3.0 (QR 3.0) is the core of the bar. It not only meets the French standard (AFNOR) in terms of safety and trigger forces, it is also extremely robust, compact, lightweight and of course reliable. A flexible, unbreakable Chicken Dick and a new ergonomic handle allow a quick and easy release of the kite in an emergency situation.	Infinite Rotations The smooth, integrated swivel function of the Quick Release 3.0 provides an automatic untwisting of the flying lines when powering up the bar. The safety system remains fully functional even after numerous rotations in one direction.
Ergonomic Grip Design The slim, lightweight Control Bar features a fresh-green signal color on the right-hand side and is available in two lengths – 50 and 60cm. The abrasion-resistant, ergonomic EVA grip is extremely comfortable for the hand and assures solid control even in cold or wet conditions.	Double-V-Shaped Eyelet The optimized and reduced-friction Double-V-Shaped Eylet ensures an easy and direct steering response. The powering up and depower functions work even when when you turn the Bar.
Pull-Pull Adjuster The Pull-Pull Adjuster allows for the adjustment of the ratio of the lines (front to control lines) with a short handle, even when the kite in the air. This allows the user to regulate the depower function optimally and quickly. Below the Adjuster is a simple sliding stopper ball. We recommend the use of the stopper ball to advanced riders and ambitious airstylers when kiting in constant winds.	Tuning Options At the integrated Winder you can change the bar width by up to 5 cm, which is recommended when using a bar for many kite sizes. Additionally, the control lines can be adjusted below the floaters, meaning you can counteract the effects of shortened steering lines and tendency to backstall. These features allow the bar setup to be individually adjusted to the rider.
Low Drag Flying Lines The low-drag flying lines (length: 21m) have an impressively-low air resistance (diameter: 1.45mm Front / Back 1,2mm) and a very high breaking load (300kg Front / Back 200kg). For years we have put our trust in our parter LIROS for supplying high-quality lines. The 60cm Airstlye Bar setup is additionally equipped with 6m extensions of the flying lines. Thanks to this feature, the low end gets even more effective when using one of our larger kites.	Frontline-Safety (FLS) It is our standard at FLYSURFER to use the system of the Frontline Safety – this additional FLS end line is incorporated approximately in the middle of a front line – the exact details are always dependent on the kite line and the kite size. However, some FLYSURFER kite lines use a different safey system. The VIRON, for example, has a Raff-Safety. For lovers of the 5th line, a FDS conversion kit (full depower system) is available in most product lines.

Flysurfer Infinity 3.0 Race Bar Pro

Read more on what Flysurfer says about the Flysurfer Infinity 3.0 Race Bar Pro

We know that in competition every small advantage counts. The Flysurfer Infinity 3.0 Race Bar Pro offers you a few trump cards: thinner low-drag flying line construction, a 4:1 Pulley Clam Cleat Adjuster, and optimized line guidance through the Double-V-Shaped Eylet

Any rider who is serious about competing and wants to get the maximum performance from the kite should look to the Flysurfer Infinity 3.0 Race Bar Pro. This bar has numerous features to aid you on your way to victory. Best grip, reliable safety function and several ways to customize the Bar setup leave the racer nothing to be desired. The Quick Release 2.0 was certificated with the french standard (AFNOR) and is therefore a Quality and Safety feature of the Flysurfer Infinity 3.0 Race Bar Pro. The 4:1 Pulley Clam Cleat Adjuster enables quick and accurate response to changing circumstances or specific competition situations.

The reduced diameter Race back-lines, the short Frontline Safety, and optimized line guidance through the Double-V-Shaped Eylet provide a maximum reduction of air resistance—and possibly the decisive advantage in your race. In addition, the bar width and the steering lines can be optimized to the needs of the rider. Flysurfer Infinity 3.0 Race Bar Pro is excluded from the 12-month Free-Repair Guarantee by FLYSURFER. This Bar setup is intended for Racing only and is not suitable for jumping! 

Flysurfer Infinity 3.0 Race Bar Pro Tech. Data

Quick Release 2.0 As expected, the Quick Release 2.0 (QR 2.0) has fullfilled the requirements for the French safety standard (AFNOR). No matter the circumstances, the QR 2.0 is always reliable and lets you get yourself out of a dangerous situation immediately and by using only one handle. It’s super smooth and can be conveniently unscrewed manually.	Ergonomic Grip Design The slim, lightweight Control Bar features a fresh-green signal color on the right-hand side and is available in two lengths – 50 and 60cm. The abrasion-resistant, ergonomic EVA grip is extremely comfortable for the hand and assures solid control even in cold or wet conditions.
Double-V-Shaped Eyelet The optimized and reduced-friction Double-V-Shaped Eylet ensures an easy and direct steering response. The powering up and depower function works even when when you turn the Bar	Clam-Cleat Race Adjuster The smooth-running 4:1 Pulley Clamcleat Race Adjuster stands apart with its simple and precise adjustment possibilities (with a 55cm-long depower distance).
Optimized Air Drag Race Flying Line System For the Race flying lines (length 21m), we have worked to find an optimal balance between diameter reduction and breaking load (front 1.45mm / 300kg – Back 0.8mm / 160kg). Additionally, we have conciously included a very short Frontline Safety (FLS), which represents an extension of a front line. This reduces the air resistance of the entire Race flying-line construction, which has the direct advantage of allowing the kit to reach higher speeds. Finally, the line guide is optimized by the double-V-Shaped eyelet in the Bar handle. Optional Race flying-line extensions in 2m or 4m are available in the FLYSURFER Webshop. For years we have put our trust in our parter LIROS for supplying high-quality lines.	Tuning Options At the integrated Winder you can change the bar width by up to 5 cm, which is recommended when using a bar for many kite sizes. Additionally, the control lines can be adjusted below the floaters, meaning you can counteract the effects of shortened steering lines and tendency to backstall. These features allow the bar setup to be individually adjusted to the rider.

Flysurfer Peak2

Innovations

The Flysurfer Kiteboarding R&D team always tries to give kitesports more variety. It was through allowing ourselves the room and opportunity to achieve truly innovative products that we created the first Single-Skin kite. For years, Reinhart Paelinck worked to achieve his dream to build the world’s most versatile kite. Flysurfer had high expectations to improve this unique product even more – and we knew it could be achieved through the combined expert knowledge of our Paragliding and Foil-kite development team. Now, with the PEAK2, Reinhart and Flysurfer have made the next leap forward. The PEAK2 has unmatched low-end, enhanced stability and even more performance – but it still comes in a lighter and smaller package! We’re proud that we were able to further improve this innovative Single-Skin kite product.

Added value

The PEAK2 is your personal lift to the summit of mountains. No pre-inflation or pumping is needed, so it’s always ready to go for a session. Its unmatched low-end power will guide you to new locations, even in the slightest breeze, and thanks to its effective depower, you’ll be safe and in control, even in stronger winds. The PEAK2 will soon become your go-to kite, the kite you want to use every day, so you won’t miss out on that great session, even as a beginner. Because of its small packing size, and its touring bag/harness, you can literally take the PEAK2 anywhere you want. This combination will make it your ultimate toy either on snow, sand, grass or asphalt. It’s your passport to pure freedom.

Safety

When it comes to safety, we do not compromise. The PEAK2 now has incredible stability in light breezes or gusty strong winds, so you always remain in charge, no matter what happens. After activating the Infinity 2.0 quick release on the Infinity Light control bar, the front-line safety (FLS) makes the PEAK2 flag-out downwind with no remaining pull. Whether you need to reverse launch, backstall landings, or simply drop the kite at the edge of the wind window for a short break, the PEAK2 does it all, giving you optimum control in every situation.

Usability

Choose your favourite size from the new PEAK2 line-up – 12.0m, 9.0m, 6.0m or 4.0m. Whichever you opt for, your PEAK2 will be delivered ready-to-fly and complete with your Infinity Light control bar and flying lines. It’s ideally suited for backcountry touring, free-ride snowkiting, kite landboarding or buggying – even unhooked freestyle tricks are possible. When it comes to improving your skills, the PEAK2 also stands out from the crowd, making it the perfect choice for kite schools. And thanks to the easy controllability, it allows for pure fun in your kiting sessions, even for children. Once equipped with our kite and touring bag/harness, all you need to do is hook in the Infinity quick release on your Infinity Light control bar and prepare for launch. Whether you’re on land or snow, only the sky is the limit with the new PEAK2 from Flysurfer!

Flysurfer Peak2 Features

Innovative single-skin depower concept

Compared to its ram-air double-skin cousins in our line-up, the PEAK2 has no bottom sail, resulting in a huge reduction in weight and more performance per square metre. And thanks to the efficiency of the PEAK2’s depower system, the power is controllable. When it comes to low-end and wind range, the PEAK2 definitely sets new standards.

Unmatched low-end

Fun in 3-4 knots? The PEAK2 makes it possible! Even in extreme light winds, the kite provides incredible stability, usability and perfect control.

Minimalistic pack-size

The super-small pack size of only 52x14x14cm (HxLxW) for the 6.0m ready-to-fly PEAK2 means it fits easily in any travel bag, saving you money on additional sports equipment charges. The minimalistic weight of the 6.0m r.t.f (1.94kg) is a huge advantage in comparison to common closed-cell, open-cell or LEI snow kites – which you’ll definitely appreciate while hiking up mountains!

Infinity Light control bar

The new lightweight bar for the PEAK2 is robust with a more comfortable grip, a new adjuster (clamcleat) and the proven 2.0 quick-release system with easy untwisting function, so you can enjoy even better comfort while reaching the top of the world.

No compromise on safety

A proven front-line safety (FLS), the 2.0 quick-release and Infinity Light control bar gives you maximum security about your safety. If activated, the Infinity 2.0 quick release can be reassembled within seconds, so your PEAK2 is ready to fly again.

Quality of workmanship and durability

With the PEAK2 we remain true to the Flysurfer philosophy to make our products durable. As an additional service we also offer the Flysurfer 12-month free repair warranty.

Fast and easy handling

No pre-filling or pumping is necessary, simply unpack the PEAK2 and you’re ready to go in the blink of an eye. It really is the most user-friendly kite in kitesports history!

Touring bag with integrated kite harness

This optional extra is a light trekking backpack with an integrated harness in which you can put conventional hydration packs. The straps on the touring bag attach around your waist and thighs, while the chicken loop attaches via special metal loops. This saves the need to bring a standard bulky and heavy harness along. But this bag is not a harness replacement – it’s designed for maximum weight savings for expeditions and freeriding.

Universal application

Whether it’s on land or snow, with a kite landboard or a buggy, skis or snowboards, for free-ride or teaching purposes, adults or children, beginners or advanced, for urban street kiting or as a travelling companion, the PEAK2 is your ultimate toy for a daily session.

Flysurfer Sonic-FR Kite Features

Double Cordwise Ballooning Double Cordwise Ballooning is minimizing the creasing of the cells on the kite to an absolute minimum. With exactly calculated arc-shaped panel cuts, double-stitched and glued seams a perfectly smooth, high performance airfoil is created. This optimizes the aerodynamics, especially the glide ratio, and the low end.	Flat Winglet Technology The Flat Winglet technology reduces the induced aerodynamic drag, but at the same time increases lift. This leads to a noticeable improvement in lift to glide ratio and forward flying speed of the kite. As well as better turning speed without wingtip collaps.
Maximum Pressure Valves The M.P.V in the center of the leading edge provide maximum air pressure inside the kite. The kite fills fast and accelerates even when fully depowered. A moving separator inside the valve transfers the airflow directly into the kite, regardless of angle of attack. Therefor the kite is stiffer, more responsive and stable.	Low Drag Lines Thanks to a new ultra high-strength Dyneema SK99 fiber core, we developed in cooperation with LIROS new, significantly thinner race lines. The front lines have only 1.45mm thickness and 300kg breaking load, the back lines an amazing 0.8mm thickness and 160kg breaking load. The completely unsleeved Dyneema bridle is correspondingly even thinner.
Rigid Foil Technology The Rigid Foil Technology is used to reduce wrinkles on the leading edge. This results in reduced aerodynamic drag and enhanced kite stability. Rigid Foils are also used to stiffen the trailing edge of the kite canopy. As a result, the Flysurfer Sonic-FR Kite translates every gust of wind into propulsion without deforming the canopy. Thanks to the Rigid Foil Ribs the kite canopy is stiffer and more dynamic.	Cloth Material Thanks to Double Cordwise Ballooning and Rigid Foil Technology we have found a technical solution that eliminates the slight weight penalty and wrinkling of the Deluxe cloth. Different fabrics are used for internal ribs, v-cells and straps since airtightness is less significant here, but diagonal stiffness is important. The Flysurfer Sonic-FR Kite top and bottom sail fabric are deluxe cloth, which has no disadvantage in performance and pricing is not increased unnecessarily.
Triple Depower Technology There are 3 ways the kite achieves its maximum depower: Reducing the angle of attack, profile change and reducing the projected area. This leads to a huge wind range and ideal handling.	Automatic Drainage System The proven drainage system integrated in the whole trailing edge of the kite, with finally openings near the tips, about the size of a hand. They allow water and sand to be drained automatically, without influencing the performance of the kite.
Sharp Mini Ribs To optimize the airfoil, the number of cells on the trailing edge has been doubled. This gives the SONIC-FR a razor-sharp trailing edge, otherwise known only from competition paraglider’s. Drag is reduced and the kite remains light.	IKA registered FLYSURFER is passionate about kite-racing and has registered the Flysurfer Sonic-FR Kite kite officially. This allows you to attend every official IKA racing event.

Flysurfer Speed4 Lotus Kite

Read more on what Flysurfer says about the Flysurfer Speed4 Lotus Kite

The Flysurfer Speed4 Lotus Kite is the best all round closed-cell foilkite on the market. Unlimited performance, huge range of use, superb hang-time and water-relaunch, experience stoke on every terrain. Excitement through unique versatility, for all riding levels.

The Flysurfer Speed4 Lotus Kite product line has become a synonym for pure performance, ever since its introduction in 2001. A sleek and stretched out machine ensuring low-end performance, maximum upwind ability and airtime. The key to the sustained success of the Flysurfer Speed4 Lotus Kite was continuous improvement of overall performance and kite handling – “power is nothing without control” could have been the slogan for the SPEED3. Turning ability, handling, stability and depower have reached a very high level. With the Flysurfer Speed4 Lotus Kite, we were able to gain another step in both “power” and “control”. The improved design and profiles in conjunction with the new Lotus kite cloth push the boundaries of low-end, upwind, lift and hangtime once more.

At FLYSURFER we have always set high standards on quality and durability. The highlight is the use of a completely new type of cloth material with a so-called Lotus effect, an industry first in kiteboarding. This material is not only extremely airtight and has excellent water- and stain-resistance, it is so smooth that we can not even print on the kite. The Flysurfer Speed4 Lotus Kite cloth is a staggering 25% lighter than our already very light deluxe cloth! This weight reduction means: the kite is flies even earlier, can be packed-up smaller, is easier than ever before, to get out of the water and the cloth remains airtight even after countless hours of flight time – maintaining the same performance as the day you bought it.

Flysurfer Speed4 Lotus Kite Features

Unbelievable Low-End The Flysurfer Speed4 Lotus Kite reduces the minimum wind requirements considerably. Especially in combination with high-performance kiteboards and hydrofoils this advantages is very noticeable.	Maximum Performance The optimized and smoother profiles of the top and bottom sails as well as the reduced line drag effect, have a noticeable effect on the total performance of the wing. Thanks to these new technologies, a significant increase in performance has been achieved on the Flysurfer Speed4 Lotus Kite.
Lotus Kite Cloth The Flysurfer Speed4 Lotus Kite cloth is very sleek, airtight, up to 25% lighter than our deluxe cloth and makes for an extremely smooth top and bottom sail. This advantage is clearly noticeable: earlier flying, tighter turning and more stability. Water and dirt is automatically repelled from the kite.	Automatic Drainage System The Flysurfer Speed4 Lotus Kite proven drainage system is located on both ends of the trailing edge near the tips, openings that are about the size of a hand. They allow water and sand to be drained automatically, without influencing the performance of the kite.
Reduced Pack-Size Because of the Flysurfer Speed4 Lotus Kite cloth, packing size is again significantly reduced, so your kite luggage becomes even more compact.	High Performance Flying Lines Thanks to new Flysurfer Speed4 Lotus Kite Dyneema core fibers, we could reduce the diameter of the new high-performance flying lines significantly, creating less drag, while retaining the same breaking loads of the lines.
Uniform Bar Setup The Flysurfer Speed4 Lotus Kite is equipped with a Infinity 2.0 control bar which uses the 1m long leader lines of the CRONIX. This allows the control bar to be used on both kites. It is only necessary to ensure that the stopper knot is set to the longest FLS position of the kite which is used.	Full Depower Safety Upgrade-Kit (FDS) By default, the Flysurfer Speed4 Lotus Kite is equipped with a frontline safety (FLS). For fans and supporters of the 5th line safety system, we have developed a FDS upgrade-kit, which can be ordered in our online-shop or at a FLYSURFER dealer near you.

In general, FLYSURFER Kiteboarding products are well known for their high performance in low wind conditions. The SPEED5 joins these footsteps and shows a solid performance and fun factor from 8 knots onwards.

2016 Flysurfer Speed5 Kite Easy Handling

The development team emphasized on easy handling of the 2016 Flysurfer Speed5 Kite. The result is a fast set-up, effortless steering and riding as well as easy launching and landing. The power builds up comfortably, the depower is progressive and no effort is needed for steering, which makes the SPEED5 very comfortable to ride. Unpacking and launching of the SPEED5 is simple and fast. Launching can be done independently. This results in a relaxed and fast setup, which leaves more time for your session. The relaunch capability of the SPEED5 is outstanding – even in the lowest wind conditions, water relaunch is no problem.

2016 Flysurfer Speed5 Kite Big Air

The development team emphasized easy handling of the 2016 Flysurfer Speed5 Kite. The result is a fast set-up, effortless steering and riding as well as easy launching and landing. Because of its steady increase of lift, take-offs and high controllable jumps are made easy. An aspect ratio of 6.15 in combination with an optimized profile and rigid-foils increase the glide ratio. In comparison to the SPEED4 this results in a stronger kick, increased jumping height, hang time and an even slightly better upwind performance. The faster and more precise turning of the SPEED5 makes its use a blast.

2016 Flysurfer Speed5 Kite Travel Comfort

FLYSURFER’s virtue is to enable customers to travel light and comfortably. For that reason the 2016 Flysurfer Speed5 Kite has light and small packaging. The light weight allows easy transportation – whether it is for your adventure holidays or business trips. In addition, the kite bag features enough space for even more kites.

2016 Flysurfer Speed5 Kite Features

The technical features are generated from many years of experience of the FLYSURFER developing and workshop team and their close collaboration.

2016 Flysurfer Speed5 Kite DLX+ Cloth

The DLX+ cloth is FLYSURFER’s newest cloth material and has exclusively been developed for the 2016 Flysurfer Speed5 Kite. Its base fabric is stronger and with improved air density due to optimized coating. This prolongs the durability and resistance of the canopy to aging. Additionally the cloth features shiny fresh colors.

2016 Flysurfer Speed5 Kite Strong Construction

The new internal construction raises the quality of FLYSURFER foil kites to a new level. Double-stitched seams and extra taped ribs and straps provide even more stability.

2016 Flysurfer Speed5 Kite Automatic Drainage System

Our reliable drainage system is integrated into the canopy of the 2016 Flysurfer Speed5 Kite. Openings that are about the size of a hand are located on both ends of the trailing edge near the tips. They allow water and sand to be drained automatically, without influencing the performance of the kite.

2016 Flysurfer Speed5 Kite Triple Depower Technology

1. Depowering by pushing away the bar, modifies the angle of attack
2. The second depower option on the 2016 Flysurfer Speed5 Kite involves the adaptive canopy curve. By simply moving the bar, the kite bridle gradually modifies the canopy curve of the kite and thus influences the power of the kite
3. Through modification of the mixer the airfoil camber adjusts to the wind conditions. For light winds a bulbous airfoil camber is beneficial whereas a flat airfoil camber is best for strong winds.

2016 Flysurfer Speed5 Kite LIROS Dyneema Lines

FLYSURFER Kiteboarding trusts in the lines of LIROS that are produced in Germany with a high quality standard. Thanks to their strong Dyneema core fibers, a reduced line diameter is possible while maintaining equal breaking strength.

2016 Flysurfer Speed5 Kite Optional 5th Line

By default the 2016 Flysurfer Speed5 Kite is equipped with a Front Line Safety (FLS). For sympathizers of the fifth line safety system, we have developed a Full Depower Safety (FDS) upgrade-kit, which is available in the FLYSURFER online-shop or at a dealer.

2016 Flysurfer Speed5 Kite Double Cordwise Ballooning

The Double Cordwise Ballooning technology ensures the canopy inflates into the designed 3D shape. This means that exact calculations of profiles and seams are implemented, minimizing creases in the cells and therefore ensuring the optimum in aerodynamics, glide ratio and low-end performance.

2016 Flysurfer Speed5 Kite Rigid Foil Technology (RFT)

The Rigid Foil Technology reduces wrinkles in the cloth on the leading edge. This results in reduced aerodynamic drag and thus increasing the lift of the kite. As a result, the kite translates every gust of wind into propulsion without deforming the canopy. Over all, the RFT increases the kite dynamics while maintaining a light weight and a small in pack size.

2016 Flysurfer Speed5 Kite Uniform Bar Setup

Our Infinity 3.0 Control Bar system is designed to be used on all FLYSURFER kites. It is only necessary to ensure that the stopper knot is set to the longest FLS position of the kite of choice.

2016 Flysurfer Speed5 Kite Workmanship

Each cloth, each line and each component has been tested extensively by Flysurfer. We constantly create more work for ourselves in order to guarantee pure worry-free kiting fun. When it comes to materials and components, we always go for quality and functionality over price.
