 | Delta Canopy:
The Delta canopy design of the Kahoona V3 allows for a unique combination of exceptional low end power, high depower and maximum stability. The Kahoona blends favorable traits from both C-kites and SLE kites to provide an exceptional riding experience for kitesurfers of all skill levels.
|
|
 | Quad-Strut Design:
The leading edge shape and highly swept back wingtips of the Kahoona allowed the R&D team to remove the centre strut from the airframe: with one less strut in the air the Kahoona is able to turn faster, with less drag and fly in less wind than would be possible with a 5 strut layout.
|
|
 | Mini VP2 Bridle:
A short leading edge bridle provides exceptional shape support and effective distribution of canopy loads across the entire kite: the Kahoona has stability that will encourage you to push your limits. VP2's innovative pivoting design provides maximum depower from minimum bar travel making kite control simpler than ever.
|
|
 | Advanced Material Infusion:
New high performance fiber coatings on both Dacron and Rip-stop materials maximize strength and increase handling responsiveness. With reduced material elongation, the Kahoona V3 is the crispest handling and most responsive Kahoona we’ve ever designed.
|
|
 | NEW NEEDLE LEADING EDGE:
As simple as it sounds using a brand new needle every time you start to build a new leading edge isn’t standard practice in the industry- but it’s the best way to build the strongest kite possible and that’s why build the Nemesis HP this way.
|
|
 | KOOK PROOF ATTACHMENTS:
Some riders love them, some hate them, we let you make the choice whether to use them or not. Simply flip round the pigtails on the front lines of your Nemesis HP to convert it to Kook proof mode. The front flying lines of the Redline Performance Bar and bridle attachments of the HP-V3 are designed to work either way.
|
|
 | STRUT STRINGS:
Each strut bladder comes with a small draw string that passes through a covered aperture in the head of the strut casing. It’s a little detail, but it makes replacing a failed strut easier than ever.
|
|
 | AB-Custom tune:
Allows you to adjust the turning speed and bar-pressure to your personal preference. Dial in more feedback for unhooked steering response and down the line riding ability, or set the back lines for reduced bar pressure and maximum depower.
|
|
 | 3D KEVLAR AIRFRAME: Kevlar reinforced airframe construction for maximum precision, durability and minimum weight.All leading edge and strut joints on your kite are laser cut, 3D shaped and Kevlar tape reinforced.
Sure it takes a little longer and costs a little more to build kites this way, but there is no better way to connect the leading edge to the struts. |
|
 | HIDDEN BRIDLE PATCH: By placing the LE attachment points on the inside of the kite rather than on the exposed outside of the leading edge we've been able to reduce the potential for snagging seam edges and fraying the LE Dacron. For snowkiting and All-terrain riding it makes the 2010 kites the obvious choice. |
|
 | FLAT-PACK LE BARREL SEAMS: The new Flat Pack LE barrel seams contribute to the strongest LE construction we've ever made. Removing the overlap between segments has created a stronger and lighter LE construction with enhanced stiffness and torsion load handling for even greater responsiveness and durability. |
|
 | CANOPY FRAMING TECHNOLOGY: Crashing your kite is a fact of life. That's why the perimeter of each canopy segment in every kite we make is supported with a unique reinforcement zone: isolating the canopy from impact and crash loads.
For 2010, CFT now uses an even stronger mark cloth reinforcement directly between the struts and the canopy, further enhancing the strength of your kite without adding unnecessary weight.CFT is a unique approach to the tasks of distributing shock loads across the canopy of your kite and you'll only find it on Best kites. |
|
 | KEVALR ELBOWS: Enhanced leading edge protection for all conditions and all-terrain riding. Kevlar reinforced, abrasion-resistant leading edge elbow patches provide greater resistance against handling and launch/land damage. All-terrain use and snow kiting has never looked so attractive. |
|
 | LOAD-FLEX SEAM: The tip-to-tip leading edge seam on all of our kites is triple stitched with a full length webbing tape closure on the outside. The inside is fully taped with a full length mark cloth strip for maximum strength with all internal seams being smooth-taped to protect the bladders from any ridges of stitching. The Load Flex seam design provides additional support to the leading edge helping to provide maximum strength and stability to your kite; it is one of the reasons why Best kites are famed for their legendary flying stability.
|
|
 | CFT REINFORCED TRAILING EDGE: All of our 2010 kites benefit from our exclusive CFT reinforced trailing edge. Adding CFT to the leach line helps provide razor-sharp turning response and unmatched durability. CFT helps reduce the damage incurred by leaving kites flapping in the wind. |
|
 | SURF TOUGH: Surf Tough describes how we build in the absolute highest quality with every kite that we make. There are no shortcuts to great performance and lasting durability. We take pride in each and every kite that we make and that's why you will find Surf Tough features on every one of our inflatable kites. |
