PRODUCT FOCUS
Flysurfer Speed5
foil kites to a new level. Double-stitched
seams and extra
taped ribs and straps provide
even more stability. Our reliable
drainage system is integrated
into the canopy of the SPEED5.
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.
Triple Depower Technology
Depowering by pushing away
the bar, modifies the angle of
attack
The second depower option on
the SPEED5 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
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.
LIROS Dyneema Lines - FLY-
SURFER 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.
Optional 5th Line - By default
the SPEED5 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.
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.
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.
Uniform Bar Setup - Our Infinity
3.0 Control Bar system is designed
to be used on all FLYSUR-
FER kites. It is only necessary to
ensure that the stopper knot is
set to the longest FLS position
of the kite of choice.
