Core Wakestyle's ultimate power source can be found in the Switchblade 3. Now 100% dedicated to the cause, the Switchblade 3 delivers pure wakestyle performance to the masses. The Switchblade delivers a steady powerband with the ability to ride unhooked with ease. Kite loops, handle passes, and rail slides are the kinds of things the Switchblade 3 calls routine. When hooked in, the Switchblade 3 has the ability to tame gusts with its high depower capabilities and proven Override 2 security function.
Seeing the hybrid kite as the maximum development at this moment, Advance have created the “DOUBLE HYBRID SYSTEM” moulding the best performances and qualities of bow and C kites in a unique multipurpose kite which is changeable from SLE to 5th line.
The Kondor is the true multipurpose all round kite that thanks to the introduction of technological details like the Evolved 5 th Line and the Variable Shape System can be used by riders of all levels and in any situation or style.
With the Kondor Advance Kites wanted to make a turning point in kite development - the first convertible Hybrid Kite with the Variable Shape System.
Thanks to the hard work that the R&D Team at Advance has put in we have succeeded in creating a kite that can fly with top performance either with the SLE setting or with the new 5 th line tension system “Evolved 5 th Line” which is unique in its genre and is able to change the shape and to sheet in and out while riding. The Evolved 5 th Line works in a way that the pull on the LE is distributed evenly throughout a large segment of the leading edge thanks to the six attachment points that allow the rider to alter the angle of incidence of the wind and to change the shape of the profile, therefore always having control of the power resulting in comfortable and precise riding.
Both systems SLE and Evolved 5 th Line are supplied with the Kondor leaving the choice to the rider which system suits them best for their style in order to progress fast and in total safety.
We put an incredible amount of energy into building a true hybrid kite that combines the incredible wind range and sheeting ability of a BOW kite with the direct steering and bar simplicity of a 4-line kite.
Originally developed as an all-around freeride kite, the combination of depower and positive steering has made the Flow hugely popular with our wave testers. By moving to a less swept wingtip when compared to a pure BOW design, the Flow requires less bar movement to achieve a given amount of depower while almost eliminating bar pressure. This unique geometry has allowed us to run a bar system that does not need the outside pulleys and gives the Flow excellent unhooked performance combined with incredible rider feedback and sensitivity.
Tech Features :
Versatile Hybrid design
Optimum combination of performance and ease of use
No bar pulleys ensure direct steering and reduced bar pressure
The Convert bow kite is a reflection of the people who do our sport. Rugged, with a sense of ease. The Convert is simply the easiest and most secure way to get yourself up and riding in the shortest amount of time, with the least amount of hassles.
The Convert is a full scale Bow kite from leading edge to trailing edge. This design delivers an incredibly wide wind range, stable easy handling and perhaps the most important feature on any kite ..... an enhanced relaunch function that is second to none.
