The KOBRA 06 is the result of the development of single factors that once put together create an astonishing result. In the study of the evolution of the wing profile we have been focusing on different styles rather then a single one which has resulted in better performance.
High tech standards of construction and the choice of top quality materials led to the construction of a kite that puts together a light and robust
structure, where reinforcements are strategically placed whilst still ensuring aerodynamic performance.
The control bar, as well as the flying lines are accessories that contribute to the full performance of the KOBRA 06.
The 5X5 line system, as well the adjustable "Snake Eggs" (Stopper Balls) are all set up in the bar, with this system of stopper balls you have
perfect control over the 5th line in every situation.
Exclusively developed for ADVANCE Kites, by Q- Power, the flying lines are distortion free and give the rider a feeling of direct and instant command / response to and from the kite, letting the new KOBRA 06 perform to its full potential, giving the rider lots of fun and above all good kiting. |

C-Kite simplicity with the legendary Lift Performance
In its 6th year, the Lift remains a benchmark for all-around performance C kites. The focus on the 07 Lifts has been to increase the smoothness of the power delivery and to deliver consistent performance through all sizes.
Further refinements in construction have increased seam, trailing edge, and wingtip reinforcement as well as improving panel orientation to remove any span-wise seams from the front 60% of the canopy. This ensures improved foil shape under load and better long term performance.
Tech Features :
Smooth power delivery
Refined C-Kite design
Consistent performance in all sizes
Versatile 5 Line/4 Line Bar design |

We spend half a season doing various tests and adjustment on the canopy, to get to a superb flying object like the HAWK; we went all the way beyond the philosophy of bow kites.
The first step to create a 2th generation bow, was to remove the pulley from the bar , but still able to de-power 99%, keeping a light pressure on the bar, smooth feeling with good speed.
The second step was to keep the de-power line to a standard length, while keeping the
characteristic of a bow huge de-power : the result was excellent.
We reduced the power line up to 35 cm only, practically very similar to a normal power line, but
still be able to de-power the kite 99%.
Fantastic result seen that is combined to a normal 45 or 55 cm bar.
The third, but not the last, was to find a very good balance of the front pressures to keep the kite steady in strong and gusty winds; thanks to a very fast canopy, a classic bar, no pulley on the front bridles the gust is manage instinctively with out even realize.
One of the target for hawk are "WAVES" with a directional board, using the HAWK ability of de-power all the way and the float into the air, for a better free surf, regain the power back by simply pull the bar against you and go back to catch another wave !!
HAWK with is conventional bar is also perfect for freestyle un-hooked, thanks to the speed and floating abilities; the free-riders will be amazed from the superior qualities of the HAWK, compare to normal C kite, better canopy profile deliver more speed |

After the big success of the lst year, we upgraded the W-Tribe design to achieve the H-Core Freestyler whishes.
Antoine after testing it, litteraly stolen the protos for the last KPWT leg.
Easy, Super-Easy, Light pressure bar but powerful traction.
Kiteloop are so easy in every conditions, W-Tribe are the weapon for the Freestyle Moves.
but not only freestyle is the features : also in Wave riding, thank's to his extreme speed, w-Tribe can compete with bow designs.
New graphics, and a new Y 5th line active with 4 flying lines.
From ever we have chosen the 4 lines setup instead the "3 to 4 lines" setup, simply 'cause with the TWISTER C-Loop ... we don't have any problem of lines twisting : just turn it and lines and 5th lines will be clear in second. And everytime connected at the Safety Line !! |

Medium-High AR to reduce the Low-End and a light rider (70kg) can get up with 7/8 knots.
Patriot is a machine for the free-riders that loves old style moves, with is superior lang time, it also does 't neglect new hard-core moves in light wind.
Patriot is exclusively design from Eric Hertsens in Cabarete.
The new canopy increase stability and wind range thanks to a double front panel that create a better aerodynamic shape.
Patriot has a little less depower effect than W-Tribe, but a huge power on low-end it's designed for that.
Dacron reinforcement on the tips, LE and TE for better resistance against abrasion and for a better wing profile.
Double active 5th line connection points. |

Several years of research on new types of Kites have led TAKOON to rewrite the whole sport of kitesurfing. A new generation of Kite is born.
While others look for new ways of making artificially the sport safer, TAKOON has concentrated its efforts on working on a whole concept which integrates both the control system and the kite. This approach is aimed at keeping the feel of the usual classical 4-line kite while at the same time
enhancing the wind range, reinforcing security and making the gear simpler to use.
In terms of design, the kite is relatively flat and uses a bridle system on its leading edge that allows the kite to rotate frontward.
The control system is particular to the kite but still has the usual characteristics: large chicken loop, adjustment strap, 4 line connection points. |

Equipped with the new XDbar which increases the Air’s turning ability and offers more autonomy, this kite is going to be the ‘high-performance’ kite of the year.
The new XDbar winder allows to transfer traction from the lines straight on the bar and to increase turning ability. The AIR kite features faster turning ! Also this new winder offers 2 bar sizes in 1: 47 or 55cm. Regarding the kite size you ride switch from 47 to 55cm easily.

| The Outrage is Windwing's highest aspect, highest performing, and highest jumping kite for the advanced rider who demands maximum performance to be all he or she can be. The range on the Outrage is insane by itself, but when coupled with the optional Windwing S.A.F.E. System bridle and bar, the result is exponential. The Outrage in S.A.F.E. mode has arguably the broadest range of any kite ever made. |

All it takes is a Spark, and you have a fire.
That's the idea behind the Spark small inflatable kites from Windwing. The Spark is designed as a school/on-water trainer kite that flies like a big inflatable and traditionlally re-launches like one too. The idea is to give the student a as close a simulation to a full-sized kite as possible, without the danger and control issues inherent with larger kites. |
|
| The Rage II is the most user-friendly, versatile, and safest kite on the planet. It is a quick-turning, medium-aspect, 5-strut kite with exceptional range and upwind performance. The Rage II has excellent traditional re-launchability, yet it is also compatible with the new Windwing S.A.F.E. system and bars, or the Windwing JumpStart re-launch system with most "normal" 4-line bars. |
|
| The Rapture II is Windwing 's latest technological creation. It is the highest profile kite in the market for sheer pleasure, efficiency, safety and ease of use. The Rapture II is the culmination of many years of ongoing exploration into the High-Pro (high projected area) kites. Why? A high-projected kite provides the highest effective lift area while having minimal drag and weight. This is the primary design goal of the 2005 Rapture and now the Rapture II. |

The Unlimiting Factor
The HadlowPro was designed and built for the world's best freestyle rider, Aaron Hadlow. The development of this kite has been relentless to meet the demands of his new-school style of technical, competition-level riding. While most other brands have closed their C-shape product lines, we have continued to innovate in this important, performance-led field.
The HadlowPro's development was pushed by the fact that Aaron is one of the most progressive riders around. His style is constantly changing and evolving and as such this kite is a way into his current style of mega-loops and powered, tweaked, wake-style moves. |
