Hybrid kitesurf kite FURTIVE V.1

The FURTIVE is the kite you need to break records with a twintip, a gun or a foil! Hang Time: it launches you really high and keeps you up there for long thanks to its lift Optimized upwind speed/angle compromise with an unbelievable traction towards the edge of the window Unparalleled dynamic stability in flight with accurate bar information Maximum power and acceleration thanks to the high aspect ratio and moderate ARC Complete control of the profile and distortions thanks to the all new W5 bridle and the 5 struts In 2014, Alex CAIZERGUES asked us for some custom kites to beat his own speed record of 56.62 kts. The design brief was to reach a maximum speed by riding over-powered with a 6.5m² on the speed run with an average wind of 50 kts… We have therefore worked on a kite with more aspect ratio and 5 struts. But during the development, two things happened: First we were surprised by the enjoyment we had when riding with this kite. This is due to the thrills it provides thanks to its performance (who doesn’t like speed and acceleration…?) but also thanks to its hang-time. Then the foil riders in search for a long distance weapon became interested in this kite and immediately wanted to use it. DESIGN: The FURTIVE features a high aspect ratio for high performance and 5 struts to control the profile. The leading edge arc is reduced to develop the maximum of power for a given area. Its profile has been developed to ensure maximum traction at the edge of the window. Its W5 bridle is totally innovative and brings together the function of a bridle and a 5th line!
