| Kite Features & Function | - Leading Edge Valves:
- maintain internal kite pressure during flight
- five star hotel in Hague2 centre valves are velcro attached and can be pulled out to aid kite deflation when packing
- Pre-Inflation Openings:
- opened to pre-inflate kite prior to launching and aid in kite deflation for packing
- access for bladder installation and removal through these openings
- provide access to bladder for: inflation, deflation, installation and removal
- Wingtip Openings:
- aid in kite deflation during packing
- Drain Channel and Weep Holes:
- maintain kite interior water free during flight by allowing any water inside the kite to flow to wingtips where it drains through the weep holes
- ensuring optimal function and performance at all times
- Bridal Cross Links:
- hold bridals together as a unit, preventing tangles and wraps
- Power Steering:
- increase turning speed of kite by harnessing foil dynamics of 2 line steering to automatically add flaps (curling the trailing edge) on the wing tip you are turning to.
- apartments accommodation Port DouglasEnables kites to be tuned for individual preference and riding style
- Sheeting Bridal:
- provides variable power control by reducing power in kite, hence increasing the wind range and making gusts more comfortable and safer to handle
- attached with larks heads to kite thus can be quickly and easily removed / installed to convert form four line to three line set up
- Brake / Safety System:
- 3rd line functions in landing kite, reverse launching kite and de-powering kite in emergency situations

- reverse launching
- completely pulling on the brake loop or letting go of the bar (with leash on) causes the kite to fly backwards, turn over and land onto trailing edge ready to launch again
- Removable Internal Bladder:
- unique shape is designed to optimally hold kite shape (when on water) without affecting performance or handling
- easily installed or removed though pre-inflation openings

The trim and profile of this kite provides smooth, steady and constant power in various wind conditions. The sheeting feature allows greater power control, a wider wind range and the ability to handle gusty winds more comfortably and safely. As well, its original "power steering" system makes the bigger sizes turn fast and easy, The WETs very efficient and reliable brake /safety system allows you to let go of the bar (leash on) knowing that you can re-launch the kite quickly and easily. When the kite crashes leading edge down, the system doubles up as a reverse launching feature. This allows the kite to flip over to leading edge up making your recovery from a crash fast and dependable. The removable internal bladder also optimizes re-launching by maintaining the kite shape when the kite is on the water. In other words, less time trying to re-launch and more time flying.
