Designers goals

Dedicated Light Wind Performance! The 4 strut Flite will get you riding in the lightest of conditions. Individually designed for peak performance for their sizes the Flite comes in a nimble 15m and steady 17.5m size. FST Wingtip Technology increase bar feedback, steering control and wind range for both sizes. All 2012 kites fly perfectly with any of our 3 bars, Freeride, Fusion or Freestyle and all kites feature our unique Direct De-power System, designed to fully roll over and disable your kite in the event of an eject or total depower.

Features

Wingtip technology

You need a big wide wing tip for faster turning.
Its all about leverage between your front and back lines. By extending the wingtip forward we’ve created the extra leverage necessary to snap the kite through a turn.
De-power
By moving the front line attachment forward we offer you more range and depower.
Relaunch
FST wingtip breaks the surface tension during water relaunch providing a smooth predictable lift off.

Direct depower:

Designed to fully roll over and disable your kite in the event of an eject or total depower. The Direct De-power System allows for near total depower of your kite and easy, on water reset and relaunch in the event of an eject. Ideal for riders of all levels, beginner to pro.

Venturi Technology:

Translates to bigger, more floaty boosts and a more forgiving, efficient kite that generates even more power. Back flying in light, gusty wind is a thing of the past, and experts can unhook without having to depower the kite first!
