Designers goals (manufacturer text)

Having inspired kite riders to push the boundaries since 2009, the 5th generation Trigger is
even more in your face and thrilling than its predecessor. Maintaining its reputation of
ultra-quick turning speed and powerful delivery gives the edge to riders who don’t fear
going all out on the water. Don’t expect a park and ride kite. The Trigger would be insulted
to be used in such a way. The high performance characteristics let you position this kite
exactly when and where you want it.
For the 5th generation Trigger, the profile shape went through a highly calculated
reconstruction which positions the kite to sit further in the edge of the window, causing
more vertical pop, significant increase in hangtime and much better upwind performance.
The most noticeable difference in the new profile shape is in the wingtips, where the
distance between the elbows has been nearly doubled. We’ve found this design to
drastically help with stabilizing the kite, giving a rock solid feel. This has also helped drift
the kite, perfect for wave riding and repositioning of the kite after big airs.
With its forgiving nature, the Trigger is your ideal choice to promote progression and to
bring you back to the beach, dripping of adrenaline.
