TX-LIGHT SINGLE SKIN CONCEPT
The single skin concept has high lift profiles and a very efficient depower. Reducing its weight to a minimum brings advantages in stability, drift and light wind handling. Single skins allow the use of our B-Safe system and absorb hard impacts.
The excellent longevity of these kites is not only due to the concept but by their material. High ageing and tear resistance, three ripstop threads and enormous rigidity at only 33g / m² make the TX-Light the perfect fabric. The leading edge consists of 44g / m² DLX + fabric which better protects against abrasion and sharp-edged objects. Every material optimizes a specific area of the kite. Every fabric is optimized for its use, from UV-resistant surfaces and air-impermeable coatings to absorbent properties to improve airflow when wet.
B-SAFE SYSTEM
The B-Safe System is a (extra optional Y-) line configuration that slides along the B-level through eyelets. After activating the quick release, the bar moves 3 m up on the 5th line. The kite is reefed horizontally in the middle and reduces the wing span to a minimum. The kite comes down gently and flags out. After reactivating the quick release system, you can launch the kite through the power zone. The B-Safe System is ideal for self-landing or for taking breaks.
HYBRID WINGTIP TECHNOLOGY
The Hybrid Wingtip Technology consists of two self-inflating cells on each side of the kite. The openings are protected with mesh material to prevent the entry of snow or dirt. Both wingtips have our proven drainage system. The more efficient aerodynamics allow for tighter turning with constant pull, as well as increased backstall resistance. Through that, the wingtip is only flapping when you depower the kite. The bar feedback is considerably improved. The kite feels sporty and gives you a confidence-inspiring feeling.
CAMBER TRIM SYSTEM
Bridle levels of the kite are controlled by the mixer, a pulley system which modulates the angle of attack and the profile camber. The mixer features the two-ring camber trim system. Moving the rings changes the relationship between the B or C level relative to the A level. The profile of the foil kite can be trimmed to be either flat or curved.
The stated wind range is really large and it also distinguishes between the kite's ability to fly (light blue) and the optimal range for the ride (dark blue). The wind range chart is to be used as a point of reference. It is based on a rider who weighs around 75kg (165lbs.) Actual use will vary depending on your weight, skill level, board size/type (twintip or hydrofoil) and wind conditions on water or land. When choosing a kite size, always use common sense and repeatedly choose a smaller size if you are not sure, especially when using the kite on land.

SIMPLE QUICK RELEASE
The compact and reliable SIMPLE Quick Release fulfills the French standard (AFNOR) in terms of safety and release forces in the event of contamination. The compact designed chicken loop with stick secure the connection between the harness hook and the control bar and prevent unintentional unhooking. The handy release cap enables precise and low-resistance activation of the safety system in an emergency. The front lines can be turned out manually using the swivel located above the quick release.
B-SAFE SYSTEM READY
The CONNECT Control Bar has been specially configured for products with the B-Safe system. The 4-line FLS system can be converted to a 5-line system in just a few simple steps. After the release, the control bar slides up to 3 m along the 5th line, gathers the kite together and lets it fall down without generating any power. The B-Safe system requires a high split of the front lines (high Y) and a thin line with little air resistance. The PEAK and VIRON product lines have the B-Safe system.
ADJUST TO THE GIVEN CONDITIONS
Use the adjustment options of the flying lines to adapt the CONNECT Control Bar to the weather conditions or your driving style. Choose between 14 m and 21 m flying line length to increase reactivity or to reduce the wind window. The steering lines can be extended with the help of a knot ladder under the floaters. In order to be easy to use for every body size, the depower travel is exactly 45 cm. The Clam Cleat Adjuster can be used to gain a further 20 cm of depower travel.
LIGHT BAR STICK
The 0.34 kg light Barholm is color-coded with orange (left) and petrol (right). The back can be clearly distinguished from the front with a continuous gray design element. The ergonomically shaped, [M] 50cm long bar is protected by an EVA grip and lies comfortably in the hand. The non-slip surface guarantees optimal grip in wet and cold conditions.
The new floats are made of a softer and lighter material. This increases the safety and ability of the bar to float on the water.
Pigtails at the end of the cords protect the line from damage during frequent tying and untying in aggressive environments such as salt water and sand. Pigtails can be easily replaced with new ones.
On the control lines, just above the bar, there is an attachment for brake line, which some kites are used to. All you have to do is connect it and adapt the bar to your preferences.
From now, Flysurfer supplies additional and replacement lines wound on a cardboard organizer to reduce the amount of disposable plastics, thus saving the environment and non-renewable natural resources.
Look forward to test this new snowkiting dream kite!
