STORM kites are made from Chikara Rip-Stop Nylon fabric.
Ultra rugged EVA reinforcements help to protect the leading edge bladder tube from
damage.
Reinforced Dacron strip joins kite body to leading edge bladder tube for clean
aerofoil and quick repairs.
2 rear attachment points for turn rate adjustment in different conditions.
Aerodynamic design for maximum lift and big stable airs, even in gusty wind. Lift is
maximised in the center of the sail and the tips used for control.
Batten reinforced wingtips maintain tip profile to ensure sharp response and
durability.
Wingtip deflation valves make for easy single-handed de-rigging.
STORM kites are not recommended for any land
based traction kiting and are not suitable for inexperienced power kite flyers.
As with all sports equipment exposed to natural
elements such as wind, sea water, dust, sand and sunlight, life expectancy
varies.
STORM kites are powerful and suitable for more experienced power
kite flyers, with an understanding of the dynamics of this type of
kite. No matter what type of kite you use for Kite Boarding, there are a
number of things to remember when selecting the best size to start
with. The kite to use will depend on the Surface, (smooth or rough
water), the Wind Speed, flyer Skill and Experience and flyer Weight.
Whether the flyer is a novice, or has a lot of Kite Boarding experience,
the best choice is the smallest kite that will produce enough
power to move. It is essential not to be overpowered, not just because
it's obviously safer, but upwind travel will be easier and less power is
easier to manage. Once you are confident that you can control the kite,
then progress to Kite Board. We strongly suggest that you take
lessons from a qualified Kiteboarding instructor.
All 6 sizes of the Storm are
available in either Black/White, Red/White or Blue/White color
combinations.
These kites produce considerable
pull and are not suitable for inexperienced flyers. Always learn to
control the kites before attempting kite traction activities.
Sensible safety precautions should be followed when flying these kites
and protective clothing, especially a helmet and P.F.D., should always be
worn when using them on water.
Read instructions and safety warnings in with every kite.
