KiteKit: North Norfolk FLEXIFOIL Specialists - Water Kites, Atom, Ion, Fusion, Axis ...

For 2008 Flexifoil have yet again created an exciting and well balanced range of water kites: Their latest creation is the new Ion3 dubbed "the hybrid kite with bite!" Meanwhile, on the back of the success of the original Atom comes the Atom 08, an awesome kite with appeal to beginners and experienced kitesurfers alike.

This year we are complimenting the fantastic range of Flexifoil kites with amazing new kites from F.One: The Bandit and Revolt. These kites are already proving to be a massive hit, appealing to C-kite riders and 4-line riders alike.

F.One Revolt

*** NEW ***
The Revolt is a slightly more user friendly, no frills version of the F.One Bandit. It has a deeper, more stable profile and this combines with the same 4 line simplicity as the Bandit for great performance, safety and control.

The F-One Revolt will get you going from your first few metres with it's constant power delivery and yet keep you in total safety with it's instant power cancellation by simply letting go of the bar! The F-One Revolt is easily neutralised as it lands on it's back and waits, powerless.

The F-One Revolt's wind range is huge and it's a very stable kite providing maximum comfort even in irregular gusty conditions. Thanks to the bridle and the Delta C-Shape concept, the kite is manoeuvrable even even depowered.

F-One Revolt Wave Riding:

The F-One Revolt is also an excellent wave-riding kite for riders of all levels. For wave riding, the F-One Revolt unleashes its increased performance from it's stable Delta shape.

The F-One Revolt gives you the ability to wave-ride with the added benefits of power to get you in and out of the line-up. Throw yourself into a wave with the F-One Revolt and switch the power off to actually surf without having the kite over-powering your turns. This gives the experienced rider the ability to concentrate 100% on the wave-riding.

For intermediate riders interested in learning to ride unhooked the F-One Revolt is also the kite to own, making riding un-hooked easy and stress-free to let you master your moves. The F-One Revolt is the unhooked kite that will allow the rider to learn those moves with ease and instant safety.

Delta C-Shape Techology:
Delta C-Shape technology is a new F-One patented design offering unmatched stability and steering response when fully de-powered, with a proven C-shape design that maintains the highest standards in performance.

The Delta C-Shape features front line attachment points positioned higher up the leading edge, offering un-matched stability and steering response when fully de-powered, with a proven C-shape design that maintains the highest standards in performance.

EVO De-power & Life Line Combo:
The EVO De-power concept is a simple 4 line system with a 4m long Life Line featuring a V shaped bridle with a pulley system on each of the front lines. This simple system offers complete safety and allows for increased de-power by finely tuning the angle of attack of the kite.

When the quick release is activated the EVO system becomes the Life Line and the kite lands safely on its back with immediate and total power kill.

EVO De-power offers complete control with direct and responsive steering in all riding conditions. Sheeting the bar in and out is very progressive even with the kite fully de-powered. Unhooked the kite remains light and very predictable, inspiring confidence so you can progress faster.

Auto Re-launch:
Once the kite is sitting with the leading edge flat on the water, the well balanced Delta C-Shape allows the kite to automatically turn over onto one wing tip. The kite will then "glide" towards the edge of the window, ready for quick and easy water re-launch. No complicated manoeuvre.

The F-One Revolt provides you with all the advantages of an easy and secure efficient kite.

Force Frame:
Kites with extended de-power ranges sustain more pressure across the canopy as they experience an increased frequency of use over a wider wind range.

Consequently F-One has developed a completely new structure for the F-One Revolt, offering optimized durability with no additional weight gain.

The Force Frame is a solid Dacron structure consisting of the leading edge, the trailing edge and the struts. This high strength skeleton structure is then covered with lightweight Spy material in the least vulnerable areas.

Fusion Struts:
The struts are integrated into the leading edge of the kite. This increases the rigidity of the Force Frame and reduces drag by creating a clean and well balanced structure.

Flexifoil Ion3

The Ion3 is the next logical step in the progression of the Ion range, delivering the highest performance hybrid kite on the market. The Ion3 retains the versatility the Ion series is recognized for, but ups the stakes with a kite that will help you push your riding to places you hadn’t even considered.

The Ion3 will maximise any wind conditions, whatever the discipline, leaving you feeling in control and free to unleash your true potential. Its massive wind range delivers more de-power, an aggressively responsive performance and faster turns to take you exactly where you want to go. The Ion3 is a kite which will give you the added confidence to ride higher and harder, simply through its level of controllable performance.

Light steering with a solid driving turn and lightning quick through the window, the Ion3 takes the hybrid design and gives it more bite. Whether you like smacking waves on a strapless board or boosting through the ceiling on the latest twin-tip, the Ion3’s performance will free your riding and allow you to maximise your session.
Tested and approved in a huge range of global conditions from the light winds of the US east coast to the sand-blasting winds of the Brazilian hotspots, the Ion3 is the world-traveling kitesurfer’s dream.

The Ion3 is available from March 2008 in six versatile sizes: 7m, 8.5m, 10.5m, 12.5m, 14.5m and 16.5m so you can fly whatever the wind conditions.

4 and 5-line options on the bar give you two differing configurations to suit your riding style and you can choose from three different Flexifoil colourways.

Once the kite is sitting with the leading edge flat on the water, the well balanced Delta C-Shape allows the kite to automatically turn over onto one wing tip. The kite will then "glide" towards the edge of the window, ready for quick and easy water relaunch.

High End Wind Range
When using a Bandit during testing, F-One used smaller kites then anything else even bow's and SLE's! So be aware that you need to take one size smaller than a F-One Tribal.

Control Bar
All bars will fit all sizes kites - only the smaller sized 7.5m ones are 45 cm and the 13m-15m's are 55 cm. All flying lines are 24 m.

Flexifoil Atom 08

Improving on the design of the massively popular original Atom was always going to be tough but this is exactly what Flexifoil have done. The Flexifoil Atom 08 is more responsive, more stable and has a bigger wind range than the original Atom. In addition to this there are plenty of minor tweaks and adjustments to make the kite even more durable and easy to set up and use.
