PHOENIX | 5 Strut Big Air Performance

“The Phoenix is a kite that any rider can go out on the water with and boost huge! The Phoenix is designed for all skill levels from beginner to pro to have lofty jumps, increased hangtime, and soft landings. Just sheet in and fly! With an adjustable bar pressure/kite turning speed you can adjust the Phoenix to suit your riding style.“ – Ewan Jaspan

Features

Aramid Patches: Provides protection and reinforcement to the seams on the leading edge.
Radial Segmented Arc: Short linear segments accurately form the kite’s arch – the kites have multiple panels to reduce sharp edges on the kite’s arc.
High V Adapter: The High V Adapter changes the shape of the kite, making it slightly more c-shaped than flat. This small change allows the kite to have more pivotal turns for riders looking to mega loop.
Quad-Tex Ripstop Fabric: The Quad-Tex Ripstop fabric is an extremely durable material, creating a strong and stiff canopy. Quad-Tex withstands punishing conditions while maintaining high-performance characteristics over the long term.
2-Ply Trailing Edge: The 2-ply trailing edge buffers and disperses canopy flutter to reduce wear on the kite and enhance its durability.
HT Plus Seam: Their high-tensile thread strengthens the leading edge along the seam, allowing you to confidently inflate your kite to a higher pressure for better flying performance.
Molded Strut Ends: The moulded strut ends provide additional reinforcements to protect the struts from natural wear and tear.
EVA Bumpers: The bumpers protect the canopy from wear and tear during inflation, launching, and landing.
Progressive Profile: Evolving the profile along the wingspan allows the centre sections of the kite to generate power while the flatter tips minimize drag and allow for faster turning.
Fixed Bridle: The fixed bridle doesn’t have a pulley and it locks in the shape of the kite, giving direct feedback from the bar to the kite.
SureLock Valve: Streamlined valve and pump hose lock to the valve.
One Point Inflation System: Naish’s one-point inflation system provides quick and easy inflation and deflation of the kite.
Phoenix Bag
Diagonal Load Seam: Distributes kite tension for a more powerful and well-balanced kite.
