Fast responsive steering with FlexPulse structure
The low sweep arc shape gives the kite a more powered turn through the entire wing. Its upright design ensures the twist from the steering lines runs deeper into the centre of the canopy.
Bridled hybrid design
The ultimate unhooked performer with balanced line slack for handle passes and unhooking – the hybrid design blends the best of both worlds.
Dynamic edge response
A combination of higher aspect ratio
Durable
smaller diameter leading edge and aerodynamic
higher tensile leading edge seams
leaner profile entry enables the Pulse to fly forward quickly after an explosive pop or when checking a rail edge.
Lightweight bladders now in all sizes
There is a large amount of force on the closing seam of the leading edge due to inflation and steering movement.
DuraLite seam protection
Bladders make up a bigger weight percentage than any other material used in a kite.
Ergonomic HyperFlow rapid inflation
Lightweight reinforcement to protect from chafing and abrasion along the struts to the leading edge.
Lightweight 2-ply canopy reinforcement material
New ergonomic high volume single point inflation system with large diameter hose for rapid inflation and deflation.
Aerodynamic profile transition panels
We’ve reduced the amount of heavy duty canopy reinforcement in the Pulse. The Trailing Edge is a 2-ply canopy material.
High Performance N-HTRS canopy
The extra panels that connect to the leading-edge seam are now a single ply of canopy material for a less complicatedDurable highest-quality Dacron inflated structures
smoother profile entry.
No-pulley
All our kites are manufactured using North High Tenacity Ripstop (N-HTRS) polyester yarn canopy material for lightness
low drag bridle lines
high tear strengthFast in flight
zero porosity and longevity.Kevlar reinforced strut system with bridle deflectors
All of the inflated structures and the wingtips in the Pulse are constructed from the highest quality industry-proven Dacron for the best strength to weight ratio in a heavy-duty application.Personalised performance tuning options
Our highest-qualityFast responsive steering with FlexPulse structure
As a result
Bridled hybrid design
the power produced through the turn is constant through the entire loop
Dynamic edge response
rather than just pivoting off the tip and then having a dead spot in the loop. The added energy and efficiency produced through the entire loop means the kite can come around quickly to catch you
Durable
and lofts nicely for a good landing.
higher tensile leading edge seams
In today’s world a pure C-kite is not as efficient as what most people are used to riding
Lightweight bladders now in all sizes
so combining the attributes of a C-kite and a less upright
DuraLite seam protection
wider arc kite together gives you a kite that’s not only efficient
Ergonomic HyperFlow rapid inflation
but still has many of the attributes and behaviours of a C-kite.
Lightweight 2-ply canopy reinforcement material
It also makes the Pulse very efficient and manageable
Aerodynamic profile transition panels
especially in extreme overpowered conditions.
High Performance N-HTRS canopy
We’ve replaced the thread in the closing seam with a new lightweight thread that features a higher breaking strength and better shock-absorbing qualities. Similar to the lines on a parachute
Durable highest-quality Dacron inflated structures
which undergo a high amount of movement and elongation
No-pulley
the new thread has improved fatigue
low drag bridle lines
impact and wear resistance.
Fast in flight
The lighter the kite
Kevlar reinforced strut system with bridle deflectors
the more efficiently it flies
Personalised performance tuning options
the greater the performance in lighter winds







DIRECT AND RESPONSIVE
The explosive pop, powerful fast turns and responsive steering of our hybrid freestyle kite will set your heart pumping.
