BLADE The BLADE series of traction kites is the latest development in ram-air inflated traction kites.  It's a competition kite, designed and manufactured to achieve maximum efficiency, power output, lift and manoeuvrability.  It's a kite for expert flyers into advanced and extreme traction activities.  It can be used as a two line or a four line kite which makes it first choice for all traction activities including Kite Surfing, Buggying, Snowboarding and more. Its advanced elliptical wing section with cell-to-cell venting ensures that the kite stays inflated, preventing frontal collapse and enhancing recovery capability.  They are made from Chikara ripstop nylon, a high quality material which combines lightness and strength for high performance flying. The compact bridle assembly minimises drag and the wide mesh gauze on the leading edge makes it easy to empty sand and water from the kite. Recommended for intermediate to advanced flyers only and for those with no fear!

Notes on Flying Lines Flexifoil flying lines are pre-stretched but it is still advisable to stretch them yourself before flight. If in doubt, always err on the side of safety and choose the stronger line combination. Flexifoil have two flying line ranges - one for land use and one for water and snow use. The water/snow line is coloured for visibility, floats on water for safety and is made from high quality Dyneema. Available in 30m and 40m lengths. The flying line for land use is also made from high quality Dyneema and is available in 25m and 40m lengths.

Flying Blades on Two Lines All Blades can be flown on two lines with a control bar. To determine the strength of the lines, use the "Main Lines" recommendations on the line table. If you have a three/four line control bar , you will need bothe the Main and the Brake lines. For the Blade 4.9 and 7.2, we recommend the Flexifoil "Turn accelerator cross-over kit" which greatly increases the turn rate and therefore the performance of the kite. For maximum performance, we recommend that you use only genuine Flexifoil parts and accessories.
