Tri-Flow:
If you look closely at the canopy on the leading edge, you will see multiple triangular shaped panels. These are called TriFlow and create a smooth and clean transition between the panels.
By using this technology, the canopy segments attached to the Leading edge are now able to curve both vertically and horizontally, limiting all creases from happening on the canopy closer to the leading edge.
TriFlow creates an extremely smooth surface and clean airflow over the canopy, resulting in more stability and a better overall performance of the kite. TriFlow makes the Escape even more stable so that you can focus on jumping and boosting and riding to the max.
3-Strut Hybrid SLE:
The Swell’s unique shape gives it an amazing range, fast and easy relaunch and awesome drifting ability, even in the worst onshore conditions.
The balanced Hybrid/SLE shape of the Swell is designed to be stable and offers the precise and responsive handling that both wave chargers and free riders demand.
Its lightweight 3-Strut frame offers maximum stability and slack line drift when you want to focus on surfing the wave. The shape allows for a super speedy water relaunch which is a must when riding more serious sized surf or when you’re dialling in that new trick.
3-Point Bridle:
The bridle system gives the kite a huge and progressive depower range. This makes even the worst conditions a lot easier to handle.
The low friction rings have no moving parts and are very small, so you can be confident that you won’t get any jams or snags with you lines.
Trailing Edge Reinforcements:
The trailing edge is reinforced with a double layer of teijin Technoforce T9600 cloth combined with Bisonyl reinforcements; this results in an extremely durable yet lightweight solution.
This is perfect if you’re looking for a school kite: the reinforcements will make sure that you can use the kite on land as much as you need to without worrying of sand, shells or rocks damaging the wing.
Kook-Proof:
The front and back line connections have been colour coded to allow you to easily and quickly set up the kite, and immediately notice if they haven’t Colour-coded, front and back line connections.
The bridle loops are colour coded and 'knot to loop' to help kiters get their kite in the air safely.
Multiple Tip Settings:
The Swell has multiple tip settings on the wingtips giving the rider full control over how they want the kite to fly.
It can be set up with super light bar pressure or hard direct feedback for those days when you are in the barrel and need to feel every nuance of the kite.
Fits All Valve:
PLKB kites are equipped with a ‘fit-all-valve’ for easy inflation. The bayonet fitting fits all pumps and the large valve opening makes inflation a breeze.
You won’t have to spend hours and hours looking for a pump with the right connection, and will be out on the water in no time.
Double Stitched Leading Edge:
Multiple reinforcements improve durability. The leading edge and struts are built with the most durable Dacron. The entire span of the leading edge has been reinforced along the seam with double stitches to protect it from getting damaged when crashing or getting a pounding by waves, making it hands down one of the toughest kites on the market.
All the bridle attachment points are reinforced with Dacron patches that are stitched on the inside of the leading edge so, even if all the power is channelled through one bridle point, the kite will not get damaged.
