FULL ALUULA AIR FRAME
It’s no secret that removing struts from kites means a compromise in performance – the reduction in weight improves light wind capabilities but the downside is reduced stability and poor top-end performance. With a full ALUULA airframe, there is no longer a need to compromise…
Featuring ALUULA 82 gsm composite airframe, not only is the Rise incredibly light, but its stiff airframe performs like no other in both light and high wind states. It can also be tuned with a higher PSI than traditional Dacron kites for enhanced high wind handling.
Precision curved to match the airfoil profile, the ALUULA airframe is highly tuned to take full advantage of the unique properties of this cutting-edge composite material which is sewn using super-tough Quad Lock stitching, designed specifically for ALUULA.
Simply put: the ALUULA five-strut airframe delivers the best handling in ALL conditions.
SHAPE
The A-Series Rise features a high aspect ratio to deliver more lift per square meter and a faster climb, while generating less drag for a kite that lifts you windward.
An open C shape allows for fast precise steering, precision sheeting and quick water relaunch. Creating a light wind performance kite is no easy task... The A-Series Rise contains a wide arc and large projected area to produce as much power per square meter as possible.
“The most striking feature is how consistent the catch and climb is, which gives you confidence to go deeper and flatter into your loops. For us it is here that the Rise sets itself apart from the pack.”
