DESCRIPTION FROM AIRUSH
Airush Ultra Team Series is stepping up the light wind game. The new Ho’okipa material on the leading edge allows the kite to be pumped up to higher pressure while saving weight. This allows the kite to be lighter and stiffer than before. The standard ultra is already a great light wind machine. The team series will get you out on the water on those days you thought were marginal
- Team engineered lightweight design for foil, freeride & surf.
- Reduced diameter leading edge for maximum efficiency.
- Ho’okipa Ultra PE high pressure leading edge, strut & load frame.
Defining the future of minimalistic, lightweight performance design for foil, freeride, and surf, the Ultra Team is a more responsive, faster, and lighter version of the Ultra reinforced with Ho’okipa Ultra PE material. Featuring a thinner, higher pressure leading edge to reduce drag and allow for a higher angle of attack when riding upwind, as well as a fixed bridle for direct steering. The unique blend of efficiency, stability and responsiveness creates an extremely versatile product.
ULTRA TEAM BRIDLE OPTIONS
All Ultra Team kites are shipped with a Fixed Bridle.
The 12m, 14m and 17m Kites are shipped with a Fixed Bridle and 3V pulley bridle.
The fixed bridle is the preferred choice for this product for the following reasons:
- Lighter weight
- More direct feel
- More responsive when piloted proficiently with great on/off power control.
Reasons for including a 3-V pulley bridle in the larger sizes 12m, 14m and 17m:
- More traditional Ultra V4 feel with the added performance benefit of lightweight kites
increased user-friendliness at the top end of the kite’s wind range due to consistent back line tension even when de-powered. For overpowered riding on the big sizes, the pulley bridle adds slightly more depower and control when depowered.
The V3 Pulley bridle option is recommended for:
- Beginner to Intermediate riders who are looking for a lighter-weight Ultra kite.
- For advanced riders going out in gusty or changeable conditions where the wind picks up to out of the kite’s recommended wind range quickly.
