Fresh for the 2013/2014 season, Flexifoil and Aaron Hadlow present the new HADLOW PRO. Building on the exceptional performance of the 2011 Mark III edition, the new HADLOW PRO IV is the next evolution in freestyle kiteboarding.

Created, following intense years of development, the HADLOW PRO is built on the foundation of high performance and impressive power to create a kite that continues to push the boundaries of freestyle and wakestyle kiteboarding. Designed with Aaron’s unprecedented attention to detail and exacting attitude, the new HADLOW PRO aims to offer the complete package for today’s progressive rider whether they are aiming for a podium on the world tour or simply looking to improve and take their unhooked tricks to the next level.

Aaron has maintained his focus throughout the HADLOW’s development to produce the purest performance machine on the market! With new front line attachment points, a rigidified canopy structure and tweaks to its aero design the new mark IV is now quicker to turn, faster through the sky and has a noticeably more solid and direct feel.

These improvements have resulted in a kite that sits on the side of the window with the perfect pull allowing you to focus fully on the trick you are trying to land. Those throwing kiteloops will also notice how the kite has more control and speed through its loop.

So if you either want to hit rails, nail the most technical moves or take to the sky in extreme conditions, the new HADLOW PRO has been put into production for you!

Line Setup

The new HADLOW PRO will be flown on a 4 line system with 2 additional support lines near the kite. This line setup will offer you reduced bar clutter and a nice, clean control system. The addition support lines stabilizes and solidifies the kite even in the gustiest of conditions, it makes for a more  direct and stable power promoting more powered moves. Combined with brand new front toggle points on the leading edge tube the kite also has a smoother, more direct turn with less kite distortion, this makes for example kitelooping smoother. The improved design allows one set of lines to fit all sizes of the new Hadlow Pro.

Canopy Improvements

Our R&D team introduced a new feature in the canopy of the new HADLOW PRO.  This is what we call the ‘Scalloped Dacron Cage’.  This has been created to distribute the load more evenly into the canopy.  By including this, you automatically create a more accurate profile in the Rib Root area. The trailing edge has also been improved, we added a triple ply construction for better durability.

Leading Edge Construction

C-kites are often pushed to their limits when used in freestyle kiteboarding, that’s why Aaron decided to reinforce the leading edge. So, we double stitched the leading edge closure.  On top of its famous construction, this offers an even more bomb proof construction.  With a truer foil definition in the rib to sail area on the canopy.  Kevlar protection patches on the leading edge provide further enhancements to strength and robustness of the new Hadlow Pro.

Graphics

We all know the new HADLOW PRO is the real high performance C-kite, no doubt about it.  Aaron wanted a design that stood out from other kites.  Together with our design team, he succeeded.  You have to admit, the new HADLOW PRO is probably the best looking C-kite on the market today.  As on all our kites, we pay a lot of attention to even the smallest detail on the graphics which results in this outstanding kite.  Those completely new graphics fit perfectly into the new Hadlow range.
