The Competition Kite Made to Improve your Riding
Safety. Personal Progression. Ferrari-like handling. Switch. CLS Enhanced.
Safety
The patented Central Line System (CLS) 5th line offers ultimate safety with on-demand complete depower. With over 3 years of development, the unique 2 attachment points on the leading edge give the kite increased stability and better performance.
Personal Progression
The Indy is a high performance, moderate to high aspect, competition level kite. The Indy will allow you to comfortably learn new tricks. The Indy’s new unique canopy construction creates a forgiving and soft feel at the bar, which makes attempting new tricks easier. Fitted with the all-new CLS Fulcrum points, you can crash your kite a lot more with greater confidence.
Ferrari-Like Handling
For big powered tricks, the new profile causes the kite to accelerate out of the window faster. With wake-style tricks, the Indy and CLS create greater charging power in the water and light pull when released. For softer bar passes, the CLS 5th line system directs the Indy further upwind. Higher aspect means more of the canopy stalling during turns, for less aggressive kiteloop power. The new wingtip profiles accelerate the wingtips around turns, unlike other kite models, which hold back in turns and drag downwind. The Indy’s huge depower handles monster gusts with fluidity. The curved wingtips create a soft power output giving you an effortless feeling during strong gusts.
CLS Enhanced
The CLS softens the kite’s pull during powered maneuvers and enables the kite to relaunch quickly. The all-new fulcrum attachment points are the strongest in the industry and are designed to take beatings. Go ahead, try new powered moves, crash your kite: the Indy is ready. The Indy has been tested over a longer period of time than almost any kite available.
Switch
Personalize the flying style of your kite with the all-new Switch feature. Using the new curved wingtip and 3 front line attachment points you can change among three flying style options.
1 Massive Range Unimaginable depower. Kite harder, feel safer.
2 Tight Handling Warm butter transitions. Top-end power.
3 Huge Lift Ferrari-like handling. Fast and Agile.
It’s like having three kites without pumping them all up. Traditional rear line adjustments only changed the turning speed of the kite. Switch allows you to have three different kites in one.
Advanced Construction Technology:
• Curved Wingtips For a smoother ride, lighter packing and relaunch aid.
• Easy Pump System (EPS) with Deflate Valve Keys sewn to the webbing for fast deflation. Strut valves are fitted with balls.
• Fulcrum Reinforced CLS and front line attachments are specifically designed to take stresses from all angles so the flying lines can pull safely in different directions.
• Scuff Guard New abrasion resistant materials in high wear areas
• Rigid Frame Integrated struts and profiles create positive tension in the sail so the Indy’s frame is built like a skyscraper with a thin leading edge and flat arc.

New Board, Introducing…
The Mauricio Pro 138
Design Brief …
It’s a Mauricio Pro, same rocker and rail…but it’s bigger!
Description:
The MP 138 provides the ultimate wake style board in a larger, higher volume package for taller riders or riders wanting more size on light wind days. Featuring a soft rail and more volume at the tips and tail, the MP 138 has amazing pop and fluidity for wake and unhooked maneuvers.
Smooth Wake Style
Designed, developed, and slider tested by Mauricio Abreu, the Mauricio Pro is the smooth-style board built for waves, and wake style riding. Using a classic rocker line, the Mauricio 138 has a soft and forgiving rail, which creates strong edging and solid pop. Constructed to take the abuse of coming in fast, hitting sliders and stomping landings, the MP will improve your riding style.
Features:
Dura Force Construction- Bombproof Wood/glass reinforcement provides extra durability.
Flex Core Technology-Balanced High tech core construction that ensures a sound balance between stiffness and flexibility.
Grab-Styled Recessed areas at the tip and middle of the board form grab rails.
Duraclear Bottom: Like Diamonds/Smooth & Tough High-density material on the bottom of the board for improved scratch resistance.
Gelcoat Finish Glossy finish for envious glances.
ABS Sidewalls For added rail integrity and durability.
