| The Wait is Over…Wipika’s 2006 Indy Kites are Now Shipping. The first batch has been produced and preorders are now being filled. Get your order in now at www.wipikakites.com. THE UNHOOKED KITE The Indy is Wipika’s new ‘Unhooked’ Kite for 2006. Designed to progress your riding, this kite is not for beginners. It is a mid-high aspect, fast kite with a lot of power and loft. |
 |
| With Wipika’s unique ‘Switch’ feature you can modify the kite through three settings from range to lift. You would use the range setting on gusty days and the lift setting on days that you want to jump high. |

| As far as safety goes, Wipika’s patented CLS system makes the Indy one of the safest systems on the market. Whether you miss a handlepass or simply feel out of control, by employing the 5th line you totally depower the kite and give yourself time to regain control without entangling your lines and cutting the session short. “I was out on the 8.5m Indy for the first time yesterday and had a blast. Given that it was pretty gusty, I decided to set it on the middle setting. It didn’t seem to take much away from the lift function as my first jump sent me a lot higher than I expected! I noticed how fast the kite was on my first reach. The kite actually pivoted in the air so when I was underpowered I didn’t have to work too hard and when I was lit, it fired to the edge of the window so fast that I was never overpowered. I’ve been kind of addicted to kiteloops these days, and with the Indy it almost felt like cheating. The kite was around before I could blink and I was landing smoothly (my kiteloops have never been that smooth!) I’m excited to get back out today, play with the Switch settings and work on new moves!†-Gail Zaccai, Wipika Team |
