Fluid kiteboarding is introducing a new way of building kites. Instead of looking into making the ripstop stronger we have changed our entire way of building Fluid kiteboarding kites.
Searching for a new technology where the loads are distributed better on the kite and especially the canopy.
We have seen a lot of new ways for building kites such as zero struts, new ripstop and non-Dacron kites. But why would you take out the entire framework off a kite without replacing it with something else? The only thing we could think of is weight.
But what about the more important stuff like relaunch, gust controle, stability.
Fluid kiteboarding kites have been on a massive diet in 2013, with the ATV v5 and EGO v4 drastically reduced in weight there is no need or benefits to make them even lighter.
