EH Wave Kite

EH Kiteboarding, a well-known name in Cabarete is now available in North America. Built on a reputation of durability and a no-gimmick approach to design, EH kites deliver power and handling for a wide range of riders and riding styles. Developed with tons of rider feedback from their R&D center in Cabarete the kites feature improved performance and can take the abuse of the active kiter. The High Aspect Wave kite is the EH solution for max power with minimal hang-ups. On one hand it gives extreme lift and hangtime; on the other hand, speed and power are easy to control. A medium-aspect model is designed for the hardcore wave rider. This kite has the sheet ability to position and depower so effective that you can adapt your speed perfectly to the wave. Both models of the EH Wave are 5th line ready for excellent depower and safety.

If youâ€™re looking for waves or freestyle riding, the EH Wave can help you accomplish your goal. This is one of the few kites to see constant technical improvements due to its innovative small batch construction. Up-to-date shaping and construction enhancements can be quickly put into production to keep its power perfectly in tune with where and when you need it while riding a wave face or sessioning the flats. Great depower and safety with the EH 5th line system too. Add some Irie style to your riding and go for the limited edition Rastafari version.

- New smaller strut connection points to the leading edge decreases drag as the kite flies

Relaunch:
No more swimming with the 5th line bar. Just pull the 5th line and the kite will slip onto its back. Trim in the bar end lines, the kite will begin to relaunch. The rider can adjust where in the wind window the kite will relauch by how much pressure they put on the bar end lines. The EH Wave kite practically relaunches itself with the 5th line bar system, just pull on the 5th line and let the kite do the rest of the work. The kites still realunch with ease even with the four line bar system.

Bar:

EH 55cm. 5th line bar:
Carbon bars with high strength spectra leader lines, and 5th line. A simple yet effective safety release system that can be used in any riding conditions. The 5th line may either be attached to the chicken loop or to a leash. Depower strap releases only a little bit at a time, so rider doesnâ€™t become overpowered. This is the perfect bar for beginners, and is capable of doing unhooked and spinning tricks for advanced riders. There are two release points, one to activate the 5th line system, from the chicken loop. There is also a 5th line release on the underside of the chicken loop, to completely detach the rider from the kite in emergencies.

EH 45cm. and 55cm. four line bar:
Carbon bar with high strength specta leader lines. This bar has two safety release points. One at the chicken loop, and one on the depower line. This bar can be modified with the EH 5th line relauch kit to aid in water relauch.

Inflation:
All inflation points are individual bladders to allow for proper pressure. Each strut and the leading edge have stopper balls in the nozzles, so the rider doesnâ€™t have to pinch the nozzles close while pumping up the kite. The leading edge also has a deflate valve to make for quicker deflation and pack up at the end of the day.

Wingtip:
The wing tips have a new cut that allows for faster turning and response to bar movements. The wingtips are built from high strength Dacron for durability and abrasion resistance.

Available in the 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17 sizes in medium aspect cut.
