Switch kiteboarding heeft de nieuwe lichtweer kite in zijn range; de Helium gelanceerd voor 2016. Naast de 18 meter is er vanaf nu ook een 15.5 metertje beschikbaar:

The Helium is a light wind specific kite that is all about having fun when the conditions are marginal. Blasting upwind with controllable power, extended range and low bar pressure make light air kiting effortless and exciting.

• Exceptional stability
• Low-end power with sheet and go delivery
• Full depower and extended wind range
• Low bar pressure and quick turning
• Optimised for lightwind relaunching
• Lightweight construction

The new Helium 2 is a refinement of the original Helium. Most notably, we've added a new 15.5sqm size offering a greater range of options for light-air riders. We've slightly modified the leading edge tube to re-align the wingtip and provide a more robust structure for quicker response and improved stability. We've also added a rear steering line which engages the trailing edge at the wingtip strut upon maximum bar movement. The steering line improves turning and powers the kite up substantially without compromising the Helium's excellent stability and light bar pressure. In particular, reverse and standard re-launch are enhanced. The new Helium2 provides dependable light-air riding with surprising agility.
