LIGHT YEARS AHEAD
Ultra Team DS Kite
Version 5
Lightweight single strut design for foil, freeride & wave.
Double Surface (DS) leading edge for increased efficiency.
H2 Ultra PE leading edge & Load Frame technology.
The Ultra Team is our unique lightweight performance design for foil, freeride, and surf. The combination of our proven Single Strut Geometry with the new double surface leading edge, narrow diameter high pressure leading edge, and high-tension canopy create the ultimate efficient flying machine. This new design delivers a powerful kite that can fly forward in the window, achieving the perfect balance for exceptional light wind performance and ultralight flight.
The Ultra Team is a more responsive, faster, and lighter version of the Ultra reinforced with H2 Ultra PE material.
DOUBLE SURFACE (DS) LEADING EDGE
The all-new Double Surface (DS) leading edge design delivers unparalleled performance, combining better glide, faster speeds, dynamic movement, improved upwind capability, and an extended wind range. The DS leading edge eliminates turbulence, ensuring smooth airflow for greater acceleration and reduced drag. The reduced leading edge and strut diameter allows the kite to move faster across the wind window creating powerful apparent wind for enhanced performance.
LEADING EDGE
H2 ULTRA PE
Introducing the next generation of woven Ultra PE. When we introduced Ho’okipa to the market as the first woven Ultra PE, we were confident that using a woven outer layer instead of a film or coating would deliver the best abrasion resistance and durability. H2 takes the same woven-out layer concept and increases the percentage of Ultra PE yarn by 30%, radically increasing strength. This also enabled us to reduce the weight by 30% while maintaining the same bombproof performance.
CANOPY
TECHNOFORCE D2
This premium fabric is designed with a high-density structure that uses high tenacity double-coated polyester yarn in a double ripstop configuration. The double coating protects the yarn as much as possible from UV and abrasion damage, ensuring that the canopy remains crisp and responsive for as long as possible.
REINFORCING
LOAD FRAME TECHNOLOGY
The Airush Load Frame has been the key to setting the ultimate benchmark in durability without compromising on weight. Ultra-high modulus yarns carry the primary load of the canopy, preventing stretch, and increasing long-term performance. The Load Frame is further enhanced by WebTech which is featured in the areas traditionally occupied by Dacron. This enables us to minimize or completely remove the heavier fabric and utilize the ballistic high-modulus web fibers instead – increasing strength and minimizing weight.
