Purchase this kite + board complete package for a total of $1659.00 Now on its 6th year of Research and Development, the SBow kite's reputation speaks for itself. Designed to fulfill the expectations and ambitions of our most passionate clients, we have optimized the SBow using feedback from our pros and numerous kite schools. With the endless possibilities for all disciplines and conditions, the SBow kite remains a favorite for wave riders as well as beginners. This year we gave the SBow a more athletic response by enhancing the kite's predictability when driven hard. The highly efficient profile offers tremendous power without penalizing the ability to fully depower at any given time; this brings unrestricted agility at higher speeds. We also gave the SBOW a one-pump system and reinforced the Leading and Trailing edges to maximize durability.
Stability, Reaction Rate and De-powerWith its highly stable profile, the SBow 2011 kite by Starkites is perfect to help kiteboarders progress without needing to concentrate too hard on their kite flying. Our new NeX bar is the perfect partner, helping you intuitively feel where the kite is positioned and if it needs power adjusting or quicker flying. The smooth profile of the SBow 2011 kite enhances the bar feedback- wherever the bar is positioned on the centre line. This constant feel leads to better bearing, which means faster progression! It also allows you to spend more time concentrating on your board riding skills and building up to your tricks.
With its instant response and huge de-power range it will give you the confidence to enjoy riding at your own pace. The SBow 2011 has great de-power wherever the kite is positioned in the wind-window, which makes it an excellent kite for beginners as well as pro- wave riders.
Enhanced Profile
Due to its enhanced profile, the SBow 2011 kiteboarding kite is perfect as an all round kite and versatile for all-conditions kite.
Power consistency is optimized in order to stabilize kite behavior- especially in gusty winds. It also means that the kite is more forgiving if you make mistakes while flying.
The SBow 2011 enhanced profile, along with the smaller leading edge diameter, creates less drag so that riders can enjoy much easier upwind riding; and increased pop, so kiteboarders can do higher jumps and enjoy longer hang time sensations. The SBow 2011 kite makes progression during each session a very simple undertaking.
Safe and Easy Re-launch
Safety is our core principle at Starkites. With this in mind, the SBow 2011 re-launching capabilities are as simple as it gets: you just need to pull one of the leader lines a few centimeters, and it will re-launch the kite.
2011 StarKites NeX Control Bar/Lines: Included!
The StarKites 2011 NeX Control Bar is a concept based on simplicity and functionality. The NeX Bar is at its purest form, no gimmicks or gadgets. StarKites has grabbed the simplest and strongest safety system, depower strap, bar and chicken loop on the market and put them together with the international safety color code. The end result is a control bar that offers the highest safety standards without scaring away the core riders looking for a clean bar that can endure maximum beating. The NeX Bar is as great for pros as it is for beginners.
Features:
Chicken Loop: the StarKites chicken loop design is a leader in the industry, the r&d was done by combining a group of 3 teams and they took into consideration all the latest developments achieved in the industry on chicken loops. StarKites came out with an ergonimic shape that fit perfectly in the hand for a quick, comfortable and strong hold to release the kite in a reliable use. The Chicken Loop has passed all the tests of strength, functionality, durability and reliability; it is complying with the AFNOR standard. The finger is set to the side to stay out of the way when practicing unhooked riding.
Depower Strap: it is made of solid nylon straps, 1 strap for power and 1 strap for depower. It is color coded for instinctive knowledge of which strap to pull during action. So far the best system as per its simplicity of use and the easy angles to pull and lock compare to the ones located above the chicken loops.
Bar: it is made of carbon with an aluminum center to prevent wearing from the center line.
Lines: StarKites uses the best line manufacturer on the market. The line ends come with heavy duty pigtails with a plastic shrink wrap at the intersection between the line and the pigtail to prevent the normal wear and tear that usually occurs at that spot. The lines are set up to reduce mistakes while rigging: knots in the back lines and loops in the front.
Center Line: the center line is made of spectra inside a PU to prevent wearing. Although this part should last as long as the life of your kite, replacing it is fast and eary.
Leader Lines: looped-ends for anti-tangling connections. Made with 3mm spectra, it is covered by a supple PU sleeve to protect both the hands and the lines.
Floaters: for protection and buoyancy, also prevents tangles, easily slide up to access the line adjustments.
Back Line Adjustments: 3 different attachment points. All bars are set for the best stability at the wind window's edge. You can very easily fine tune your bar to your own riding style.
Elastic Bungee: Top quality bungee is integrated in the bar ends in order to keep lines organized once bar is folded. The bungee stays stucked away when using the bar.
Bar Ends: Simple and clean with rounded tips for easy winding and safety.
Bar Grip: The grip is comfortable, soft, using the best EVA with hand finger positions: color coded red on left and black/grey on right to comply with the international stardards.
Safety System:
StarKites integrated the simplest system possible to allow everyone to ride with the freedom of suicide riding, yet at any moment can be released to offer maximum safety as the kite flags ouit on one front line. The safety line passes through the center of the chicken loop in order to attach the leash on the safety ring located just under the head of the chicken loop.
Clicking Swivel: Located on the top of the chicken loop, to remove any twists caused during rotations, the swivel has a clicking affect to keep the chicken loop straight and stiff when unhooking.
