Sizes: 4.0 | 5.0 | 6.0 | 7.0 | 9.0 | 10.0 | 12.0

Purpose: FREERIDE | WAVE

IQ is designed for wave, it has all the checks you need during a wave session. The turning speed will allow you to change the direction and follow the wave, high stability will ensure a sense of security even in the most hardcore situations, and great maneuverability to go exactly where you want.

Thanks to the direct bar feel and great responsiveness, IQ will allow you to get to the critical point of the wave and escape critical situations.

Features:

• Stability - lines stay tight during the most hardcore surf ascents.
• Easy restart from the water.
• Huge drift.
• It maintains a high level of stability as a result of which you can tame the waves without worrying about the kite.

FEATURES

ANTI TANGLE WEBBINGS

Anti-tangle webbings at the strut and LE ends prevent line tangling and damages to the kite by tangled lines.

BRIDLES

Dyneema lines with a polyester sleeve for protection, Logic V-bridles with triangle construction for stiff arc support.

COMPUTER AIDED CUTTING

Fabric panels are cut with a computer controlled plotter for highest quality.

DACRON

The high-density polyester Dacron, impregnated (waterproof) and polyurethane coated creates excellent dimension stability and lowa water absorbtion.

KITE-BODY SEAMS

Triple zick-zack sewed and glued flat seams result in less turbulences on the wing surface.

KOOK PROOF CONNECTIONS

It's impossible to mix up lines with the kook proof connections to the kite.

PROTECTION

Heavy duty and super light Kevlar patches in the tip range prevent abrasion at the typical spots. Dacron panels provide force distribution of the connection points.

SPINNAKER

Special PU-coated, extra light (48g/m²) double rip-stop polyester fabric for a perfect balance of tear strength and dimension stability.

TE CONSTRUCTION

The reinforcement of the TE with a Kevlar TM line makes the dimension of the TE stay the same forever. Kevlar does not shrink or stretch. Stiff lines create a crisp bar feeling due to lack of stretch in the TE. The special shape of the double spinnaker panel brakes down high frequencies and prevents fluttering even after many hours of use.
