ShortText:

Focus on massive depower, higher flying speed, and exceptional stability in stormy conditions make this kite the perfect tool for taking your riding to the next level. 

Hook V4s' leading edge was further fine-tuned and updated with a new 4-point bridle system. With less drag through the air, this kite is quick and playful through its turns and is perfect for most conditions.

The new extended range now features 7.0 and 9.0 sizes allowing riders to utilize the perfect size depending on wind conditions and riders' personal preferences.

Each size of the Hook V4 has a unique design tailored to specific wind conditions. Sizes below 10 meters are designed for stronger winds, while 10 meters and up are optimized for lower wind speeds, creating more lift with lower speeds. As with any plane, the lift is generated by the wing profile and speed. Larger kites have less speed than smaller kites, which requires a different wing profile and shape to achieve maximum height.

Notes: Bar to be purchased separately. You can find the recommended bar size for each kite size in the table.

 

Build to last, all Hook V4 sizes are made using super durable Teijin Triple Ripstop fabric and feature multiple Kevlar and Dacron reinforcements along its canopy and leading edge.

The new Hook V4 is a playful ride to cruise around, jump high and enjoy the view. - Never Stop going higher!


Product highlights

BOOSTING & HANG-TIME

The Hook has been designed with maximum progressive performance in mind. The Hook's high AR frame delivers the speed you need to boost big. Its forward speed is easily translated into huge floaty jumps and its smooth controls allow for buttery landings


GREAT HANDLING AND KITE FEEDBACK

The Hook features a 4 point, single pulley bridle. This makes the kite smooth, highly responsive while it offers a feeling of effortlessness in its controls. Even depowered all the way the kite remains responsive and quick to turn, combined with PLKB’s renowned kite stability you’ll feel safe and in control even in the most demanding conditions



LIGHT WIND & UPWIND PERFORMANCE

The larger Hooks are amazing in light winds. They are light and well-balanced so that they will fly in even the lightest breezes, perfect for riders who want to constantly practice. Thanks to the high Aspect Ratio the Hook has a high flying speed and great upwind drive, making it an excellent hydrofoil option


EXCEPTIONAL WIND RANGE

The Hook will get you going earlier and will let you stay out longer. Thanks to the specially constructed leading edge and efficient bridle, the Hook has an exceptionally large and effective wind range. It has great low-end power, without sacrificing any of the high-end performance



Features

5-STRUT HIGH ASPECT RATIO

The Hook has been designed with a 5-strut construction, built for massive hangtime, speed and upwind capabilities. Also, the high Aspect Ratio increases the aerodynamics of the wing, and helps your landings by gently placing you on the water. Buttery landings are a must if you’re starting to really push your riding


HIGH DEPOWER & DIRECT STEERING BRIDLE

The Hook has an arc bridle system with one fork to distribute the power better across the Leading Edge and maintaining a solid shape. Integrated with one pulley to absorb gust better and to make steering a bit lighter, maintaining a very direct feel and response


SPEED X AERODYNAMICS

The profile is designed to maximise speed and aerodynamics. After intensive sampling, the best profile was created to create a fast wing that flies to the edge of the wind window when needed and create massive speed when needed. It increases high end so you can control your kite longer while sending it for a jump, it shoots you to the moon


KEVLAR REINFORCEMENTS

Every PLKB kite was reinforced with bullet proof Kevlar bumpers. These bumpers are filled with lightweight foam to create an absorption layer for crashes or when the kite accidentally got dragged over land. This way your kite lasts longer. This will increase the durability of your kite so you can play longer


DURABLE TEIJN TRIPLE CANOPY

The custom-made Triple Ripstop from Teijin is the best on the market


ADJUSTABLE BAR PRESSURE

All PLKB kites come with adjustable back line settings to adjust the bar feel of the kite. Moving the bridle attachment point back towards the trailing edge will make the steering pressure lighter but will require more movement of the bar. Changing the settings is super easy, just detach the back bridle line and reattach it to your preferred setting to have more or less bar pressure and steering movement. This is a personal decision based on your riding style and experience


DOUBLE KOOKPROOF PIGTAILS

Forgot what knot your lines were attached to? By adding an extra pigtail to the backlines of the kite, you don't have to think about the right setting for your kite because it's always your favourite


DOUBLE STITCHED LEADING EDGE

Multiple reinforcements improve durability. The leading edge and struts are built with the most durable Dacron. The entire span of the leading edge has been reinforced along the seam with double stitches to protect it from getting damaged when crashing or getting a pounding by waves, making it hands down one of the toughest kites on the market. All the bridle attachment points are reinforced with Dacron patches that are stitched on the inside of the leading edge so, even if all the power is channelled through one bridle point, the kite will not get damaged
