The dynamic profile of the Nova ensures the perfect combination between stability and ease of use, while creating a superfast and agile foil with a massive depower range. The new Nova is made of Skytex 32 making it a very lightweight wing that flies even in the lightest breeze. 

The Nova’s innovative dynamic profile makes the kite adjustable across its entire depower reach. Depowering the Nova creates a full reflex profile for more stability and control. Powering the Nova will release something spectacular resulting in a superfast and agile wing. Every size has been developed individually to maximize performance. Each size comes with a different Aspect Ratio, Cell count and profile. This year PLKB also introduce the 15- and 18-meter ‘SuperNova’. These performance wings were developed with more race behavior for foil- and buggy riders in mind. 

The Nova is made of durable Skytex 32 and with a weight starting at 1.11 kg, it gets you up on the water with only a few knots. The one-way inlets were redesigned to create an even more airtight foil that makes water relaunches effortless, even in low wind conditions. Nova V2 is a super versatile kite that you can easily fly as an Lei kite while enjoying all benefits of a Foil kite at the same time.

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


Product highlights

DYNAMIC PROFILE

Stability meets agility with the Nova’s dynamic profile, ensuring a superfast foil with extensive depower capabilities


LIGHTWEIGHT

Crafted from Skytex 32 Nylon Ripstop, the Nova is exceptionally light, offering flight in the gentlest of breezes



CUSTOMIZED PERFORMANCE

Each Nova size is uniquely developed for optimal performance, featuring varying aspect ratios, cell counts, and profiles


VERSATILE AND INTUITIVE

The Nova V2 combines the ease of an LEI kite with the advantages of a foil kite, including minimal packing, expansive wind range, and impressive speed



Features

SHAPE MEMORY STRUCTURE

The inside of the kite is designed especially to maximize dimensional stability as well as reduced need for bridle points. The tension straps running along the bottom skin are a technical detail borrowed from the Twinskin/Arc design, and ensures proper bulging of the bottom skin while keeping the tension in check. The clever D and H Ribs allow for evenly spaced out bridle points and create a very rigid frame


MEDIUM ASPECT RATIO, HIGH CELL COUNT

The Nova’s medium Aspect Ratio and high cell count make for a very slick wing. The high number of cells ensure the wings dimensional stability and prevents deforming of the designed shape. The Medium Aspect ratio makes the kite highly stable and allows for ease of use in a large wind range


HIGH END PARAGLIDER CANOPY

To ensure a light weight yet tough construction, we’ve used Skytex 32 Nylon Ripstop which is one of the most advanced materials to use. The top and bottom skin have a soft coating for optimal cell bulging, and the internal construction is made out of hard coated Skytex 32 for strength and rigidity


DYNACORE BRIDLES

To make the bridles easy to understand, each Dynacore bridle lines for the A, B, C and brake bridle rows come in a different colour. These different colours offer a clear overview of which line goes where, making it straightforward to set-up the kite or untangle if necessary. Dynacore is a sleeved Dyneema® line, which offers all the benefits of Dyneema® (minimal stretch, direct & responsive steering) but with additional protection


RONSTAN® ORBIT PULLEYS

The Nova’s speed system is constructed with 2×2 Ronstan® Orbit pulleys, these high quality pulleys weigh only 9 grams and allow for loads up to 250 kg. And since the line goes through the bearing, it will always stay connected even in the rare case the pulley gets damage


SINGLE DESIGN

Each individual size has its very own design specifics, cell count and aspect ratio. This ensures optimal performance in each size as well as synergized handling, feel and balance across the range. Each size comes with a different Aspect Ratio, Cell count and profile. This year PLKB introduce the 15- and 18-meter ‘SuperNova’. These performing wings are developed with more race behavior in mind for foil and buggy riders


REINFORCED BRIDLE POINTS

The bridle tabs are double stitched and reinforced with a Dacron patch for strength and durability, a Peter Lynn innovation which has proven its reliability time over time
