SPRINT AIRLOCK


This Sprint Inflation system allow you to pump your kite in the easiest and most efficient way possible. One-way Airlock quickly pumps air to all struts from a single valve. After inflating you can close off each strut separately to keep stiff profile of the kite and avoid deflation in case of accident with leading edge. Deflation takes seconds thanks to Airlock valve`s dump feature.

POWER CONTROL


This system allows you to quickly adjust power level of the kite. Each steering line “pig tail” connector has three positions. Middle one is factory recommended. By connecting line closer to the kite, you will get more power. In strong winds if you want to have less power, connect rear line to the knot closes to the rider.
