Fan fetaste färgen. Alla vill ju ha den så jag tycker att man kan slopa alla andra färger och bara göra rastas. Tycker alla ska ut och rasta sin rasta.

Flexifoil Ion – A True Hybrid
In order to try and keep a reasonable feel to the kite, Flexifoil used a moderate Aspect Ratio design, similar to that of a Fusion. However as they were going to use a bridle, they were able to use a flatter front shape. For a traditional kite the lift forces operating around the kite have to balance with the flying line forces. This constrains the front shape of the kite. For the Ion Flexifoil were able to flatten the kite considerably, so when the kite is powered (with the rear lines tensioned) the additional lift forces created in the tips, provide a flatter more efficient shape. In the depowered state, the bridle supports the shape rather than the lift forces, so the conventional C shape is not required.This arrangement of design and bridle enables Flexifoil to produce a kite with a tow point exceptionally far forward, to provide excellent depower yet still creating an efficient powered kite. Also, in conjunction with the forward tow point they used a pulley to dynamically change the tow point position depending on the rear line tension. The advantage of this is you get large depower, yet the bar pressure remains light when powered up.

Best of Both Worlds

The advantages the Ion kite has over a BOW kite are that it is still able to provide the excellent depower characteristics so loved by beginners and wave riders, but its also able to give the kite a crisp light direct response, and an incredibly simple bar system. The other feature is how easy the kite is to fly. The direct bar control means you know exactly where the kite is, and it just makes flying the kite so easy. So in conclusion, Flexifoil have achieved their goal of improving on the original BOW design and have produced a kite which still feels like a conventional kite, but has much greater de-power and is really easy to use. The Ion just makes it easier to learn new tricks, and enables you to enjoy a much wider range of conditions. To cap it all off – it is just perfect for smacking lips. What more could you want?
