HIGH EFFICIENCY FREERIDEnewPersonal review: I've had a chance to fly this kite a lot already with foil boards, trip tips and even surf boards and this kite absolutely rips. The range is much better than any other kite I've flown on a foil board. Jumps are insane with crazy hang time. The relaunch is also much better than I expected. Being such high aspect, I thought it would be hard to relaunch, but it's better than I expected. Oftentimes, if overpowered on a foil board it's really hard to ride out gusts unless you are an expert rider. The Apollo just powers right through gusts and rips upwind even harder. Awesome kite. Bob SIZES: 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 12 / 14 / 16RIDER PROFILE: For any type of riding where forward speed and acceleration must be matched by the speed of the kite with effortless management. Excellent for foil boarding or speed kiting. DESIGN PROFILE: 5 Strut, Bow kite design, Pro Span technology, High aspect ratio, 3 bridle setting options The Apollo is a performance freeride kite designed to pull every bit of power out of the atmosphere and deliver it right into your hands. It is purpose built for kiteboarding, meaning that it has been designed from the ground up specifically for the sport of kiteboarding. The inflated skeletal frame of the kite sets it apart from a ram air kite in many ways. The skeletal frame provides the structure that keeps the kite design true to its intended shape while in-flight. In shifty winds, the inflated struts drive the kite through turbulence with a minimal amount of deformation. The inflated leading edge structure of the kite introduces the laminar flow of air across the kite’s Pure Profile panels, making it very stable even at low speeds. These inflation properties make the Apollo unbeatable as a light wind performance kite and incredibly accurate as a high wind kite. It also goes without mention that an inflatable kite is much more reliable to relaunch, thereby making the Apollo much safer and much more fun to ride t…
