The Flysurfer Viron 3 is safe, intuitive and comfortable. The Viron 3 makes getting started in kiting even easier and safer. Intuitive handling for playful learning, simply unpack and get started. A playful introduction to kitesports on the land, water or snow!
Harness your enthusiasm from the first minute. Maximise your learning curve with this unique depower foil kite concept allowing you to quickly build trust whilst the B-Safe system keeps you safe.
The Viron 3 allows riders with the necessary basic knowledge, to develop their own experience in dealing with wind and water and to spend more time with their kite allowing them to progress faster. The thick profile and lower aspect ratio of the wing decrease lift whilst the flattening of the leading edge reduces the lift/drag ratio.
These design characteristics mean reduced acceleration within the power zone and therefore moderate power development to facilitate control. The spherical shape of the Viron 3 is perfect for relaunching, preventing quick leewards drifting.
The integrated B-Safe system reefs the kite in an emergency situation, therefore minimizing wing area and a resulting loss of power. Riders tend to benefit from these design features as they help to prevent common situations when learning, which can be very stressful.
Easy Relaunch:
When it comes to relaunch, Flysurfer set a new kiteboarding benchmark with the Viron 3. The Flysurfer Viron 3 is the first kite to incorporate Auto-Relaunch. Even in low winds, when letting go of the bar, the kite skims automatically across the water and remains parked and ready at the edge of the window. With just a simple steering impulse, the Viron 3 flies on. Furthermore Flysurfer have built a special bridle into the kite that makes it practically impossible to get tangled on the water.
Easy and Simple Handling:
The Viron 3 delivers exactly the flight feeling you need for a safe entry into the sport. With all the functions and handling of a full-grown kitesurfing kite but with moderate power, the Viron is at home wherever maximum safety and reliability are required. With gentle bar pressure and progressive bar feedback. Bothersome, long steering paths are unknown to the Viron, you have access to the entire depower throw within an arms length. The Viron is the result of Flysurfer's constant attempt to construct a kite resistant to all operating errors. Including endless hard landings on the water.
B-Safe System:
The B-Safe System is guided through sliding rings outwards along the A-Level. After activating the quick release, the bar slides up the 5th line and the kite is reefed horizontally in the middle. This removes the pressure in the kite and allows it to come down powerless through the wind window. The VIRON3 can be reactivated upon demand and is immediately ready to re-launch.
Simple Bridle Concept:
The Simple Bridle Concept has an A-level bridle, as well as brake level bridle (Z) and comes without a mixer (pulley system). The direct connection of the flying lines, achieves light bar forces for easy handling. The kite uses pulleys on each wingtip to improve feedback when steering. The excellent depower is significantly supported by the flattening of the leading edge which reduces lift. This combination of features never lets the Viron 3 accelerate abruptly, which greatly increases control in stronger winds and makes the kite more predictable.
Impact Absorbing Technology:
Durability and quality are essential for training use. The VIRON has a special material mix that features double stiched seams, reinforced ribs and straps at load points. Elastic, air-permeable mesh panels are integrated in the chambers to absorbs the impact energy. The top and bottom sail is made out of our proven 32g DLX+ fabric (Double Rip Stop).
Self-Inflating:
Flysurfer have significantly improved the inflation of the Viron by including a sharknose in the leading edge and integrate rigid foils around the air intake valve. These allow the kite to form its wing profile faster and maintains optimal dynamic pressure during turning. The start and (water)restart is faster and kite control further increased.
Automatic Drainage System:
The Viron 3 has a large air intake that reaches up to the trailing edge and largely prevents possible ingress of water. The drainage system is integrated into the whole trailing edge of the kite and ends in the form of hand-wide openings at both wing tips. This allows water and sand to drain automatically from the kite, without affecting the kite’s flying behaviour.
The Flysurfer Viron 3 surpasses all boundaries. This is a kite that makes it possible for children to get started in the sport. It is also the answer for cautious or nervous kiters re-entering the sport after an accident. The Viron is also the storm kite for accomplished riders. Stress-free fun, regardless of terrain and equipment. Whether on a landboard, with ice skates, in the waves, while snowkiting, with a mountain board, on a SUP or just on the beach.
Flysurfer Connect Control Bar:
The Connect Control Bar is tidy, lightweight and safe. Configured to use the B-Safe security system, it features 7 + 14m flying lines with a high split Y. The lightweight bar stick is equipped with soft bar ends and offers great comfort, smooth steering whilst depowering, as well as maximum safety during your session.
Flying characteristics:
Good Power and Wind Range
The good low end performance allows you to learn and train in a much lighter wind speeds without compromising the top end that Flysurfer kites are renowned for!
Predictable Flying and Turning Speed
Enjoy a predictable flying kite while training, buggying or landboarding! The Viron's profile shape and tip design makes the Flysurfer Viron turn fast and easy with a comfortable bar pressure.
Exceptional Low End Performance
Using the latest design techniques, the Flysurfer Viron flies in very light wind conditions allowing you to get as much training practice out of your kite as possible.
Lift and Float
The special design of the profile gives you a fast flying kite with a small amount of lift allowing you to practice jumps in safety.
Unmatched Stability
Even in gusty inland conditions, the Flysurfer Viron is extremely stable and is virtually impossible for the kite to luff!
Water Relaunching
Because of the extreme stability, a Flysurfer kite is unlikely to ever hit the water in the first place.
However if it does, the waterproof taped and reinforced seams and the incorporated silicon valve design behind the air intakes along the kite's leading edge trap the air inside the kite, and make it very hard for water to get in.
The large volume of air keeps the whole kite floating on top of the water, so there is nothing stopping the kite from taking off. With very little practice, water re-launching a Flysurfer is very simple, quick, and easy to do.

The Wind Range Chart is to be used as a point of reference. It is based on a rider who weighs around 75kg (165lbs.) Actual use will vary depending on your weight, skill level, conditions on the Water or Land, Board Size and skill level. When choosing the Kite size always use common sense and always choose a smaller size if you are not sure, especially when using the kite on land.
