Tri-Flow:
If you look closely at the canopy on the leading edge, you will see multiple triangular shaped panels. These are called TriFlow and create a smooth and clean transition between the panels.
By using this technology, the canopy segments attached to the Leading edge are now able to curve both vertically and horizontally, limiting all creases from happening on the canopy closer to the leading edge.
TriFlow creates an extremely smooth surface and clean airflow over the canopy, resulting in more stability and a better overall performance of the kite. TriFlow makes the Escape even more stable so that you can focus on jumping and boosting and riding to the max.
5-Strut High Aspect Ratio:
The Hook has been designed with a 5-strut construction, built for massive hangtime, speed and upwind capabilities.
Also, the high Aspect Ratio increases the aerodynamics of the wing, and helps your landings by gently placing you on the water. Buttery landings are a must if you’re starting to really push your riding.
Extremely Durable Canopy:
By using a clever combination of the best materials the industry has to offer and the latest construction techniques we’ve created a strong and durable wing.
PLKB had in mind to make the materials of the Hook extra durable so that anyone can easily progress with this kite. From trick to trick, the Hook’s canopy will never fail you.
Adjustable Pig Tail Position:
By moving the pigtail over the back bridle lines away from the kite, you can compensate for front line stretching.
Or, by moving the pigtail over the back bridle lines towards the kite, you can compensate for a less responsive kite.
This is why PLKB kites are equipped with 4 pre-set attachment points on the back bridle lines. This will make sure you always have the same feeling even when the kite gets older.
Multiple Tip Settings:
The Swell has multiple tip settings on the wingtips giving the rider full control over how they want the kite to fly.
It can be set up with super light bar pressure or hard direct feedback for those days when you are in the barrel and need to feel every nuance of the kite.
Fits All Valve:
PLKB kites are equipped with a ‘fit-all-valve’ for easy inflation. The bayonet fitting fits all pumps and the large valve opening makes inflation a breeze.
You won’t have to spend hours and hours looking for a pump with the right connection, and will be out on the water in no time.
Double Stitched Leading Edge:
Multiple reinforcements improve durability. The leading edge and struts are built with the most durable Dacron. The entire span of the leading edge has been reinforced along the seam with double stitches to protect it from getting damaged when crashing or getting a pounding by waves, making it hands down one of the toughest kites on the market.
All the bridle attachment points are reinforced with Dacron patches that are stitched on the inside of the leading edge so, even if all the power is channelled through one bridle point, the kite will not get damaged.
