Lightweight Paulownia Wood Core
Improved layup for more pop
Bullet proof deep section ABS rails

The Armada freeride boards set sail once again with our high-end package of advanced build quality and performance features.

To deliver maximum strength between your feet and minimum swing weight to help you land all your tricks, our Supremo wood core uses a laminated Paulownia wood construction with a fiberglass taped spine reinforcement. A PVC foam core-surround with integrated flex-tips gives you precise control underfoot and provides outrageous durability for all conditions riding.

A smooth waisted outline with a shallow concave keeps the V3 boards responsive underfoot, helping to maximize low-end ability without adding volume. Thinning the core towards the tips allows smooth progressive carving through the turns and gives you ample flex for checking in even the roughest landings.

The Armada V3 boards deliver top flight performance and construction quality once again. Their blend of light weight, high strength, easy handling and great looks make them the ideal freeride board for demanding riders.

Breaking boundaries, the NEW 2011 Slingshot Tyrant 6’1" meets the needs of expert kitesurfers. The 6’1" Tyrant is a tri fin, true to the bone short board that does it all without the parabolic carbon rails as in its sibling the Tyrant 6’2". The 6’1" has a deeper single concave under foot with double between the fins. It also has a more "pulled in" tail than the 6’2" making it sharp and explosive. The Tyrant 6’1" also incorporates the all NEW WVS Bamboo construction that translates to rail tight traction and a lively feel. WVS also makes the Tyrant the most durable kite surfboard offered today.

The Tyrant 6’1" lets you put more power in your wave riding.Ride it strapped or strapless. The tri fin configuration also allows for snappy turns in the pocket and solid drive down the line. And the mini tuttle fin box provides super structure when reefs or shoreline crop up.

The Profanity is for wakestyle riders who want a faster, stiffer board with insane pop. Our unique vertical sandwich core gives us absolute control over the flex pattern, so you retain total control on the water.

With a continuous rocker and a single to double bottom concave you’ll find rail to rail carves have never felt so smooth. For hitting kickers and sliders we’ve incorporated a twin-channel into the tip to help you grip without fins and provided you with a unique beveled rail so you won’t trip you front rail hitting sliders.

The Profanity is built to handle the abuse that rails and kickers can hand down no matter how hard you ride, with bindings or straps; it's the ultimate wakestyle weapon.

	Vertical Sandwich core: The profanity is our first board to use the new Vertical Sandwich core where we bond a laminated Paulownia wood core section to a high density foam base layer. This new construction allows us to blend the light weight and fast rebound of a wood core with the added strength and impact resistance of a foam core.
	PVC Core Surround: Our new PVC Core Surround design allows the flex pattern to be pushed right out into the tips giving you an incredibly stable platform between your bindings, providing insane pop for launching tricks. It also allows us to bevel the underside of the deck upwards by 1.5mm right across the rail, ensuring that no matter how you hit a slider you aren't going to catch your toe edge.
	Twin Channel Tip: A quick planing single to double concave bottom shape flows into a twin-channel tip, providing added lift for reduced drag and making the board easier to ride in lighter conditions. Our twin-channel also provides added straight line grip allowing you ride smaller fins or even finless for hitting kickers and sliders.
	Controlled Flex Tips: A great board needs progressive flex to be able to resist the low frequency impacts of heavy landings and still be able to soak up the high frequency chatter generated by riding through choppy water at speed. The Profanity does just that to give you the perfect blend of comfort and control.
	Triax Lay-up: The Profanity uses multiple weight bi-ax and uni-directional cloth in a ‘0 -45 +45’ layup to provide precise control of board flex, ensuring a lively feel and swift reaction to rider input. Added Biax cloth helps resist the additional torsional loads generated when wearing bindings so your Profanity will never feel like a wet noodle no matter how hard you charge.
	Binding compatible inserts: The Profanity is built from the ground up to take bindings, we've integrated a six inch insert spacing to accommodate the latest wakeboard bindings while still allowing you the option to run seven inch straps and pads if you aren't ready for bindings yet.

RP Bar V2

The Red-Line Performance Bar V2 combines everyone’s favorite features and safety options into one unbeatable bar. Simple enough for anyone to understand, yet with enough versatility to satisfy even the most demanding riders, it’s guaranteed to set the standard yet again this season.

The push-to-release QR now comes in a Pro-Cuff version to eliminate accidental releases without increasing the minimum release tension. With only one moving part, the Click-It QR is easy to reassemble and designed to work consistently with a positive release action with release loads in excess of 150 kgs.

The under bar swivel has been improved with added drainage vents and low profile twist-tabs making it smoother to turn no matter how many loops you’ve thrown. Depower line wear is eliminated with the introduction of our new Sacrifice Insert System of replaceable low friction Delrin bar center inserts.

The RP-Bar V2 retains the dual center depower lines, stopper ball, redline and suicide safety options of the previous performance bar. The V2 is the perfect bar for riders of all levels who demand the most reliable and predictable safety system options and ease of use features.

New ultra soft, low profile molded bar ends with integral line winders help make those one handed loops easier than you expected and a new 3D grip pattern ensures you stay in contact with the bar however you ride.

Low stretch, 700 lb rated, flying lines, color coded for easy setup and proven to offer incredible durability complete the RP-Bar V2 package - it’s our most complete bar yet.

Sizes:
Small - 47cm, Medium - 52cm, Large - 57cm

	Pro-QR Cuff: A one piece, injection molded quick release with push-to-release outer-cuff ensures reliable and easy safety system activation. With no mechanical internal parts there's nothing to foul to inhibit safe operation. The Pro-QR cuff has a reduced contact lip at the top of the cuff to minimize false release from riding unhooked yet still delivers the same low activation pressure for safe function even under load.
	Dual Depower Stopper Ball: Our 3 into 1 Dual Depower stopper ball allows for all flying lines to pass through it giving you all the benefits of our well established stopper ball design bars as well as the safety and bypass functionality of our previous Redline bar design.
	Redline Safety Leash: The Redline safety leash connects you directly to the front lines of your kite, allowing you to completely depower your kite. The Redline safety overrides the depower stopper ball automatically whenever you drop the bar or activate the 'Click-it' QR.
	Forged Center: A drop forged alloy bar center gives you maximum strength between your hands. The new design also allows the EVA bar grip to run right up to the center hole, making unhooked kite control just that little bit more secure than before.
	Sacrifice Insert System: Replaceable, low friction Delrin bar inserts help eliminate center line wear. The undersides are shaped to give a positive locking fit with the under bar swivel.
	‘Twist Tab’ Under Bar Swivel: A low friction swivel with new twist tabs makes untwisting your lines easier than ever before. Designed to be easy to clean the swivel is updated with flush through vents so it can be cleaned in seconds. Should you ever need to strip your swivel it can be disassembled in seconds and all parts are available as spares.
	Big Ass Bar Ends: When we designed our new bars we used the strongest and lightest composite engineering plastics that we could find to help make the stiffest bar ends we had ever made. Then we took these marvels of lightweight engineering and buried them in the biggest, fattest, softest and most comfortable EVA bar end covers you’ll ever smack yourself in the face with. They might not look like a skinny supermodel, but trust us- there’s simply no substitute for cushion when you’re pushing.

2012 EZ Repair Kit

2012 Bars Manual

• Human Kinetic Technology System: Analysis of kite forces, joint movements, load distribution, harness constructions and materials has combined findings into fully redeveloped radical harness designs.
• H-flex Force Frame: The ‘H’ in this force frame is formed by 3 Fiberglass battens. 2 slightly angled vertical ones and 1 horizontal. The vertical battens ensure a perfect harness shape and thus good load distribution during hooked sessions. When you ‘pop’ unhooked tricks the vertical battens ‘flex’ around the axis of the horizontal batten adding comfort. The horizontal batten also keeps the backside of the harness stiff when there’s load on your handle pass leash. So when you crash you’ll be still ‘in’ your harness rather then squeezed ‘in between’ your harness. A thicker but more flexible plastic plate forms the base of the force frame. All together, freedom of movement, comfort and load distribution are set to a higher level.
• System Down System"Waist": Locks the spreaderbar down, giving you more control while performing your manoeuvres. In high kite positions the system activates a side-to-side force chain preventing the harness from riding up.
• 3D Anatomical Back Support: With the newly invented 3D Back Support, Mystic is technically speaking steps ahead of the competition. The anatomical preformed nylon backsupport is positioned inside the back panel of the waist harness and gives the waist harness a contoured shape in horizontal and vertical directions. The back support is connected through the continuous 40mm webbing of the spreaderbar. The spread of forces is divided by the 360° effect which gives maximum comfort, support and fit without losing any feel. The continued strap is attached to the back support from one side to the other side of the harness (360° effect). When hooked in and riding, the tension on the spreaderbar will be spreaded over the back support which gives maximum comfort.
• Kinetic Back Support KM3: Combing the advantages of thermo moulding and neoprene, the mould is fitted with bending lines to let the harness adapt to the continuous altering of the human body.
• Seamless Neoprene Edge: A Soft and padded neoprene edge to prevent rash on top of the pelvic bones. While grabbing your board and boning out your tricks, the ribs encounter the harnesses edge. Therefore this edge should be designed with the human kinetic technology principle and with the form of the rib case in mind. By doing so we introduce the flex edge. The sides of the harness are more flexible on points where the load distribution allows it, as a result the flex edge gives you more freedom of movement and painfull ribs are history.
• Flex Edge: While grabbing your board and tweaking out your tricks the rib's can encounter the harnesses edge. The sides of the harness is now more flexible on points where the load distribution allows it.
• Twin Batten Load Distribution Frame: Some parts of the body can handle pressure better than other parts. The internal twinbatten load distribution frame actively coordinates the distribution of the load around these parts of the body.
• Integrated Handle Pass System Fix: As standard on the Shadow kite harnesses is a Handle Pass System with a PU tube connected to both Delta double power leashrings.
• Delta Double Power Leashring: Gives you the ability to split the force on the leashrings in half while the ring itself secured to the strongest part of the harness.
• Battle Belt Waist Closure
• Neoprene Belt: This waist belt is secured on the frame on the inside of the harness. The stretch in the belt makes your harness feel comfortable from the moment you put it on. The Velcro on the battle belt is positioned in such a way that it won’t damage your suit, lycra or skin.
• Soft Neoprene Edges: For a soft feel and great traction for a soft feel both on bare skin or a wetsuit.
• Kite Spreaderbar with protector cover
• 3D Thermo Moulded Foam Interior and Exterior: By using the process of thermo moulding Mystic are able to add characteristics we needed for comfort and looks.
• Safety Knife: Cuts flying lines in an emergency.
• Quick release Clickerbar: 100% Safe and Easy to Use. Mystic's patent pending Clicker Bar is super safe and so easy to use, you can get out on the water even faster. Just as the seatbelt in your car, you can hear the loud click, which gives you the confidence that it is secure.

NOBILE KITEBOARDING's 4-Line Carbon Control Bar is one of the most versatile SLE kiteboarding control bars on the market today.

With Nobile's extensive experience of molding technology and their in-house engineers - Nobile have reviewed the mechanical problems presented by current control and bar systems and their quick release and safety equipment has been designed using their own original ideas to resolve them.

Riders of all levels, from pros to newcomers, will all gain substantial advantages from this new system.

Nobile Fulcrum Quick Release:

Nobile’s all new Fulcrum De-power loop is the industries first 100% molded Quick Release (QR). By analyzing ALL the requirements and applying a little “outside the box” thinking we created a completely integrated system that moves away from the much used cantilever principle, under which the pressure needed to open the QR increases as the load on the system rises, instead the Fulcrum has a constant release pressure no matter the forces placed upon it.

The molded construction helps to vastly increase the life expectancy of the unit whilst negating the need for regular maintenance and cleaning. Whilst safety was of the utmost importance in the design of the Fulcrum, it’s functionality had to be superior too.

The Lock In Finger (LIF) has been designed with three operating positions with the finger in a vertical position you can insert it through the end of the spreader bar and prevent inadvertent unhooking. By turning the LIF through one click it is held to one side out of the way (ideal for making unhooked tricks) but is still available should you wish to engage it again during your session. Push the LIF from behind to remove it completely from the Fulcrum and hook in and out with complete ease.

The top of the mold has been designed to fit snuggly into the INOX centre hole in the bar thus ensuring the loop is always facing you during freestyle moves for fast hooking in again. Ease of use has been further enhanced through the use of a solid molded loop that can neither deform nor twist.

The Handle pass leash attachment point (*) allows experienced freestyle riders to attach their leash to the Fulcrum in a position that does not impede riding and eliminates the possibility of the end of the leash catching on your spreader bar hook. Finally the whole unit has been designed to allow a quick and easy change of worn out de-power lines without the need to replace the whole QR.

* The handle pass leash attachment point should only ever be utilized by expert riders once in open water and after careful consideration of the risks involved which result from dropping the bar and the possible dragging that can result. Riders should NEVER fix their leash on to this attachment point when launching the kite or near to land.

Replaceable Depower Line

The Nobile FULCRUM has been designed so that replacement of a worn de-power line can be done quickly and easily without replacing the unit itself. Unscrew and remove the Leashline/5th line attachment ring and then remove the quick release handle. The new line can be fed through the retaining piece and then the unit re-assembled.

Constant Pressure Quick Release
Due to the unique design of the FULCRUM the pressure needed to open the quick release remains constant irrespective of the loads placed upon it (unlike cantilever based systems where the pressure needed to open the release increases as the load on the unit increases). Uniquely, the system can be re-set quickly and easily after use even with only one hand - simply push the loop piece back onto the retainer and slide the release handle back down.

5th line/Leash Attachment Point
The INOX loop at the top of the FULCRUM holds the 5th line on the NHP kite and the leash line on the SLE 555. Non corroding INOX ensures the attachment point will not break but also offers minimal wear on both the line and itself during repeated use.

Handle Pass Leash Attachment
The FULCRUM features a dedicated Handle Pass Leash attachment point for maximum convenience during advanced freestyle riding.

* The handle pass leash attachment point should only ever be utilized by expert riders once in open water and after careful consideration of the risks involved which result from dropping the bar and the possible dragging that can result. Riders should NEVER fix their leash on to this attachment point when launching the kite or near to land.

Auto Locating Insert
The top of the FULCRUM has been designed to fit into the INOX bar centre piece. This ensures that the loop is always facing you during un-hooked manoeuvres allowing for fast and problem free re-hooking.

High Visibilty, Floating Loop
In the event that you become detached from the loop when the quick release is activated the FULCRUM has been built in a high visibilty red colour and designed to float making it easier to spot in the water.

3 Position Lock IN Finger (LIF)
The FULCRUM has a 3-position LIF for all riding styles. In the normal position it can be inserted into the harness hook to ensure you do not come un-hooked accidentally. In the open position the rider can perform un-hooked tricks easily however can re-engage the finger should they wish to mid session. Removing the LIF completely allows for maximum convenience when riding unhooked.

For use with most 4-Line SLE Kiteboarding Kites.

Comes complete with 20m+5m Flying Lines.

Specifications: Carbon Control Bar with Harness Leash Safety System.

20m + 5m Flying Lines: The Nobile 4 line bar comes with 20m lines and 5m extensions allowing the rider to change between long and short line set-ups whilst only having one bar. The lines also feature loop/knot ends ensuring you can not attach the lines incorrectly.
4-Line Safety: The leash line on the 4 line bar runs from the FULCRUM Quick Release up through the INOX ring and attaches to one of the front flying lines. In the event of releasing the bar the kite completely de-powers and lies in the water to one side of the window ready for immediate relaunch.
INOX Swivel: This high grade INOX swivel prevents the front flying lines becoming twited when spinning the bar after manoeuvres.
Emergency Kill Handle: Grabbing this handle and letting go of the kite will kill all the power in an emergency. It can also be used for self landing the kite.
De-Power Stopper: Our stopper has been designed to hold the bar at the desired distance from you yet still be easy to move quickly. Both the de-power line and the leash line pass through the stopper to minimize wear.
Safety Leash with Quick Release: The safety leash features a quick release for use in emergencies. Placing it close to the EVA foam protector eliminates the chance of it opening through water pressure only.
Central Bar Insert: At the centre of the Nobile carbon bar is an INOX mold that reduces de-power line wear to a minimum and due to its internal shaping decreases the pressure needed to turn the kite. The mold form is such that the FULCRUM Quick Release inserts into it ensuring the loop is always facing you during un-hooked moves.
Nobile Bar Ends: Our bar ends have been designed from scratch for practicality and function. The inside of the cap is made in soft silicone to protect your hands and colour coded to make bar direction easily recognizable. Ample space has been supplied to ensure all the flying lines and lead lines can be tidily stored around the bar at the end of your session without fear of tangles. The steering lines have two options for attachment on the bar end allowing one bar to adjust to either 48cm or 54cm length ensuring the owner can adapt their kites turning speed to their own preference.
Ergo Grip Bar: Wrapped in super comfy EVA foam the Nobile bar features ERGO shaping for enhanced grip.
Line Float and Protector: The EVA foam floats help to keep the bar floating in the water and also protect your fingers from becoming wrapped up in the pre-lines.
Power Adjuster Strap: The power strap features a pull/pull configuration to ensure ease of use. the de-power toggle is clearly marked in red and features a velcro strap to stop it flapping around when fully applied. The re-power toggle is covered in PVC tubing to make it easier to pull.

Target: Designed with fun in mind, the Park is the one kite that does it all – any rider, any style, any condition.

The Park's 3-strut design and Swept Compact C outline provides a stable and responsive kite. The powerful profile and leading edge give the rider good low-end power and consistent pull over a wide wind range.

The Park utilizes just enough sweep to maximize depower and allow easy relaunch. The Swept Compact C platform remains very close to a real C-shape in order to provide the crispness and feel in the bar that you really need.

Designed with fun in mind, the Park provides the rider with the power to boost, the handling to hit the lip with style and the ability to feel good in any condition.

Design Characteristics:
* Super easy handling
* Effortless water relaunch
* Power to boost
* Superior low-end performance

Sizes: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14

DESIGNER'S NOTES

What's New: We focused on the low-end power delivery without losing any of the light, crisp feel. LE percentage and profile depth have been tuned to improve the low-end pull. We also slightly reduced the sweep in order to get the overall platform closer to a real classic C-shape. To maintain the relaunch characteristics, we slightly extended the wing tips, to keep the same leverage on the overall kite when the rider pulls on the back line.

The Result: The rider can expect earlier planing without sacrificing handling.  The bar feel is crisper, which means the rider can better feel what the kite is doing and can steer it with precision. The relaunch is also improved over last year’s edition.

NOBILE KITEBOARDING's 4-Line Carbon Control Bar is one of the most versatile SLE kiteboarding control bars on the market today.

With Nobile's extensive experience of molding technology and their in-house engineers - Nobile have reviewed the mechanical problems presented by current control and bar systems and their quick release and safety equipment has been designed using their own original ideas to resolve them.

Riders of all levels, from pros to newcomers, will all gain substantial advantages from this new system.

Nobile Fulcrum Quick Release:

Nobile’s all new Fulcrum De-power loop is the industries first 100% molded Quick Release (QR). By analyzing ALL the requirements and applying a little “outside the box” thinking we created a completely integrated system that moves away from the much used cantilever principle, under which the pressure needed to open the QR increases as the load on the system rises, instead the Fulcrum has a constant release pressure no matter the forces placed upon it.

The molded construction helps to vastly increase the life expectancy of the unit whilst negating the need for regular maintenance and cleaning. Whilst safety was of the utmost importance in the design of the Fulcrum, it’s functionality had to be superior too.

The Lock In Finger (LIF) has been designed with three operating positions with the finger in a vertical position you can insert it through the end of the spreader bar and prevent inadvertent unhooking. By turning the LIF through one click it is held to one side out of the way (ideal for making unhooked tricks) but is still available should you wish to engage it again during your session. Push the LIF from behind to remove it completely from the Fulcrum and hook in and out with complete ease.

The top of the mold has been designed to fit snuggly into the INOX centre hole in the bar thus ensuring the loop is always facing you during freestyle moves for fast hooking in again. Ease of use has been further enhanced through the use of a solid molded loop that can neither deform nor twist.

The Handle pass leash attachment point (*) allows experienced freestyle riders to attach their leash to the Fulcrum in a position that does not impede riding and eliminates the possibility of the end of the leash catching on your spreader bar hook. Finally the whole unit has been designed to allow a quick and easy change of worn out de-power lines without the need to replace the whole QR.

* The handle pass leash attachment point should only ever be utilized by expert riders once in open water and after careful consideration of the risks involved which result from dropping the bar and the possible dragging that can result. Riders should NEVER fix their leash on to this attachment point when launching the kite or near to land.

Replaceable Depower Line

The Nobile FULCRUM has been designed so that replacement of a worn de-power line can be done quickly and easily without replacing the unit itself. Unscrew and remove the Leashline/5th line attachment ring and then remove the quick release handle. The new line can be fed through the retaining piece and then the unit re-assembled.

Constant Pressure Quick Release
Due to the unique design of the FULCRUM the pressure needed to open the quick release remains constant irrespective of the loads placed upon it (unlike cantilever based systems where the pressure needed to open the release increases as the load on the unit increases). Uniquely, the system can be re-set quickly and easily after use even with only one hand - simply push the loop piece back onto the retainer and slide the release handle back down.

5th line/Leash Attachment Point
The INOX loop at the top of the FULCRUM holds the 5th line on the NHP kite and the leash line on the SLE 555. Non corroding INOX ensures the attachment point will not break but also offers minimal wear on both the line and itself during repeated use.

Handle Pass Leash Attachment
The FULCRUM features a dedicated Handle Pass Leash attachment point for maximum convenience during advanced freestyle riding.

* The handle pass leash attachment point should only ever be utilized by expert riders once in open water and after careful consideration of the risks involved which result from dropping the bar and the possible dragging that can result. Riders should NEVER fix their leash on to this attachment point when launching the kite or near to land.

Auto Locating Insert
The top of the FULCRUM has been designed to fit into the INOX bar centre piece. This ensures that the loop is always facing you during un-hooked manoeuvres allowing for fast and problem free re-hooking.

High Visibilty, Floating Loop
In the event that you become detached from the loop when the quick release is activated the FULCRUM has been built in a high visibilty red colour and designed to float making it easier to spot in the water.

3 Position Lock IN Finger (LIF)
The FULCRUM has a 3-position LIF for all riding styles. In the normal position it can be inserted into the harness hook to ensure you do not come un-hooked accidentally. In the open position the rider can perform un-hooked tricks easily however can re-engage the finger should they wish to mid session. Removing the LIF completely allows for maximum convenience when riding unhooked.

For use with most 4-Line SLE Kiteboarding Kites.

Comes complete with 20m+5m Flying Lines.

Specifications: Carbon Control Bar with Harness Leash Safety System.

20m + 5m Flying Lines: The Nobile 4 line bar comes with 20m lines and 5m extensions allowing the rider to change between long and short line set-ups whilst only having one bar. The lines also feature loop/knot ends ensuring you can not attach the lines incorrectly.
4-Line Safety: The leash line on the 4 line bar runs from the FULCRUM Quick Release up through the INOX ring and attaches to one of the front flying lines. In the event of releasing the bar the kite completely de-powers and lies in the water to one side of the window ready for immediate relaunch.
INOX Swivel: This high grade INOX swivel prevents the front flying lines becoming twited when spinning the bar after manoeuvres.
Emergency Kill Handle: Grabbing this handle and letting go of the kite will kill all the power in an emergency. It can also be used for self landing the kite.
De-Power Stopper: Our stopper has been designed to hold the bar at the desired distance from you yet still be easy to move quickly. Both the de-power line and the leash line pass through the stopper to minimize wear.
Safety Leash with Quick Release: The safety leash features a quick release for use in emergencies. Placing it close to the EVA foam protector eliminates the chance of it opening through water pressure only.
Central Bar Insert: At the centre of the Nobile carbon bar is an INOX mold that reduces de-power line wear to a minimum and due to its internal shaping decreases the pressure needed to turn the kite. The mold form is such that the FULCRUM Quick Release inserts into it ensuring the loop is always facing you during un-hooked moves.
Nobile Bar Ends: Our bar ends have been designed from scratch for practicality and function. The inside of the cap is made in soft silicone to protect your hands and colour coded to make bar direction easily recognizable. Ample space has been supplied to ensure all the flying lines and lead lines can be tidily stored around the bar at the end of your session without fear of tangles. The steering lines have two options for attachment on the bar end allowing one bar to adjust to either 48cm or 54cm length ensuring the owner can adapt their kites turning speed to their own preference.
Ergo Grip Bar: Wrapped in super comfy EVA foam the Nobile bar features ERGO shaping for enhanced grip.
Line Float and Protector: The EVA foam floats help to keep the bar floating in the water and also protect your fingers from becoming wrapped up in the pre-lines.
Power Adjuster Strap: The power strap features a pull/pull configuration to ensure ease of use. the de-power toggle is clearly marked in red and features a velcro strap to stop it flapping around when fully applied. The re-power toggle is covered in PVC tubing to make it easier to pull.

Long Description:

Every size of the TS kite is uniquely engineered for a specific set of riding conditions - allowing the TS range to cover all riders and riding styles. Every aspect of design, shaping, material selection and construction in the TS has been refined to bring each size even closer to perfection.

Any rider looking for a high wind kite that is stable and predictable needs look no further than the 4m and 5.5m TS kites. Unhooked wave riders will find that the medium size TS kites offer the perfect blend of tight and fast steering responsiveness, light bar pressure and unhooked control, allowing them to express their style like never before.

New-school riders searching for blistering performance will be blown away by the improvements in handling, power delivery and jumping from the mid-sized TS kites. Hooked or unhooked the 7m -14m TS kites deliver greater stability, precise feedback and more performance than ever before.

For course racing and light wind conditions, the 15m and 17m TS kites are the most aerodynamically refined kites we've ever made. Refined even further they have been trimmed back to deliver maximum light wind performance and racing advantage. Changes to the center strut design and bridle positioning make them even easier to relaunch in the lightest conditions.

With sizes ranging from 4m to17m there is a TS for every rider and every riding style.

Short description:

The TS pushes the original Taboo design concept closer to perfection. With kites ranging from 4m -17m there is a TS kite for every rider and every riding style.

Any rider looking for a high wind kite that is stable and predictable need look no further than the 4m and 5.5m TS kites. Unhooked wave riders love the 7m -14m sizes for their tight and fast steering responsiveness, broad sweet spot and unhooked feel. New-school freestyle riders will be blown away by the improvements in stability, power delivery and usability in all of the medium TS sizes. Hooked or unhooked they are ready to throw down. The 15m and 17m TS remain at the pinnacle of refined aerodynamic engineering, delivering maximum light wind performance and an unfair racing advantage.

This kite was used for demos twice (about an hour each). It's as good as new.

About Ocean rodeo VENTURI TECHNOLOGY
Translates to bigger, more floaty boosts and a more forgiving, efficient kite that generates even more power.
Back flying in light, gusty wind is a thing of the past, and experts can unhook without having to depower the kite first!
Non Vented Kite
As you increase pressure on the trailing edge of the kite (sheeting in) turbulence is created on the trailing edge, ultimately stalling the kite. (Symptoms include back fling or loss of steering control, especially in light winds or while riding unhooked.
Vented Kite
As you increase pressure on the trailing edged of the kite (sheeting in), the vents open on the trailing edge allowing clean aire to flow from the underside of the kite to the top side trailing edge. This reduces turbulence and the chance of back flying or loss of steering while the kite is over sheeted. (Improved light wind performance and steering control when riding unhooked.)

The Taboo range represents a new concept in building the ultimate quiver of high performance kites.

Each size of the Taboo is uniquely engineered to optimize performance for specific riding conditions. Every aspect of design, shaping, material selection and construction has been tested and selected to create the ultimate ride in every kite size.

The Taboo delivers an unprecedented experience for hardcore riders who long to push beyond the limits of their current quiver. Ranging from 4m to 17m, there is a Taboo for all wind speeds and all advanced riding styles. Each size in the range blends a different balance of 'control', 'power' and ‘flow’ allowing you to completely reinvent your riding game.

Unhooked big-wave riders and Wakestyle enthusiasts will find that the smallest Taboos offer the perfect blend of tight and fast steering responsiveness, light bar pressure and unhooked control, allowing them to express their style like never before.

New-school riders in the hunt for eye-popping kite-loops will be blown away by the uncompromising power delivery and handling from the mid-sized Taboos. Hooked or unhooked the Taboo remains rock solid stable to the limits of its wind range.

For course racing and lightwind conditions, the largest Taboos are the most aerodynamically refined kites we've ever made. Every gram of spare has been trimmed back to deliver maximum lightwind performance and racing advantage.

With a size range of 4m, 5.5.m 7m, 8m, 9m, 10m 12m, 14m, 15m and 17m there is a Taboo for your every need. If you want to reach the outer limits of performance, it's time that you flew the Taboo.

HOOKED-IN SURFING

The first two generations of Kahoonas were praised for their surprising hang-time and great low end power. In this third generation, we’ve been able to extract additional high wind stability and turning speed, while reducing bar pressure. To do so, the Kahoona v3 is made with new, specially developed high performance materials and improved profiling which have energized its performance.

The Kahoona V3 allows you to perform the latest unhooked new school tricks. The effortless re-launch motivates you to learn new moves and gives supreme confidence to wave riders who simply have to be able to re-launch their kites before the next set comes in… it’s the perfect partner to use with any of our surfboards.

KAHOONA V3: Advanced progression

	Delta Canopy: The Delta canopy design of the Kahoona allows for a unique combination of exceptional low end power, high depower and maximum stability.

Our new 'Fit-Block' Pad connection system takes the strain out of fitting straps to your new board. A new composite reinforced connection block hooks onto each end of your straps and makes fitting your straps a cinch; no more crossed threads or loose straps ever again.

PLEASE NOTE! VERY IMPORTANT! ACHTUNG, BABY! THIS AFFECTS YOU ... YES, YOU, ESPECIALLY YOU, SO READ THE BELOW PART CAREFULLY, BECAUSE BEST WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE TO YOUR BOARD IF YOU MIX THIS UP:

After the first run of 2010 Sparks (sizes 130, 135, 140, easily identifiable by a red rail), board inserts were changed from Imperial to Metric. All Best Boards going forward will come with Metric Inserts.

As a result, our 2010 Footstraps will soon become equipped with Metric screws (as imperial production is phased out), so be aware that there may be some overlap.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT, if you are ordering foot straps for ANY OLD MODEL BEST BOARD, that you indicate to your sales rep, or order-taker, or on your order, that you will need IMPERIAL SCREWS.

DISCLAIMER: WARNING!!! If you attempt to use Metric screws on Imperial insert boards (or vice versa) you'll strip out the threads. Best is NOT RESPONSIBLE for damage to threads through the use of incorrect screws.

The following Best Boards have Imperial Inserts:

- 08 or 09 Spark, any year Aroona, Ouija, Pro, Pro LTD, Drive

- the first run of 2010 Sparks, identifiable by their red rails (sizes 130, 135, 140)

The following boards have Metric Inserts:

- the second run of 2010 Sparks and all Sparks going forward, All size 124 Sparks (identifiable by matching rail colors). Additionally, these board have the words "Use metric screws only on all inserts" printed between each footstrap insert.

- all Balance Boards and Armada Boards

- any Best board from 2010 and on (except for red-rail 2010 Sparks).

The transition was made to conform to industry standards. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Best's all-new Tri-fin Waveboards will help you make your wave riding as much fun as possible. Designed to work in a variety of different conditions, the 2010 waveboards are both shaped with a subtle bottom concave to help balance fin drive and rail bite, allowing you to maximize edge-to-edge control for harder, tighter carving.

Seamlessly constructed with a lightweight EPS core, the 5’6 Shortstick and 5’11 Spacekraft both benefit from Tactical Glass reinforcements that provide ding resistance to the upper deck and rails. Center line inserts give you the option of riding the board strapped for more control in heavy conditions or riding strapless for a purer surf feel.

A high-gloss UV-resistant surface finish that sheds water for reduced drag finishes off each board, providing you with a durable finish that will last and last. With the proven durability of our production board designs, blended with the ride you’d expect from your favorite pure-surf short board shaper, the 5’11 Spacekraft and 5’6 Shortstick deliver.

The Shortstick and Spacekraft surfboards are intended for strapless riding. They come with high performance fins using the FCS attachment system and fitted rear deck-pad. A front deck-pad is included in the package for riders who wish to fit this and their own choice of straps for strapped riding.

The 5’6 Shortstick is more of an all-round board for everyday sloppy-choppy conditions and lighter riders. A thinner Progressive Rail helps reduce bounce in choppy conditions, while the Swallow Tail is perfectly suited to work in waves up to head high. A touch of Fish in the board outline and extending the waist to the front foot helps maximize stability and low wind ability, allowing you to ride a smaller more responsive kite and make the most of every strapless session.

The 5’11 Spacekraft is shaped like a mini gun, flowing into a rounded pin-tail. Designed for heavy waves, reef breaks and barreling beach breaks the Spacekraft will work in anything from waist high and beyond, having a little more volume underfoot and a fuller progressive rail it also has great appeal for heavier riders who want a lighter wind board.
