Boom Skite - introducing the third generation winter kite
Boom Skite - täällä suomenkielinen versio

Boom Skite - third generation winter kite combining years of design experience with latest materials and technology. This makes Skite a high performance and safe winter kite designed for pure snowkiting fun !

Performance of Boom Skite is on a unique level due to the highly efficient aerodynamic wing design making kiting more enjoyable than ever. The kite keeps its shape well in all conditions from working hard in light winds to flying at extreme angles in high winds. The fast turning speed makes it easy to work in light winds and agile for tricks and kite loops when powered up. The rigid structure allows a uniquely low number of bridle lines and hence the airflow underneath makes the Skite more efficient and suitable for low wind conditions.

Safety has always been the determining factor in kite design for Boom kites. In the Skite several details are combined to allow maximum safety for both the rider and the bystanders. The safety line is made redundant by an easy to use leashless safety system which minimises the risk of entanglement and makes it easy to untwist the bar after spins or loops. For ground control the wing has safety valves to prevent damage to the kite in powered crashes and to ease the pull when landed on the leash. The de-powering system allows extremely large wind range as the Skite can be flown with front A lines only. This uniquely large angle of attack adjustment makes gust control extremely easy and efficient.

The more you ride with the Skite the more you appreciate it's precision made features!

Boom Skite features:
 

Easy to use
- Minimized bar pull helps you to comfortably ride longer
- Easily accessible de-powering system allows fast and easy adjustment
- Fast re-launch from the ground is simplified to just pulling a single brake handle or brake leader line.
- Ground control is very easy because of a very small amount of bridle lines and stabilised ground parking position
- Spinning bar allows un-spinning after twists reducing risk of line entanglement and makes the Skite especially suitable for kite loops and big air.
- Snow resistant intake mesh prevents snow going inside the kite during ground handling

Safety
- Wide wind range due to the wing design and extremely efficient de-powering system helps kite control in a gusty wind or overpowered conditions
- Pull minimised safety system helps in landing the kite in emergencies
- Secondary safety with brake line handles helps to kill the kite power under extreme conditions
- Pressure release valve to protect the wing and reduce the pull after ground impacts. Can also be used for cleaning up the kite internals. (see pic )
- Gradual internal pressure build-up helps to have a controlled launch without pre-inflation as the kite powers up smoothly and gradually in the air. (see pic )
- Leashless safety keeps the kite firmly attached to the harness without extra safety lines making boom rotations easy and reduces risk of entanglement. (see pic )
- Safety release at will
connected to the chicken loop helps controlling kite escapes to protect bystanders. (see pic )
- Additional safety leash can easily be attached for beginners (optionally available) or unhooked riding.

Performance
- Third generation aerodynamic wing design with reorganized inner build-up offers higher stability and high performance making riding more enjoyable
- Reduced drag bridle mean less lines, less hassles and less aerodynamic resistance. The kite can fly higher up in wind window and also providing better low wind performance. (see pic )
- Redesigned canopy curve and wing profile offer agile handling keeping the wing profile rigid through out fast turns and loops.
- Optimized internal pressure is achieved with strategically placed diagonals and internal vent holes
- Precision designed flap curve improves airflow on the wing surface increasing stability and performance (see: pic1, pic2)
