Kitesurf Kite : Hybrid (Freestyle)
ARAWAK 2012
Star kites
on the Arawak, it became clear that
this kite's performance is above the
current standards. The grunt of this
kite and its explosive pop is almost
overwhelming atfirst. but the kite's
stability and direct feel allows any
rider to quickly gain solid control
and confidence.
The Arawak's powerful profile gives
the consistent pull of a C kite and
the power control of a Hybrid. This
Kite can work for any riding style
including wave riding, but where
the kite's performance really stands
out is in powerful unhooked
freestyle, big floaty airs, and
kiteloops. The Kite's canopy layout
prevents any flutter even when fully
depowered or in super tight turns.
The relaunch is quick and simple,
just pull on one steering line and
the kite will do the rest. Starkites
has paid dose attention to construc-
tion details in order to keep the kite
light and strong at the same time.
The bridles only have 3 points of
contact with the kite and have no
pulleys, giving it a very rigid feel. It
is easy to know where the kite is at
all times without even looking at it.
The bar pressure can easily be cus-
tomized to fit any rider's prefer-
ences.
No matter what level you are, the
Arawak will satisfy you and take you
to the next level while the hardcore
riders pushing the limits will be able
to exceed what is thought possible
in kiting.
