HELI – Performance Freeride Kite with Big Air Ambition | 3-Strut L.E.I. Boost higher, loop cleaner, and improve with every stroke on the water Do you want to boost higher, loop cleaner and improve with every stroke on the water? The HELI is your performance freeride kite with a clear big air ambition. It gives you instant lift, clean ground pull and direct feedback at the bar — whether you're standing your first controlled jump or fine-tuning your next kiteloop. What Counts on the Water Is the Feel The HELI is stable in the wind window and reacts immediately to your steering impulses. This means precise turn-in, predictable draft build-up and consistent pop on take-off. The medium bar pressure gives you noticeable feedback without tiring your forearms. Gusts are not a risk, but an opportunity — you convert additional pressure into height and hangtime instead of fighting unstable load changes. When looping, the kite pulls through cleanly without throwing you off balance. The setup stays efficient during relaxed cruising too: strong low-end power ensures early planing and good height upwind. Effortless Relaunch, Every Time Crashes are part of the package — relaunching shouldn't be an issue. Thanks to the swept-back outline and coordinated bridle geometry, the HELI turns quickly to the side even in light winds. One pull on the steering line and the kite rises again in a controlled manner. This saves power and time — and gives you more runs per session. Proven 3-Strut L.E.I. Construction The HELI's construction is based on a proven 3-strut L.E.I. design. L.E.I. stands for "Leading Edge Inflatable" — the inflatable front tube ensures dimensional stability and direct power transmission. Three struts keep the profile compact while reducing overall weight. The result is an efficient mix of stability and agility, ideal for freeriding with power reserves at the top. Fast Setup with Free Flow² System The Free Flow² system significantly speeds up inflation and deflation. The main valve with bayonet adapter and push-push pin mechanism allows quick inflation and equally quick deflation. The struts are connected to the leading edge via a hose system and secured with clamps — practical to handle and reliable in use. Premium Materials for Durability The HELI's material is a robust combination of Dacron in load-bearing areas and Teijin D2 fabric in the canopy. Dacron provides structural rigidity on the front tube and struts, while the high-quality ripstop fabric offers dimensional stability and durability. This keeps the profile precise even under high loads — crucial for controlled big air sessions. Precision Steering with 5-Point Bridle The 5-point bridle with Ronstan pulleys distributes the load evenly and supports dynamic steering. You benefit from stability in the upper wind range and effortless relaunch. Fine-tune the length of the steering lines using the back main line adjuster with integrated knot ladder — adapt bar pressure and steering behavior precisely to your riding style, more direct for radical maneuvers or softer for long freeride strokes. ▶️ Watch the HELI in action
