The Atom is the resulting kite and is based on the massively successful Ion planform. This is an excellent kite which is not only very easy to use but also has enough performance for experienced riders. The Atom is manufactured from the same high-grade materials as the rest of Flexifoil’s kitesurf range.
How it rides ...
Jumping > The kites high lift design ensures effortless hangtime is not just for the pros but now attainable for all riders. If going big is your thing then you won’t be disappointed.
High End > The kite’s bridled design soaks up gusts far better than traditional C shaped kites which allows the kite to behave in high winds like a kite up to 2-3m smaller, so a 9m has the top end of a conventional 7m kites.
Low End > The Atom has a larger wingspan than traditional kites, which provides more power for a given area. Each size feels larger by up to 2m for light winds. So for example a 15m pulls like a 17m but turns like it was a 14m C shaped kite.
Turn Speed > The rear lines from the bar connect directly to the Atom’s rear tow points (no pulleys), making for a kite that is fast through turns and responds quickly to rider input. The kite is where you want it to be when you want it to be there.
Bar Pressure > The Atom responds to light pressure on the bar, but with enough force to give you adequate feedback - you know where the kite is at all times. Irrespective of their level, riders love to have this intuitive feel for where the kite is in the sky. It makes nailing all your tricks and landings simple.
Unhooking > Give the kite some depower on the trim, unhook and the kite is still very stable and turns quickly giving you masses of confidence to try new school moves or ride unhooked down the line on your surfboard.
Upwind Ability > The Atom points very high into the window and will send you on an upwind reach as soon as there is enough wind. In fact, downwinders have never been so much fun - making up ground on the Atom is truly effortless.
Re-launch > As with all Flexifoil Bow / SLE / Hybrid kites, the relaunch is very simple and user friendly, giving you more time on the water and less time swimming.
Safety > There are two forms of safety for the Atom depending on what bar / line setup you are using - a primary safety which releases the kite onto the front lines and a single line out which releases the kite onto the rear line.
