GEAR: THE REVOLUTIONARY PERFORMANCE OF OUR TEAM SERIES KITES!

A thinner structure in UPE Aramid and a double profile give the Ayto and Elips Aramid DP a level of performance completely new in the kite world!

The phenomenal leap in performance demonstrated in wing foiling through the use of lighter, stiffer and more resistant materials such as UPE Aramid, and the crazy accelerations of our double-profile wing, add-up to 10 years of development on this concept that leads to our new Big Air and Wave Riding kites from the Team Series collection.

The new construction and shape elements of the Ayto and Elips Aramid DP increase this feeling of nervousness, speed and control. These elements are:

An inflatable structure, leading edge and struts, in UPE Aramid;
A leading edge whose diameter is reduced by 15%;
A double profile which reduces turbulence for more glide;
Ultra-thin but stiff LDS tips for minimal drag and premium responsiveness.

The results of this development are far from being marginal, because all the essential qualities of a kite wing are boosted. It’s a real revolution whose benefits are fully expressed on the water. And to be convinced of this, just look at what Airton is currently doing in Tarifa with the Ayto Aramid DP.

“I had mind blowing sessions with the new Double Profile Ayto. Definitely the best kite I’ve ever tried, can’t put into words how amazing this new invention is.” Airton Cozzolino.

Structure in UPE Aramid

Our decades-long experience in kite making, along with all the advancements made in wing technology, have enabled us to push the performance of our kites to unprecedented levels.

With its ultra-light and rigid UPE Aramid structure, we were able to refine the diameters by almost 15%. The Ayto and Elips DP gain enormously in lightness and glide, with formidable accelerations in all phases of flight.

UPE Aramid combined with seams tested on the test bench and the water for years by our Team, offers the best in terms of lightness, rigidity and resistance for the inflatable structure.

A double profil kite

The Double Profile innovation is a revolution in terms of the flying quality of kites. Combining stability and speed, this new feature ensures undisturbed air flow. This idea, already mentioned in the kite literature back in 1984, tested many times, and publicly developed by GONG since 2015, offers our DP kites nearly 30% additional performance: they go faster, let you jump higher and longer, accelerate in less wind, are more stable at the zenith... they are better in all aspects of flight and control, even without being a kite expert.

Thin and responsive LDS tips

On this Team series model we have introduced an innovation coming from wing foiling: the LDS system: Low Drag System. It allows the diameter of the tips to be further refined for better glide.

This carbon batten system in the tip also boosts responsiveness for an unrivaled level of performance. The rear line acts on the carbon batten, which means the entire tip is connected to your bar, without deformation, without latency.

Choose our Perf Series or Team Series kites?

The shapes of the Ayto and the Elips, developed with our team riders Airton and Francesco, respectively multiple World and Italian Champion, are the ones to choose for Big Air and Wave Riding. In their classic Dacron structure under the Perf Series collection, you benefit from exceptional flight qualities for a construction that meets the highest standards on the market.

When it comes to the Team Series collection, which dresses the Ayto and the Elips of UPE Aramid, a double profile and LDS tips, experienced kitesurfers will benefit from even sharper shapes for considerable gains in responsiveness, precision and glide.

Like our UPE Aramid wings, all actions are more fluid, impactful and effective. It’s stunning from the first few meters. We can see it clearly in the sessions of our team riders, and tomorrow with your hands on the bar. This is the choice of those who want to go full send and boost sensations.
