Featuring a sensory pivot turn for control and a huge depower range, the Carve gives you the confidence to focus on surfing - onshore, offshore and anything in between. Strong surf-freestyle characteristics help you perform strapless tricks and lofty jumps with ease, and enhanced down the line drift makes this versatile kite perfect for carving and tucking into a barrel. For 2022 we've further reduced the weight and improved the behavior of the kite. Our new Active Load Distribution Bridle system is fine-tuned for the most direct pivot steering possible and delivers a faster livelier feel, greater stability and wind range. The lighter weight surf-tough construction delivers improved static balance and light wind performance in surf and foil conditions. And we've introduced a new lighter weight bladder material in sizes 9m and above. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"m-height-480 uk-width-1-2@m uk-first-column\" id=\"highlight-feature-955\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"uk-width-1-1 uk-height-1-1 uk-flex uk-flex-middle\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"o-content-padding o-read-more-limiter\"\u003e\n\n \u003ch3\u003eNEW finely-tuned Active Load Distribution Bridle System\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Structurally designed so each tow point and cascade is individually controlled but interconnected as one unit, the new Carve is faster and livelier in the air and provides an extremely direct feel in both bar pressure and steering initiation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e NEW lighter weight surf-tough construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e For 2022 we've further reduced the weight of the kite for improved static balance and lightwind performance, without affecting the strength and durability.

The two-stage arc allows the smooth-curved efficient central region of the kite to produce power, while straighter wing tips provide a more dynamic steering response. As the arc shape becomes narrower the kite uses less of its projected area, giving it a smaller turning radius for tighter turns, and less pull or power in turns. The Carve, a narrower span kite, is fast in flight, with less power overall. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"transform: translateY(-45px);\" class=\"uk-grid-margin uk-first-column\" id=\"feature-959\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHighest quality low-drag, no-pulley bridle lines\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Highest quality spliced, pre-stretched bridle lines are pre-loaded and measured before cutting to improve accuracy and consistency.

Down the line drift is most important when the wind is onshore. The more offshore it gets, the more important it is for the kite to fly forward. The Carve's bridling ensures you're able to maintain the drift when you're sheeted in, the kite is responsive and goes down the line. But when it's offshore or you're riding overpowered, there's more reaction from the kite when you sheet out, and its ability to fly forward is greatly improved. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"transform: translateY(-68px);\" class=\"uk-grid-margin uk-first-column\" id=\"feature-185\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRefined aerodynamic profile transition panels\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe profile transition panels ensure that as the leading edge expands, tension from the elongation does not migrate into the canopy and a precise lateral profile shape is maintained as close to the leading edge as possible. This creates a smooth transition from the segmented leading edge to the curved canopy, so the profiles are more uniform throughout the entire wing. The panels reduce inconsistencies in the profile, resulting in a smoother, more efficient kite, with more aerodynamic airflow, drive and stability. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"transform: translateY(0px);\" class=\"uk-grid-margin\" id=\"feature-186\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFast-launching swept leading edge design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eAllows more area in the center of the kite for efficiency and makes the kite easy to roll off the water during critical relaunch in the surf. The Carve is not swept in the trailing edge like a bow kite, but it has a lot of curvature when viewed from the side, and the wingtips are not particularly wide. This puts a lot of the usable area in the center of the kite, rather than in the wing tip. So even though the Carve is lower aspect, it is still efficient for its size, and more importantly, the relaunch is super-quick. With less leading edge on the water it doesn't lay flat, so for fast relaunch in most cases you don't have to pull the rear line, simply rotate the bar. This really helps if you're riding waves and need to relaunch your kite quickly when a set is coming. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"transform: translateY(-135px);\" class=\"uk-grid-margin uk-first-column\" id=\"feature-187\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHigh buoyancy leading edge diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eFor a rigid, stable kite frame which requires less inflation pressure. The high volume of air in the leading edge ensures that the kite stays on top of the white water and is not easily crushed by the waves. The larger leading-edge diameter intentionally produces more drag and helps the kite sit deeper in the pocket. It also allows us to thin out the actual profile in the canopy itself. With less curve through the main body of the canopy and a larger leading-edge design, you end up with less canopy movement or deformation as you ride the kite at lower attack angles or sheeted out. The kite sits a little further back in the window, so that it will run with you as you steer towards it, rather than stop moving or flying forward and front stalling. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"transform: translateY(0px);\" class=\"uk-grid-margin\" id=\"feature-150\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDuraLite seam protection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eLightweight reinforcement to protect from chafing and abrasion along the struts to the leading edge.

We've maintained the linear power delivery, ensuring the kite is rock solid when it needs to be. Strapless freestyle riders can go higher with better hangtime, yet still have the control and manageability you need for jumps and tricks. Because the Carve has such impressive power and efficiency, we still recommend going a size smaller for wave riding. So, when everyone's on a 7m, you can pull out a 6m.

This has enabled us to focus the loading on the leading edge for the most direct pivot steering possible - limiting the amount of power that is produced so you generate less speed in your bottom turns and can ride closer to the pocket of the wave. With the new bridle the Carve flies faster. It also FEELS faster and livelier in the air because the bar pressure, steering impulse and pull from the harness are in harmony. The Carve provides an extremely direct feel in both bar pressure and steering initiation, with more intuitive feedback from the bar in both directions, so you'll always know where your kite is. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"transform: translateY(-180px);\" class=\"uk-grid-margin uk-first-column\" id=\"feature-1001\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNEW lighter weight surf-tough construction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eFor 2022 we've further reduced the weight of the kite for improved static balance and lightwind performance, without affecting the strength and durability.
