Feel at one Borrowed from our North sailing heritage, Code Zero is the name of a sail born to go fast in light, shifty conditions. Like its namesake, we've engineered this kite for performance in very light air. The Code Zero is a light, fast and reactive single-strut performer with effortless one-handed control and efficient light wind power delivery. It flies and turns quickly - with excellent drift and manoeuvrability which makes it ideal for foiling and small surf. One of the lightest single-strut kites available, the Code Zero has a playful and agile feel with dynamic steering. Refined for weight savings, we’ve stripped back the kite’s construction to the essential. Using lighter N-Dure Dacron on the leading edge and strut for stiffness and durability, a double-canopy layer to reinforce the trailing edge and lighter-weight bladder material in every size. DuraLite wingtip chafe protectors provide abrasion resistance only where you need it, and small battens on the 9, 10 and 11m stabilize the canopy. Read More... FEATURES 1/13 Fast light wind performance Ideal for foil and wave riding, the Code Zero has excellent drift, manoeuvrability and extremely fast, reactive steering. Engineered for travelling at speeds so fast other kites couldn’t keep up, the Code Zero has excellent drift for foiling, where you travel at very high speeds downwind and it's important the kite goes along with you. 2/13 Newly revised bridle The redesigned bridle gives the kite a more rigid feel, with lighter bar pressure, more direct response and added stability. The bridlepoints are designed to sit on the intersegments, ensuring the bridle loads through a thicker part of the LE for a more direct/solid feel. Moving the bridle toward the outside of the kite also places less load through the centre of the kite, creating more stability and lighter bar pressure. 3/13 More direct steering The steering response is result of the reworked bridling. We’ve also increased the low end slightly – while maintaining responsiveness. 4/13 Smoother aerodynamics and minimal flutter We’ve optimised the angle of attack in the wingtip, making it more direct, and improved the tension in the trailing edge. The balanced geometry ensures the kite has minimal flutter, but maintains its upwind capability. Easy to fly, stable and evenly tensioned, the Code Zero won’t over-fly or front stall. The balanced geometry also makes flying one-handed a breeze. This means you can maintain your preferred stance when changing direction, without getting into an awkward position. 5/13 More sizes for 2024 We’ve added in three new sizes: 6m, 8m and 10m.
