Hyperlink V4 ULTIMATE CROSSOVER KITE FOR SNOW AND WATER The Hyperlink is a true multi-purpose foil kite. Set it up in closed cell 4-line mode on the water, or convert it to open cell 5-line mode for the ultimate in safe and versatile handling on the snow. The V4 has been improved throughout, with lighter bar feeling and reduced aspect-ratio to make it faster and more nippy in its steering. For kiters who are used to the handling feel of an inflatable kite, the Hyperlink V4’s similar steering performance makes it the obvious choice when transitioning to using a foil kite. The Hyperlink V4 covers almost every aspect of kiting. Freeride, hydrofoil, boost and float, air style or unhooked as well as backcountry snow missions; it delivers for all! THE ULTIMATE CROSSOVER FOIL KITE FOR WATER AND SNOW Ideal first foil kite that also delivers versatile snowkite performance True cross-over use with easy handling and exceptional stability Convertible modes: closed cell 4-line / open cell 5-line Offers great value with a premium foil kite design HANDLING Lighter bar feel for less fatigue on long sessions Reduced aspect-ratio delivers faster, tighter and more reactive turning Quick and easy water relaunch in closed cell 4-line mode Safe, instant depower for self-landing on snow in open cell 5-line mode TRANSVERSE SAIL SHAPINGThe Leading Edge now features Transverse Sail Shaping creating a cleaner surface on the most important area of the aerofoil. The result is less turbulent airflow and longer skin adhesion, which positively effects the lift to drag ratio increasing overall performance. 4- LINE CLOSED CELL versus 5-LINE OPEN CELL Watch the how-to video to ensure you understand the correct method to change between 4-Line Closed Cell and 5-Line Open Cell modes.4-LINE CLOSED CELL MODEThe Hyperlink comes standard in 4-Line Closed Cell Mode, utilizing our Front Line Flag Out Release System. This is recommended for water use – it is a simple and effective flag out when the Quick Release is activated – it works the same way as our 4-line inflatable water kite range4 Line Closed Cell Mode is recommended when riding on water. Inflation is quick and smooth after pre-inflating the kite. If you are already an inflatable kite rider it will only take you one session to get to know the Hyperlink. For twin tip riders once the kite is in the air and powered up the similarities to an inflatable kite can be felt. It has progressive handling, generates smooth consistent power, great upwind performance and jumps well with long hang time and smooth landings. Ideal for Foil Board riding, the Hyperlink produces more power than an inflatable kite size per size - this means you can use a smaller more maneuverable kite to generate power. Maneuvers are made easy thanks to the stability and lift produced as the Hyperlink flies through the zenith – a great help when learning to tack and gybe giving you time and float to change board direction. In light winds the Hyperlink will fly above you unlike inflatable kites that have a tendency to fall out of the sky. This makes getting set up for starting stress free. 5-LINE OPEN CELL MODEThe optional 5-Line Internal Re-Ride Release System Conversion Kit is recommended for snow or land use. The Internal Re-Ride Release System de-powers the kite instantly without tangling, and falls to the ground to re-launch when ready. 5-Line Open Cell Mode is recommended when riding on snow or land. Similar inflation as in Closed Cell Mode, slightly quicker due to the valves being open. Snow and land riding are a blast, the easy inflation and Internal Re-Ride Release System means it can be taken anywhere safely. The Hyperlink combines the perfect balance of handling, pop and float to make the most of terrain and flats. It is easy to get big air on this machine!
