CONTRA 1 STRUT 2022 Kite
PERFORMANCE LIGHTWIND / FREERIDE
SIZES: 3 / 4 / 5 / 7 / 9 / 11
Die 1-Strut-Version des Contra hat sich unter den Leichtwind-Freeride-Kites schnell einen Namen gemacht. Ein Schirm, der in keiner Range fehlen sollte.
Durch das Single-Strut-Design ist der Kite leichter und wendiger, so dass selbst kleine Größen ausreichen, um volles Foil-Potential zu genießen. Federleichte Kontrolle und überragende Drifteigenschaften ermöglichen niedrige Anstellwinkel beim Foilen, während die Spannung der Backlines auch bei Depower hohe Steuerimpulse liefert.
Egal, ob mit Twintip, Surfboard oder Foilboard – das neue Contra-Design bietet Leichtwind-Performance der Extraklasse.
1 Strut Hybrid design, Low drag wing tips, Draft forward profiles

KEY FEATURES
FEATHERLIGHT
The ultra lightweight 1-strut design shaves weight off.
MINIMALISTIC
Through intensive research and development the Contra 1S comes with one rear line attachment option. Simply put, this is the best possible option straight out of the bag.
EFFORTLESS RELAUNCH
Even in the lightest of wind conditions the Contra 1S gives you the confidence to try tricks knowing any mishaps won’t mean a swim in.
DRIFT
Superior drift characteristics allow for low angles of attack while on the foil. Rear line tension is carried through even when depowered.
LIGHTWIND OPTIMISATION
Designed with the main focus to be ridden in the threshold winds where most kites can’t perform.
AGILE AND NIMBLE
Single strut design allows the kite to twist and react like no other.

HIGH TENACITY DACRON
Our Dacron is specifically designed for inflated kite structures. The construction of this material is very warp orientated using ultra high tenacity yarns with an increased thread count to combat elongation in the warp direction under the high inflation pressures. Lower elongation make for a more accurate kite with less deformation while in flight.
NANO RIPSTOP CANOPY
A higher level of performance can only be achieved when the kite’s design properties are supported by a stable and reactive kite material. Nano Ripstop does just that.
PURE PROFILE PANELS
Strategically placed panels allow for a seamless and smooth airflow over the most important area of the flying surface, creating an efficient and true to design profile that no others can match.
