Zeeko News:
UDS Kit, Spitfire XLW and Alex Campet in Sardinia
The UDS Kit is available!
- zeeko.jpg (64.63 KiB) Viewed 2064 times
The UDS Kit comes in replacement of the classic Clamcleat trim system. It allows you to set up the kite power through a + or - handle, without having a dangling rope. The trimable stopper is adjustable, just like the trim levers. Small riders don't need to twist themselves to adjust kite power anymore.

XLW Spitfire in pre-order
The XLW wings for Xtra Light Wind have a larger surface than the standard wings, allowing the Spitfire to fly in lower wind conditions or at lower speeds. It is therefore ideal for beginners or riders wishing to foil in light wind. XLW wings are now in pre-order, with delivery starting on July 17th. You can benefit of a launch offer for the Spitfire with both standard and XLW wings at €1199 instead of €1399.

That's actually a pretty clever system. Wonder if it can slip out of reach say if you take a big fall and it pushes the far super far up.
But FUCKKK is that some shitty background music. And that's from someone who likes electric music and even some 8-bit electric.

Yes, it's super clever. It took me two watches to understand how it even works! Even if it slips out of reach you can essentially climb the centre lines by pulling them in, then pull the adjuster back down. Greg from BRM does that (and his niece) when the bar gets out of reach on his super long throw bars so it shouldn't be tough.

The QR looks to be bungee elastic free, tell me it is so!
A QR that doesn't rely on $0.03 of bungee has got to be good.

any more info on the XLW wings ? I just bought a spitfire and I'm wondering at my weight 228lbs and the wind conditions here 10mph if those wings are going to make a drastic improvement. Has anyone tried both ? Is it worth the extra $$$$ to get the XLW wings ?
