AIRUSH Ultra Team V5

Limited range arriving soon...

OVERVIEW:

• Team engineered lightweight design for foil, freeride & surf.
• Reduced diameter leading edge for maximum efficiency.
• Ho’okipa Ultra PE high pressure leading edge & Load Frame.

The Ultra Team features Ho’okipa, which is a material technology that allows the kite to find the optimal balance between responsiveness, lightweight, and long team performance.

Ho’okipa is made of Ultra PE fibers that make the leading edge 10x stronger and stiffer than traditional fabrics. The combination of our proven Single Strut Geometry, with the new narrow diameter high pressure leading edge and high-tension canopy is key; this is what allows the Ultra Team to fly forward in the window, creating the perfect balance for lightwind performance.

KITE PERSONALITY

The Ultra Team is a more responsive, faster, and lighter version of the Ultra reinforced with Ho’okipa Ultra PE material.

KITE TECHNOLOGY

• LOAD FRAME - The Airush Load Frame has been the key to setting the ultimate benchmark in durability without compromising on weight. Ultra-high modulus yarns carry the primary load of the canopy, preventing stretch, and increasing long-term performance. The Load Frame is further enhanced by WebTech which is featured in the areas traditionally occupied by Dacron. This enables us to minimize or completely remove the heavier fabric and utilize the ballistic high-modulus web fibers instead – increasing strength and minimizing weight.
• WEBTECH - WebTech minimizes or replaces the traditional Dacron reinforcement by channeling the broader loads into the Load Frame through a web ‘subframe’ of ultra-high molecular polyethylene (ultra-high modulus). This is featured in key areas such as the primary attachment points on the leading edge or the rear attachment points, while also being used to support structural components such as the center strut.
• HO'OKIPA - Developed in partnership with Challenge Sailcloth, this unique Ultra PE leading edge composite material is 25% lighter and 10x stronger than traditional fabrics. This allows for 50% higher pressure, creating increased stiffness combined with a thinner leading edge. The result is supercharged responsiveness coupled with sublime handling, and of course the long-term performance you expect from Airush.
  UHMWPE fibers (non-branded Dyneema® or Spectra®) are the lightest and strongest fibers commercially available, with a tensile strength 15x stronger than steel. UHWMPE is created by a gel-spun extrusion process which draws out extremely long chains of polyethylene, aligned along a molecular backbone. This alignment effectively transfers load through the fiber for high modulus and strength.
