Description

The PLKB Swell is the ultimate wave kite with a large wind range and a intuitive feeling. A kite that can drift perfectly in the edge of the wind, but with a pull on the bar, it can give you loads of power, exactly if you want it. With a playground like the ocean, what better companion than the Swell to explore it? Get going and never stop.

The new Swell’s profile was upgraded to create a better air flow making it faster and extremely stable, also in stormy conditions. We changed the bridle setup to support the LE better, making the Swell more responsive and gives it a solid feel. The new profile and Responsive Leading edge increases low and high end performance.

A kite that excels in all conditions, good or bad; as we believe a kite should not be limited to performing in perfect wind and waves only. The balanced Hybrid/SLE shape of the Swell is designed to be stable and offers the precise and responsive handling that both wave chargers and free riders demand. Its lightweight 3-Strut frame offers maximum stability and slack line drift when you want to focus on surfing the wave. Its quick acceleration and deceleration give you power when you need it and the kite’s highly stable drift capabilities let you focus on your ride rather than your kite. The shape allows for a super speedy water relaunch which is a must when riding more serious sized surf or when you’re dialling in that new trick.

As we like our kiting experience to be rewarding every time we go out we built the Swell to have an impressive boost and lift, making it easy to bust out some moves on your Twintip. Its smooth and predictable handling, stability, depower ability and controllable lift give the rider a feeling of total confidence right from the first launch.

Should you decide to throw a loop, the Swell will definitely surprise you. You will get hooked to its speed and find yourself pushing the envelope. The Swell’s playful handling makes it a fun kite all around. It’s a kite that will give you the confidence to explore new avenues in twintip freeriding and strapless freestyle.

Rolling sets, chop or flat, Directional or Twintip, straps or no straps. Rediscover how much fun and addictive your favourite sport can be with the right gear.

Precise and Responsive:

Quick through the turns, it can be positioned exactly where you need it when shredding waves or loading up for a jump. Even completely depowered the kite maintains its responsiveness, allowing you to quickly power up when you need to get past that close out section or to get over that big set to catch your next wave. The Swell’s responsiveness and smooth power make it easy to pop some impressive jumps.

Exceptional Wind Range:

Thanks to great low end power, without sacrificing any of the top end, you will be able to get going earlier and stay out longer. Let the Swell surprise you with its large useable wind range, allowing you to work it during lulls and to always enjoy waves when the wind picks up.

Maximum Stability and Drift:

The kite's perfect weight distribution and balance give the Swell the stability it needs to drift when the lines go slack on the wave or during a trick, giving you time to focus on your riding instead of worrying about the kite. Its quick acceleration and deceleration give you power when you call for it and the kite’s highly stable drift capabilities let you focus on enjoying and improving your riding.

Light and Responsive Bar Pressure:

The bar feels truly connected to the kite making it the perfect link between yourself, kite, wind and waves. It’s easy on the arms and joints because you work with it rather than against it, while still remaining very responsive and intuitive, letting you know where it is at all times. Even after hours on the water your arms and hands will not feel heavy and will be ready for more.

Features

Technology

Tri-Flow:

If you look closely at the canopy on the leading edge, you will see multiple triangular shaped panels. These are called TriFlow and create a smooth and clean transition between the panels.

By using this technology, the canopy segments attached to the Leading edge are now able to curve both vertically and horizontally, limiting all creases from happening on the canopy closer to the leading edge.

TriFlow creates an extremely smooth surface and clean airflow over the canopy, resulting in more stability and a better overall performance of the kite. TriFlow makes the Escape even more stable so that you can focus on jumping and boosting and riding to the max.

3-Strut Hybrid SLE:

The Swell’s unique shape gives it an amazing range, fast and easy relaunch and awesome drifting ability, even in the worst onshore conditions.

The balanced Hybrid/SLE shape of the Swell is designed to be stable and offers the precise and responsive handling that both wave chargers and free riders demand.

Its lightweight 3-Strut frame offers maximum stability and slack line drift when you want to focus on surfing the wave. The shape allows for a super speedy water relaunch which is a must when riding more serious sized surf or when you’re dialling in that new trick.

3-Point Bridle:

The bridle system gives the kite a huge and progressive depower range. This makes even the worst conditions a lot easier to handle.

The low friction rings have no moving parts and are very small, so you can be confident that you won’t get any jams or snags with you lines.

Trailing Edge Reinforcements:

The trailing edge is reinforced with a double layer of teijin Technoforce T9600 cloth combined with Bisonyl reinforcements; this results in an extremely durable yet lightweight solution.

This is perfect if you’re looking for a school kite: the reinforcements will make sure that you can use the kite on land as much as you need to without worrying of sand, shells or rocks damaging the wing.

Kook-Proof:

The front and back line connections have been colour coded to allow you to easily and quickly set up the kite, and immediately notice if they haven’t Colour-coded, front and back line connections.

The bridle loops are colour coded and 'knot to loop' to help kiters get their kite in the air safely.

Multiple Tip Settings:

The Swell has multiple tip settings on the wingtips giving the rider full control over how they want the kite to fly.

It can be set up with super light bar pressure or hard direct feedback for those days when you are in the barrel and need to feel every nuance of the kite.

Fits All Valve:

PLKB kites are equipped with a ‘fit-all-valve’ for easy inflation. The bayonet fitting fits all pumps and the large valve opening makes inflation a breeze.

You won’t have to spend hours and hours looking for a pump with the right connection, and will be out on the water in no time.

Double Stitched Leading Edge:

Multiple reinforcements improve durability. The leading edge and struts are built with the most durable Dacron. The entire span of the leading edge has been reinforced along the seam with double stitches to protect it from getting damaged when crashing or getting a pounding by waves, making it hands down one of the toughest kites on the market.

All the bridle attachment points are reinforced with Dacron patches that are stitched on the inside of the leading edge so, even if all the power is channelled through one bridle point, the kite will not get damaged.
