Gone in Twenty Seconds!
Publish date: TBA
Ever dream of a world in which you could rig up and go in 15 to 20 seconds? Up until now that’s just what it’s been – a dream … But somebody had to press the fast forward button eventually and liberate kiters from the living hell of tangled control lines and slow rigging – something that’s often put newcomers off the best watersport going.
Thankfully the KiteKwik team have exploded onto the world market with the latest in cunning kiting kit. KITEKWIK is an ingenious patented control line management system that enables ultra quick rigging and is rapidly becoming the ’must have’ in kiting today. You’ll have noticed the time it takes to lay out your control lines. You pay them out from your handle, walk back up the lines to untangle them, then more often than not, take another walk up and down to make sure all is well before finally attaching them to your kite. This can take a good 7 to 10 minutes - sometimes longer if it all goes horribly wrong!
But thanks to KITEKWIK those days are over for good. KITEKWIK stores the control lines on individual hand-held spools that enable tangle-free rigging with no twists in 15 to 20 seconds. And only ONE walk from your handle to your kite. Oh yes – and no more disasters trying to get ready quickly while everyone else is on the water.
KITEKWIK is a light, compact bit of kit, salt water and sand friendly, which fits neatly in the kite manufacturer’s bag alongside your handle and control lines. One of KITEKWIK’s many plus points is the line storage, which commences from the kite end of the control lines, leaving your handle, de-power and chicken loop free to be cleaned and worked on if needed without having to stand in pools of line spaghetti. When the control lines are laid out on the beach, no frisbee chasing dog or other beach user will manage to tangle them while you’re pumping up your kite or getting ready, because they remain tightly secured to KITEKWIK via a simple cleat for easy release when needed. When changing kites the control lines can be simply cleated back onto KITEKWIK while you prepare your next kite. No hassle needed. Another helpful bonus for kiters is that KITEKWIK’s spools can be colour coded with the corresponding bridle attachments, reducing the chance of incorrect rigging and making life simple. It’s a no-brainer.
The KITEKWIK team will be attending many events this year around the UK and mainland Europe – but if you can’t wait that long, for more info and orders check out www.kitekwik.com. You’ll find a neat online demo that allows you to move, turn, and twist 3D images of KITEKWIK around and see it in action. So form an orderly queue for the newest must-have in kiting kit, and get on that water with style.
