Online Catalogue | Kites Water LEI
 Leading Edge Inflatable Kites Leading edge inflatable kites, known also as inflatables, LEI kites or C-kites, are typically made from ripstop nylon with a main inflatable plastic bladder that spans across the front edge of the kite with separate smaller bladders that are perpendicular to the main bladder to form the chord or foil of the kite. The inflated bladders give the kite its shape and also keep the kite floating once dropped in the water. LEIs are the most popular choice among most kitesurfers thanks to their quicker and more direct response to the rider's inputs, easy relaunchability once crashed into the water, and resilient nature. If an LEI kite hits the water/ground too hard or is subjected on water to substantial wave activity, bladders can burst or it can be torn apart.
The correct control bar for your kite is listed at the bottom of each page with kites on ie: Flexifoil Atom Kite , use the Flexifoil Atom bar. Please call or email us if you think a certain brand or year may not be useable with your specific kite and we will clarify it for you! If you are not sure then it is always best to go with the recommended bar for the kite! Control bars can also be found in the Accessories/Spares section also. We list the right lines for the right product on each kite catalogue page. Flying Lines can also be found in the Accessories/Spares section also. A safety hook knife is widely considered required equipment. The corrosion resistant stainless-steel blade is partially protected by a curved plastic hook. It can be used to cut entangled or snagged kite lines, or to release the kite if the safety release system fails. Some kitesurfing harnesses are equipped with a small pocket for the knife. You can find safety knives in the Accessories/Spares section! |
