Airush Access 2011 OverviewPRODUCT OVERVIEW: A single experience, a momentary glance, a simple adjustment of perception, and it becomes clear; the new ACCESS Short Line Kite will get you hooked. With a revolutionary feel unlike anything else, the ACCESS achieves the impossible by allowing access to new waters, new sensations, and new ideas propelling every rider to a new level of consciousness. Taking design into a realm of unprecedented innovation and kite evolution, the ACCESS breaks barriers by introducing an entirely new kite category- Short Line Kiting. Exploring the territory of safer kiteboarding, increased access to the sport, and easier, faster learning, the SLK sets the stage for a brand new direction in an ever-growing, and ever-changing industry. With a kite that is fast and lively enough to power stroke on 9M lines, yet stable and predictable enough to allow for getting your first rides, whether on 12m or 6m lines, this versatile kite is bred for exploration. Not only does the ACCESS boast a massive profile to get you up and planning early. Suddenly, kiting on 12M, 9M, or even 6M lines is a completely new experience. A rider that is closer to his kite, is a rider enlightened.
Benefits of Short Lines: - Safer than longer lines - Less room required to launch and land - Reduced area of influence to other water users - Less damage to kite during crashes - Opens up new launch areas - More high end range
V3 Bridle System: Underlining the performance of the Access are the performance safety features incorporated into the V3 bridle system. This feature allows 100% depower and enables the kite to be steered and controllable when the kite is completely depowered. Utilizing a series of pulleys, the V3 bridle system allows complete 5-line depower on a 4-line bar. By permitting the front line tow points to rotate forward, the kite can pivot off the front lines into a flat, powerless position when the bar is released in an emergency situation. This feature is also extremely useful in self-landing situations and allows for the security of controlled self -landings, even in high wind conditions. Used in conjunction with the new SMART bar control system and BRAIN quick release system, the Access offers a performance ride with peace of mind.
