Flexifoil Neutron

The Flexifoil Neutron is the kite for all levels of rider. It has a fast turn, snappy handling, and great boost. The all-round package gets you on the water with minimum fuss. Designed to be comfortable and fun to ride - whatever the weather conditions.

The Flexifoil Neutron design and hybrid shape delivers rock-solid stability, huge depower and predictable, responsive handling.

The end result is that the overall stability and useable wind range has been improved through detailed refinement of the aerodynamic elements of each size of the Flexifoil Neutron.

Performance Characteristics:
Simplicity of setup
The Flexifoil Neutron is an excellent all-rounder straight ‘out of the bag’, with no tuning required. Colour-coded lines and attachment points make the process of attaching your kite to the control bar very straight forward.

The ‘Single-Point Inflation System’ provides you with a quick and hassle free inflation of your kite even on the most windswept beaches.

Ease of use
The Flexifoil Neutron has excellent stability, is well behaved and very predictable. It will never drop out of the sky unexpectedly and is intuitive to fly under control throughout its wind range.

Jumping
The powerful profile together with moderate aspect ratio plan-form, provide a well balanced bar pressure which makes the kite forgiving and easy to feel – getting jumps dialled is simple. Within its normal wind range sending the kite results in big jumps with outstanding float.

Rock Solid and Stable
The front loaded aerofoil keeps the power in the front of the kite. In gusty conditions, it’s nose drives forward keeping the kite in the sky - this makes the Neutron very forgiving for beginners, and a confidence booster when flying in challenging conditions.

Direct and Fast Turning
The hybrid design delivers a progressive, predictable feel throughout the whole turn. The feedback you get though the bar enables you to know exactly what the kite is doing at all times, so you can concentrate on riding.

Freestyle, Freeride or Wave Riding
The kite works great for freestyle tricks due to it’s solid power. It has great depower and snappy turning making the kite great in the waves, and has numerous safety options available for the beginner and intermediate rider.

The Flexifoil Neutron delivers a great ride whether you’re into freestyle, freeride or wave-riding.

Simplicity through design
This hybrid design kite uses two high quality Riley Pulleys in the bridle to give great depower range. These have been designed to work in tough marine environments.

The kite is also fitted with the EZ-Pump system and the flying lines are colour-coded to offer a fast, easy and safe set-up straight ‘out of the bag’.

Setup Options, 20m or 25m / 4-line or 5-line
The standard set-up for the kite is with 4-line mode on 20m lines. This gives a great balance in keeping the kite close for good controllability, good speed on the water and excellent high end wind range.

To extend the low end wind range of the kite, or have a larger wind window Flexifoil also offer upgrade 5m line extenders, to take it to 25m lines.

The kite is configured so it can also be flown with a 5th line (5th-line pack available as an optional extra). When you are using the 5th line option, novices will be able to relaunch the kite with ease and have added confidence which the 5-line safety system offers.

Quality Built-In
The leading edge tube is made from Dimension Polyant 175gm Dacron. This is the most expensive Dacron on the market, and testing has shown it is more stable (lowest bias deformation), most durable (the resin keeps the fibres bonded together longer, and the yarns have highest breaking strength, so has the best tear strength).

By using this fabric it produces the most accurate Leading edge when compared to the designed shape, which helps keep the kites performance over its life time, (crashing in the water with inferior Dacron’s can lead to stretching of the fibres and deforming kites with reduced flight performance).

Safety System
The Flexifoil Neutron primary release is simple to use and dependable. The system kills 90% of the power in one fast action. The kite comes down at the edge of the window ready for relaunch.

This is a proven safety system which is used on all other Flexifoil water kites. Flexifoil believe that it’s the best system available on the market for ease of use , reliability, and ease of re-assembly – possible even when it’s underwater.

Neutron Bar system
The Flexfoil Neutron Bar is simple, effective and comfortable. You can trim the kite with ease whilst riding. The Bar pressure give great feedback without being too heavy on your arms making for a comfortable session.

The centre line and leader lines are all easily adjustable, meaning no matter your size you’ll be able to set the bar up to suit. A number of parts of the bar are also upgradable meaning that as your ability grows you can customise the bar to suit.

Relaunch
There are two possible relaunching scenarios on the Flexifoil Neutron, and in both cases it’s very simple and easy to get going again ...

1) The kite has landed at the edge of the window as a result of using the safety system or letting go of the bar. In this case, steer the kite off the water.

2) The kite has landed in the centre of the window (on its front) as a result of steering the kite in to the water. To relaunch simply swim towards the kite to roll it on its back, steer to the edge of the window and then steer off the water. This relaunch technique is the same as a conventional ‘C’ shape kite.

Wave riding (Tunable)
The Flexifoil Neutron won’t pull you off the wave and the improved profile makes it very difficult to stall. It drives through the turn keeping you powered and ahead of the whitewater.

Bar pressure (Tunable)
The bar pressure is nicely balanced to give good feedback without being too heavy on the arms.

Bar system (Tunable)
Simple, effective and comfortable. The control bar and depower system will allow you to trim the kite easily whilst riding - allowing you to concentrate on your kiting without any distractions.

Optional 5th Line Attachment:
For riders who prefer to ride using a 5th line system for added safety and self-landing, there is an optional 5th line available. The 5th line is to be used in conjunction with the bridle, not separately. The kite is supplied with the 5th-line top attachment.
