Behaviour

Jumping: Very stable throughout the jump, offers a long hang time and average lift.

Riding: The Bowfort glides quickly and keeps its performance through wind holes enabling it to glide through the latter.

Bar Behaviour: The force necessary to hold and steer the kite is only average so that it turns quite quickly and reacts immediately one steering impulses. The large pressure point is right in the middle and there is a sizable power area with enough room before back stall occurs. The average turning speed gives lots of power during loops.

Windrange

To determine the appropriate kite size for a given wind speed? one has to take into account the weight and proficiency of the kiter.
