Technical Features
3-Strut L.E.I. Construction
The HELI is a 3-strut L.E.I. kite with a Dacron frame, D2 sail and 5-point bridle. Its light build delivers sporty freeride handling with big-air ambition at a fair price.
Free Flow² System
Bayonet closure with push-push mechanism for opening and closing, increased hose diameters on all strut connections, optimized clamps and improved valve positions.
Pulley-Assisted Bridle
5-point bridle system with Ronstan pulleys supports relaunch and turning. An integrated knot ladder on the back main lines lets you increase bar pressure and steering forces to taste.
Durable Material Mix
Market-proven premium Dacron and long-lasting Teijin D2 double-ripstop cloth. HELI is built for regular use across all conditions.
Performance
Direct Steering
Precise feedback and predictable behaviour. Medium to high bar forces provide constant feedback on where the kite sits in the wind window.
Big-Air Ambition
The HELI is the easiest kite to jump in the Flysurfer LEI line-up. Efficient depower, solid low-end and hangtime that keeps the rider in the air and makes landings easy.
Easy Relaunch
Beginner-friendly relaunch via a single steering line, with the option of a reverse relaunch using both steering lines. Reliable in gusty conditions.
Wide Wind Range
The HELI sits further forward in the wind window and efficiently converts gusts into acceleration. Balanced turning without stalling underlines its sporty character.
Who is the HELI for
Big Air
The HELI is our easiest kite to jump with and gives riders ultimate confidence. Train like a pro and beat your personal bests.
Performance Freeride
Like an extension of your arms, the HELI follows your instinct from the first touch. Feel immediately in sync with the kite – top-class all-round performance.
Progression
Steady pull, clear bar feedback, excellent low-end with strong upwind ability and easy relaunch – the HELI takes you further on your journey.
HELI is not recommended for radical short-line kiteloops (→ ERA²), unhooked tricks and big waves (→ STOKE4) or light-wind hydrofoiling (→ INDIE).
