Technical Features
1-Strut L.E.I. Construction
The INDIE is a 1-strut L.E.I. kite with a deep profile and low aspect ratio. Its minimalistic DFM build saves up to 34 % weight in sizes 15/13/11 and 20 % in sizes 9/7.
Swept-Back Outline
The swept-back wingtips improve relaunch and enhance manoeuvrability. The canopy shape allows a natural twist that helps the kite come back up from the water.
2×4 Bridle System
A two-pulley, four-attachment-point bridle supports stability and improves the relaunch. Back-line adjustment offers hard or soft steering settings.
Double Free Flow
Two Free Flow hoses lead to the single strut for faster inflation and deflation (sizes 11, 13, 15, 17). The Teijin D2 canopy is reliable, UV-resistant and low-porosity.
Performance
Best Relaunch in the Line-Up
The INDIE has the most reliable relaunch of the entire Flysurfer LEI range. Its minimalistic construction and 2×4 bridle support both light-wind performance and effortless water start.
Steady, Linear Pull
The INDIE pulls constantly without generating significant power peaks. Linear power/depower delivery provides a steady feel and never unbalances the rider.
Outstanding Drift
Well balanced at the edge of the wind window with minimal fly-down, the INDIE drifts incredibly well – a key asset for wave and hydrofoil sessions.
Fast, Predictable Turning
Adapted cell count and aspect ratio increase usability and simplify steering during jumps and manoeuvres. Easy to fly even single-handed or fully depowered.
Who is the INDIE for
Freeride & Progression
The INDIE is a multi-purpose 1-strut kite for beginners through to professionals. Sublime handling, high manoeuvrability and reliable pull – a kite built to get you on the water.
Light Wind & Hydrofoil
Sizes 13, 15 and 17 m² push the boundaries of light-wind kiting. The deep profile and low weight make the INDIE an ideal choice for foil sessions in marginal conditions.
Wave
Excellent drift combined with the swept-back outline makes the INDIE a great wave companion in light to medium winds.
