2 SUMMER 08 technology TECHNOLOGY The Superfly Series 9.0 and 5.5 FEATURES Combines kite boarding with wakeboarding and water skiing to create a new big-air experience behind the boat Provides longer duration jumps and softer, reduced-gravity landings Rider controls the kite flight and is in control throughout the ride Designed for solid intermediate to advanced riders With more time in the air, riders can invent new tricks never before possible The Superfly 9.0 and 5.5 packages come complete with everything you need to get started, including: the patent pending WakeKite carbon fiber handle, all necessary lines, the inflatable kite, pump w/psi gauge, User Manual and more. SAFETY Multiple safety features are designed into the Superfly 9.0 and 5.5 Shackle Release In boat, to release main towline from towboat Handle Release When rider lets go, the handle disconnects automatically from the towline Kite Line Releases If the kite is overloaded, the kite and kite lines will disconnect from the handle (and boat) as one or both kite line releases are triggered. Kite Line Releases are re-loadable. Kite is easy to get up and ride with, however, a strong learning curve prevents new riders from catching too much air Altering line lengths reduces air-catching ability Higher boat speeds (beyond recommended MPH) reduce edging and ability for jump approach RIDING & PULLING OPTIONS Innovative, inflatable kite design to be used with a wakeboard, combo/wakeskis, slalom water skis and more Kite can be pulled effectively with nearly any kind of boat, even a PWC! No tower is necessary and small wakes still provide a great opportunity for air! 03
