Kitesurfing Equipment Tuning, Foil Kites
As in any other sport tuning your equipment, to your needs or
for better performances, is essential. In this article you will
be able to read about tuning foil kites to your needs.
Usually, 3 line foils are having the brake lines attached to the
center of the bar and the front lines both attached to the ends
of the bar. In most cases, this leads to needing a power
steering line to attach each front line to its corresponding
trailing edge. So, the power steering line should have no
tension or slack while the kite flies straight overhead. The
kite will be turned "unluffable" no matter that there can be
quite gusty wind conditions. All this just by properly tuning
the power steering line. Remember that the power steering lines
are very similar to an "automatic" brake, that should stop the
kite in case it might overfly.
The Concept Air kites offer the possibility to be tuned by using
a VSS system , so that they would fly faster or slower. Just
like this type of kites, a foil can be also tuned to fly faster
or slower. The interesting thing to know is that the Concept Air
kite bridal is made up of three sections: the front bridal,
the
middle bridal and the trailing edge bridal. The trailing edge
bridals are connected to the brake lines , while the front and
the middle bridals are connected to the front lines. The
kitesurfer using such a kite type will be able to adjust the
angle of attack of the kite, by using the VSS system that has a
number of attachment knots. The kiter may simply shorten the
front bridal, decreasing the angle of attack and thus making the
kite fly faster, or, on the other hand, a kiter may lengthen the
front bridal and shorten the middle bridal at the same time, in
order to increase the angle of attack. This way, his kite will
fly slower, as it will have more pull.
The vendor you purchased your kite from should be able to tell
you how and when to tune your kite. If you need more information
contacting them would be a good idea.
