Features
- Construction – The streamlined leading edge accelerates in every gust and converts it into lift. Thanks to the low air resistance, the ERA cuts efficiently through the wind window at high flight and turning speeds and immediately implements every steering impulse. A 6-point scale supports the construction. It twists the kite in a targeted manner and automatically changes the angle of attack. Regardless of your position in the wind window, you maintain constant contact with the ERA, generate additional lift, and are caught after the kite loop. The control forces can be increased at the wingtip.
- Material – We stay true to the most trustworthy and tested materials on the market so you can feel secure in pushing the limits. Reducing the sail segments saves weight, allowing air to flow cleanly over the canopy and generating more lift. The lighter, the more reactive and faster the kite flies. The durable construction consists of Dacron and Teijin D2. It retains its shape over time and remains powerful even after intensive use.
- Pushing the boundaries of big air – Take yourself to unprecedented heights with the ERA. Its high aspect ratio design provides the perfect combination of lift and stability, allowing riders to launch themselves into the stratosphere. Whether you are a pro pushing the limits or a progression-focused rider who wants to set your personal best, you can trust the ERA to take you there. Enter a new ERA and reach extreme heights!
