Technical features of the ESKIMO IV
Safety system with 5
th
line
Connected to the centre of the kite, the 5
th
line
allows a complete depower after having released
the main safety system (Quickrelease). Releasing
the safety system, transfers tension from all
bridles on to the 5
th
line. This makes the kite fold
in two with the wingtips flying back down wind and
“clapping hand” behind. The kite will totally
depower and remain on the ground without any
traction.
Wingtip sliding bridle
The connection points of the wingtip are free
sliding. This gives the kite a more responsive
and quicker turn.
Velcro on the trailing edge
A Velcro strap is placed in the middle of the kite, on
the trailing edge. Use this to avoid getting knots in
the bridles, this Velcro can fix the flying lines of the
ESKIMO IV before folding and packing it.
WARNING : carefully remove the lines out of the
Velcro and re-fasten the Velcro strap together before
flying the kite.
