Description:
The Alien is a moderate to high-wind trick kite for all-out freestyle fun. Strange-looking? Absolutely. Lots of fun? You bet. Just yank a line and it will trick like crazy and recover from almost anything. If you can start a lawn-mower, you can double-axel this kite! This innovative design gives a stable, effortless-to-stall, light-pulling kite with outrageous acrobatic capabilities. An angled, heat-treated aluminum fitting inside the leading edge reduces load on the wing spars in abusive groundwork and radical maneuvers. In strong winds, adjustable standoffs let you dial speed and pull so you can fly all day. Strategically placed solid carbon reinforcements (plugs) make the frame almost impossible to break, even in extreme conditions.
So when your Illusion starts to pull too hard and you're worried about those fancy sticks, loosen your tie, pull out your Alien, and rediscover the fun of flying in real wind. This one is my personal favorite in its class!
