Technology
The Switch Prime Ram Air 2-line foils are designed to be very powerful for their size. The outline is semi-elliptic with a 90% projected area ratio for maximum lift per unit area. The profile is a proprietary high-lift asymmetric profile with a powerful cambered lower surface contour and slightly reflex trailing edge for pitch stability. The bridle is a four part alternate profile single cascade system that provides maximum support to the kite to preserve shape under high loads. Durability is insured by extensive internal profile reinforcing. An exclusive and innovative mesh trailing edge relieves pressure in nose down 'tomahawk' crashes to prevent bursting.
