Kite Summary
Buy  £185


A great low wind companion to the Standard.

The Trident Light has been designed and balanced with all the feel and ability of the Standard,
but with a unique feel that makes it better than just a lighter version of 'big brother'.

  • Easy multi-wrap yoyos for such a light kite and Roll Bars to improve success rate.
  • Yoyo stoppers are equipped with a slip-catch. If a line tries to slip off of the Roll Bar after a trick input, the catch will prevent this.
  • Ripstop leading-edge and minimal trailing-edge reinforcement keeps the weight down.
  • The leading-edge material covers socket and yoyo stopper cut outs to eliminate line snags. All are internally reinforced.
  • Adjustable leech line.
  • Non-snag, 3-piece nose construction.
  • Lower spreader ferrule is easily removed during spar replacement. No gluing necessary.
  • Exposed stitching protected by tough 'Moonie Tape', preventing failure due to spine-rubbing.
  • Removable wing tips, and a 2-piece spine enable the kite to be packed down to less than 90cm.
  • Versatile sail graphic that looks fantastic and contains many themes and colouring preferances.

The Trident Light should be your second choice.
It is designed and balanced for those low wind days, but doesn't compromise on tricks.

Superb balance and a unique feel make it very addictive!
