It is possible to modify the Notus handling by adjusting the back bridle location




Connectors are fixed to modify the behavior of the
kite.

Moving forward the back bridle (connector 3), the kite settles down, ideal for riders in
progress and unhooked training : the bar pressure increases to have more support
and the over-sheeting is almost impossible.

Moving back the back bridle (connector 1), another kite appears : the bar pressure lightens, ideal for sportive navigation and waveriding. This is the favourite trimming of ZEEKO team for megaloops.

The 14m LW

A specific light wind kite, will be available in 2010. In 2009, it had already
acted as revolution for the navigation by light wind and had really proved its efficiency.
It will return at the beginning of 2010, delivered with 8m of lines extension, compatible
with the Zeeko bar.



ltnotus lt
5,5 - 7 - 9 - 12


freestyle and beginner kite

New this year in the gear ZEEKO, it is the consideration of the "beginners" or " in
progress " request.

A kite more adapted to learning.

Notus LT is like the young sister of the Notus. The general shape remains identical, between delta, bow and C-shape.

"LT" for LIGHT: only 4 inflatable struts, and no one-pump. It induces an easier starting than the Notus : the kite is lighter and has a more powerful profile.


To keep the same rigidity as Notus with only 4 struts. One fiber slat (replaceable) was added on the tips to avoid flapping during kite movements.

Bar feeling

The kite has more bar pressure than Notus. Piloting is less precise, but forgives bar mistakes and stays firm. The kite reacts slower, to fit learning conditions. Traction is more constant, ideal for learning low kite riding and unhooked tricks.
