Description

Connect Quick Release with intuitive one-action reloading
Quick and safe releases in a wide range of conditions. The patented Connect Quick Release (QR) system raises the bar for safety of the wing control system. The red QR handle has been ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in your hand for industry standard thrust release. All loaded and rolling surfaces feature highly polished, low-friction 316 stainless steel components. The larger diameter elastic band inside the QR helps reduce accidental release.

Larger Swivel Leash Pin Ring
The new oval-shaped leash pin ring has been lengthened for easier leash attachment and rotates to prevent your front line from twisting.

Protective PU-coated marker lines
To prevent abrasion of the lines by the exposed lines against your skin, we used color-coded PU covers. The covers also help them stay rigid and out of the way when the flight lines are not under tension.

Lightweight overmolded handle with Dyneema lines
The easy-to-reach molded handle doesn't hurt when it hits you. Made from nylon/EVA for strength with a soft touch textured handle. High quality Dyneema depower and finish line made in Germany with a special impregnation coating for abrasion resistance.

Low-friction custom spinning handle
Easily release your front lines.

Kook-resistant flying line connectors
Make sure you always set up your lines correctly. Designed to be exactly the same length so you can easily change the front (knotted end) and rear (lark's head loop) connectors to match most other manufacturers' kite configurations. Please familiarize yourself with the safety procedures and adjustment instructions described in your kite's user manual.

New omnidirectional handle with offset finger bar
Feel more connected. The Navigator is designed with a comfortable ergonomic handle for a natural grip and the offset finger bar is slightly oval, so you can feel when the control bar is oriented correctly. The color-coded handle, main tube and line retainer tabs give a nod to our sailing heritage, port (red) and starboard (green).

Tool-free Interloop System with LockGuard
Effortlessly switch between disciplines - no tools required. Push, turn, pull, lock and go. Buckles are made from optimized TPU material for flexibility and durability, with a stiffer freeride safety finger to prevent unexpected release. The flexible LockGuard safety ring prevents accidental release of your chickenloop.

Soft EVA bar ends with retractable line reels
The positive buoyancy bar ends with integrated line reel elastics are injection molded in one piece without seams for durable quality. The ends of the bar ensure that nothing hard comes in contact with you or your board, float the entire bar and also contain the hidden back line adjustment. Even the best quality lines shrink over time, so after a month we recommend checking that your lines are all even and dropping them down to the bottom knot. The change is simple and only takes a minute.

Adjustable Stud Trim System
Provides proven line adjustment when needed. The cleat base has been designed with a New Circular Geometry for consistent bar rotation, in other words, no binding when you do a megaloop of the bar. In overpowered conditions, the cleat allows you to shorten your forward lines and adjust your body position.

Durable covered main line with custom TPU tube
The symmetrical multi-boron planking tube allows the landing/flight line to pass smoothly regardless of orientation when deploying or reloading. Made from a patented material specially formulated for high abrasion flexible applications.

22m Adjustable Length Lines (12m + 10m)
The 22m lines have a 12m separation, which is far enough away that the bar moves to completely dust the larger wing when you stop. Remove the standard 10m top section from the flight line and the 12m lines are ideal for schools to teach with. 8m extensions and new 6m line extensions are available as accessories for tighter waves or kiteloops.

Premium Quick Release Leash
The Navigator control system comes with a premium freeride leash with a high load carabiner, soft neoprene cover and non-abrasive elastic strap. The new leash QR mechanism has been modified to ensure that the correct orientation is maintained once released for consistent and safe release and engagement.

Premium 100% Dyneema SK99 flying lines
Stronger, thinner profile, pre-stretched flying lines mean less parasitic drag and uncompromised direct performance. With 88m of flying lines in the air, you can really feel the difference a thinner line makes. Our state-of-the-art LIROS DC-401 Pro high load flying lines have extreme stretch resistance and minimal diameter (1.6 mm).
