Don’t mess with success. The 2009 Torch is built on the hugely successful 2008 design, which has been praised by magazines and riders around the world as the best C-kite ever made.

The new Smart Paneling in the wing tips increases the control of turn completion and improves depower smoothness. This provides all the advantages of a power C-kite with the depower range approaching that of an SLE.

The flying characteristics are unmatched. Never before has a kite had this amazing combination of fast turning and perfect pull during turns, while maintaining a very friendly overall riding feel. The 2009 Torch targets intermediate to professional kiters who demand the greatest possible hooked-in and unhooked performance from a power C-kite.

Combined with the 2009 Shift System, the Torch returns to defend its worldwide test winning status and remains the most technically perfect performance C-kite in existence.
