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'.

 

 

Trident Benefits:

bulletEasy multi-wrap yoyos for such a light kite and Roll Bars* to improve success rate.
bulletRoll Bars* are fitted with a 'slip-catch'.  If a line tries to slip off of the Roll Bar after a 'pop' input, the slip-catch will save the trick and keep you flying.
bulletRipstop leading edge and minimal trailing edge reinforcement keeps the weight down.
bulletThe leading edge covers socket and yoyo stopper cut outs to eliminate line snags.
bulletAdjustable leech line.
bulletA spring loaded brace on the back of the kite strengthens the lower spreader during strong gusts or 'pumps' and helps spring the kite back into shape.
bulletLower leading edge spar is standard length and easily replaced.
bulletLeading edge and lower spreader ferrules are hollow carbon and not attached with glue, allowing for easier spar replacement.
bulletGreat freestyle trick flying.  From sweet 540's, Crazycopters and Yo-Fades, the Trident Light holds super-stable Fades, and Backspin Cascades with the greatest of ease.  In a Turtle, the Light multi-spins fantastically from one 'pop'!
bulletVery easy Dead-Launches reduce wear and tear.
bulletNon-snag, 3-piece nose webbing with no hot sealing.
bulletGuaranteed 'grin factor' included!
