Trident Benefits:

bulletThe Trident excels at pitch based tricks and incorporates Roll Bars* and a Yoyo Cage** making it THE kite to perform multi-wrap yoyos with the greatest of ease!
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.
bulletThe leading edge covers socket and yoyo stopper cut outs to eliminate line snags.
bulletA 'bullet-proof' trailing edge ensures that all those pitch tricks don't take their toll on the material or leech line.
bullet Leech line is adjustable.
bulletA spring loaded brace on the back of the kite strengthens the lower spreader during strong gusts and helps spring the kite back into shape.
bulletLower leading edge spar is standard length and easily replaced.
bullet Fittings on the lower spreader ends prevent snags and cutting of the lower sockets.
bulletDrainage hole in the wing tip piece helps to empty the leading edge spars during wet beach flying.
bulletGreat freestyle trick flying.  The Trident goes from trick combination to trick combination with great fluidity.
bulletVery easy Dead-Launches reduce wear and tear.
bulletNon-snag, 3-piece nose webbing with no hot sealing.
