Urs Hungerbühler:

“ The keyword on this kite is usability. We built a kite which is very stable, provides constant power and has a very predictable flying characteristic. Because of this it is big fun to ride the Hatch. It is easy and you improve during every session...”

 

Details:

The RNEH (Radial Nose Easy Handling) profile in the center area provides a balanced ratio of power and easy handling. The profile provides medium drag, which makes the kite predictability and keeping it from stalling. It generages big lift and huge hangtime! The medium bar pressure gives you direct feedback from the bar, so you always know exactly where the kite is. Shaping characteristics are made for effortless relaunch capabilities. The Hatch gives a straight steering behavior and follows your commands without fail. The NACA 0018 profiles in the tip area allow for clean and fast steering. A very sportive kite that will boost any skill level!
