What is a bow kite ?

Pro Span Extreme is the latest arc kites with a flatter span.

Bow kites, like C- kites are leading edge inflatable kites,but bow kites have a bridle on the leading edge. They can be identified by a flat, swept-back profile and concave trailing edge allowing the kite greater depower.

Bow kites have a wider wind range than C-kites, so two kite sizes (such 7m² and 10m²) could form an effective quiver for winds ranging from 10 to 30+ knots for a rider of 70- 8okg. This makes bow kites more suitable for beginners, however, they are also used by professionals.

Bow kites are safer than C-kites becuase the bigger de-power. The kites almost have a 100% depower which make the kite handle gusts better. Bow kites are also used by kite surfers for wave riding. Bow kites have a much flatter span than the C-kites and this will improve the kite in terms of raw power, efficiency, wind range, turning speed, handling,and most importantly de-power….

A smaller bow kite will give you the same power as a much bigger conventional C-kite.
