Flexifoil Aaron Hadlow Pro 2008

The Flexifoil HadlowPro was designed and built for the world’s best freestyle rider, Aaron Hadlow. The development of this kite has been relentless to meet the demands of his new-school style of technical, competition-level riding. While most other brands have closed their C-shape product lines, we have continued to innovate in this important, performance-led field. The result of Flexifoil's technical brilliance and Aaron’s extreme ability and determination has been absolute domination of the PKRA World Championship for the last four years.

The HadlowPro’s development was pushed by the fact that Aaron is one of the most progressive riders around. His style is constantly changing and evolving and as such this kite is a way into his current style of mega-loops and powered, tweaked, wake-style moves. These cutting-edge moves are made possible due to a super-fast turn-rate and a canopy that delivers power all the way through the turn – you come in hot, but you won’t get dropped! Technically sublime and freakishly optimised, the HadlowPro is the current pinnacle of kites for riders who have the determination to not only want to ride like Aaron, but want to be better than him.

Bar setup comes in two different flavours, a 5-line (default) and the HadlowPro 4-line setup* – the configuration that Aaron uses day to day.

Aaron Hadlow Pro 2008 Main Features :-

Performance Features:

Ultra Thin Leading Edge Tube Increases the speed through the window and therefore the manoeuvrability of the kite.

Altered Strut Pattern The struts have all moved towards the tip of the kite. This gives the kite a more driving turn by keeping the first two sail panels near the wingtip stiff, ensuring that the load from steering the bar is transferred into twisting the kite, rather than causing any localised deformation.

New Aerofoil Shape The new centre section of the kite ensures the kite drives all the way through the turn and produces a constant pull which is required for predictable megaloops and standard kiteloops.

Supported Leading Edge Tube Whether in HadlowPro 4-line mode or the standard 5-line mode, the ultra-thin kite LE is supported in the centre section by two lines. This helps to maintain the correct LE shape and increase kite power production. When in 4-line mode the effect is even more pronounced.

The two four metre extensions are attached to the front lines which means the tow point of the kite is less effected when the kite is loaded up, thereby keeping the grunt in the kite which is required for wakestyle moves.

Large Wingtips These increase the turn-rate of the HadlowPro. This works in combination with the new aerofoil providing a huge turning area.
