The new Hornet has several refinements over the original. Besides the new color schemes, the bridles have been refined and reduced both in diameter and in complexity to minimize drag and reduce the chance of tangles. All bridle segments feature sewn loops. The redesigned storage bag is smart looking an functional with a very wide zipper opening for easy packing. Instead of the 2nd zipper compartment on the bag, a separate stuff sack with draw-string is included to hold accessories and other small gear.
Easy Handling
Because the Hornet II may be the first 4-line kite people fly, the kite has been developed to respond well to basic 2-line steering input. This gives you the ability to control the kite with ease while getting used to 4-line flying. Right from the start you will enjoy flying this kite, while slowly getting to know the benefits of a 4-line control.
Smooth but solid power
The Hornet II delivers solid power at the edge of the wind window. You can park the kite and fully concentrate on your buggy or board skills. However, when flying it across the wind window the power build-up is not too aggressive, which prevents you from being pulled right out of your buggy or off the board.
Extreme stability
The profiles used in the Hornet II give the kite the stability required in an all round entry-level kite. It is especially stable at the zenith or on the edge of the wind window. This allows you to focus on getting in a buggy or on a board, even in gusty conditions.
