Now on its 6th year of Research and Development, the SBow’s reputation speaks for itself. Designed to fulfill the expectations and ambitions of our most passionate clients, we have optimized the SBow using feedback from our pros and numerous kite schools.

With the endless possibilities for all disciplines and conditions, the SBow remains a favorite for wave riders as well as beginners.

This year we gave the SBow a more athletic response by enhancing the kite's predictability when driven hard. The highly efficient profile offers tremendous power without penalizing the ability to fully depower at any given time; this brings unrestricted agility at higher speeds. We also gave the SBOW a one-pump system and reinforced the Leading and Trailing edges to maximize durability.

Stability, Reaction Rate and De-power

With its highly stable profile, the SBow 2011 is perfect to help riders progress without needing to concentrate too hard on their kite flying. Our new NeX bar is the perfect partner, helping you intuitively feel where the kite is positioned and if it needs power adjusting or quicker flying.

The smooth profile of the SBow 2011 enhances the bar feedback- wherever the bar is positioned on the centre line. This constant feel leads to better bearing, which means faster progression! It also allows you to spend more time concentrating on your board riding skills and building up to your tricks.

With its instant response and huge de-power range it will give you the confidence to enjoy riding at your own pace. The SBow 2011 has great de-power wherever the kite is positioned in the wind-window, which makes it an excellent kite for beginners as well as pro- wave riders.

Enhanced Profile

Due to its enhanced profile, the SBow 2011 is perfect as an all round kite and versatile for all-conditions kite.

Power consistency is optimized in order to stabilize kite behavior- especially in gusty winds. It also means that the kite is more forgiving if you make mistakes while flying.

The SBow 2011 enhanced profile, along with the smaller leading edge diameter, creates less drag so that riders can enjoy much easier upwind riding; and increased pop, so riders can do higher jumps and enjoy longer hang time sensations. The SBow 2011 makes progression during each session a very simple undertaking.

Safe and Easy Re-launch

Safety is our core principle at Starkites. With this in mind, the SBow 2011 re-launching capabilities are as simple as it gets: you just need to pull one of the leader lines a few centimeters, and it will re-launch the kite.
