The 2011 Bull kites are universal kiteboarding machines intended to suit the needs of all riders out there. The 2011 kite line gathers two models. It may seem that two models are not enough to suit the demands of a wide range of riders, but the Bull kites are designed to suit multiple styles and riding skills. The ZigZag is an all round kite dedicated to freeride and waveriding enthusiasts. The kite packs plenty of power and it is fast, but it is also user friendly and easy to use. It is perfect for beginner and advanced riders alike.
The Delta Hybrid shape makes the ZigZag very aerodynamic and pushes it forward in the window. This way it is able to generate a constant and consistent pull and provide an extra boost when needed. The bar generates optimal pressure and a direct feel. The rider can control the kite with minimum effort and enjoy spectacular tricks or recreational cruises.
The Bull ZigZag is perfect for hooked and unhooked moves. It may be a wave and freeride kite, but it suits all other styles too. The kite is powered up through a single point inflations system and it feels very agile once launched. It has a progressive power delivery and it runs very smooth. The kite is perfect for big jumps and loops, as well as for calm and relaxing cruises. The new bridle geometry provides positive feedback at any command and allows the rider to perform any trick without worrying about losing control.
