Do you want to get the most out of kitesurfing? Do you want to pull off the biggest, best tricks and don’t really care what happens to your kite in the process? If you are a kitesurfer that cares more about doing tricks than the structural integrity of your kite, then the Eclipse Thruster is the best option for you. This is because the Eclipse Thruster can deliver competition level tricks and come out smelling like a rose. It is incredibly sturdy and can take whatever you will throw at it (hence the shark skin reinforcements and solid construction). The appealing part about the Eclipse Thruster is the fact that it combines all the exciting parts of C-kites with the latest technological improvements in order to come up with a high-flying bridled kite that will lift you high enough and pick up enough speed for you to try any trick you want. By keeping things simple the kite is easy to control and safe as well.

Wingtip

For greater turning speed the wing of the Eclipse Thruster has turtle and rabbit attachment points. For increased durability the wingtips have double Dacron reinforcements, Kevlar pulley guards and shark skin reinforcements.

Inflation

If you go for the standard inflation set up you will get a one-step, quick-pump system. The thing is that you could very easily remove the connecting tubes and fashion a multi-pump setup.

The Eclipse Thruster is twice as fast as other kites when it comes to deflation speed.

Why you should get the Eclipse Thruster:

• - This kite was designed with high-quality ultra performance in mind.
• - Easy to control and incredibly responsive.
• - Great for all kitesurfers regardless of their skill level.
• - Safe for beginners, great for tricks.
