Details

The Religion is the definition of a high performance wave strapless kite and continues to meet the needs of the rider with ease. At its Y27 edition the Religion has transformed together with the evolution of riding waves with a kite. There are not many kites out there that can drift like the Religion allowing you to ride the wave instead of being pulled by the kite.
The new Religion sits deeper in the window and provides immense power in the low end wind range. The huge depower will kill the harness pressure when bottom turning and lining up for a big vertical turn on the wave or for more control during your strapless freestyle maneuvers. You will immediately feel linked to the Religion and its impressive turning speed and reactivity.

FEATURES

Religion ultra rigid frame.
Front-line trim setting with two options: wave / freestyle-wave.
Quick Air Flow Valve, with special moulded protection cap and reduced dimensions.
Bridle anti-tangle device.
Diamond grid technology.
Wide tips for extra maneuverability.
All the kites are equipped with 2 pulleys to handle the strong gusty conditions, improve the stability and to increase the wind range.

LEADING EDGE REINFORCEMENTS

rrd-kite-details-1-edge-reinforcement-y25

Every panel of any inflatable structure, from the struts to the leading edge, is built with a special heavy duty stitching system. The stitching areas are internally reinforced with a strip of adhesive dacron (Insignia), creating a solid base for durability. Kevlar is then wrapped around every exposed LE Seam to provide further protection.

PU BRIDLE REINFORCEMENTS

rrd-kite-details-2-pu-briddle-reinforcement-y25

Bridle attachment points are reinforced with a soft PU external protection an and internal double adhesive dacron patch, to increase durability.

KEVLAR BRIDLE PADS

rrd-kite-details-3-kevlar-briddle-pad-y25

Kevlar reinforcement scuff pads located on the wear points of the leading edge protecting the Dacron from constant abrasion where the bridles make contact with the leading edge.

QUICK AIRFLOW VALVE

A singular point, one way, air flow valve, inflation and deflation system with a special moulded protection cap.This new valve has a smaller diameter and pliable base that allows the perfect leading edge shape and adds to the lifespan of the kite.

ONE PUMP CLIPS

One pump hose clamps that prevent unwanted airflow between struts and leading edge. Each clamp is covered with neoprene to prevent wear and damage to the kite.

CNC LASER CUT GRAPHIC PANELS

Our bold graphics are designed with CNC laser cut panels made with canopy fabric firstly glued and then triplestitched together. This way we can avoid massive screen printining on the kite, reducing it’s deteriorating effect and making each graphic panel effectively a reinforcement on the kite body it’self.
An RRD exclusive design feature now copied by some other kite brands.

MULTI-POINT LINE SETTINGS

Multiple points of connection provide a multitude of adjustments to the flying characteristics of the kite such as depower, bar pressure, turning speed, and turning radius. These changes affect jumping, kite loops, slack, drift, and water relaunch.

BRIDLE ANTI-TANGLE DEVICE

A small batten that connects from the trailing edge to the leading edge that prevents the bridles from wrapping around the wingtip during launching or water relaunching. It also allows for storage of the bridles when packing the equipment after a session.

45° CROSSED FABRICS LE/STRUT REINFORCEMENTS

rrd-kite-details-9-crossed-fabric-reinforcements-y25

In correspondence of each strut and it’s connection point onto the leading edge, we have created a specific 45° crossed fibers double ripstop reinforcement that spreads the load of the strut onto the body of the kite during hard crashes, drastically reducing the potential canopy breakage of the kite.

TECHNO FORCE™ DOUBLE RIPSTOP

rrd-kite-details-10-techno-force-double-pitstop-y25

Techno Force™ is a high density fabric with a tear stopping structure that is constructed with a high tensioning double polyester yarn. This material does not only add to the strength and longevity of our kites, but it also improves the stability and the flying characteristics without adding weight.

UV RESISTANT PU STRUT HOSE AND FITTINGS

rrd-kite-details-11-uv-resistant-hose-y25

We use UV resistant PU strut hoses and fittings on the entire range of kites. This material has been tested against four years of sun and salt to ensure that it is durable and will increase the longevity of our equipment.

EXTRA STRUT REINFORCEMENTS

All struts are reinforced with Kevlar stitched to the ends which reduce abrasion and the new design also prevents sand from getting into the kite. The middle strut includes Kevlar and an additional layer of Dacron because it suffers the most on impacts.

RADIAL REINFORCEMENTS

Radial Canopy reinforcements around the trailing edge of the kite, are positioned in a way that intersects the Techno Force Double Ripstop. This not only increases strength and durability on sensitive areas but also compliments the torsion placed on the kite, thus improving the overall flying characteristics.

CTB CONSTANT TENSION BACKLINES

We have an elastic rope connected to the pigtails of the backlines that stretches up to around 20cm, this makes sure that your backlines are always slightly under tension when you depower the kite due to the slight delay it creates. This feature makes you able to always feel where the kite is and prevents the kite from frontstalling when you suddenly let go of the bar.

EXTERNAL SCUFF PROTECTORS

Additional reinforcements on all scuff points strengthened with branded, EVA reinforcements to extend the life and durability of the kite. This EVA is then encased in Insignia secured by a double stitch that adds to the durability of high stress points.
