Features
VIRON … start safe
FLYSURFER has revolutionised the entry into kitesport with this unique self-inflatable closed-foil kite concept. The design team met their brief to create a kite that is very intuitive to use, safe and a special tool for training in kiteschools. The VIRON3 allows beginners with the necessary basic knowledge, to develop their own experience in dealing with wind and water and to spend more time with their kite allowing them to progress faster.
The thick profile and lower aspect ratio of the wing decrease lift whilst the flattening of the leading edge reduces the lift/drag ratio. These design characteristics mean reduced acceleration within the power zone and therefore moderate power development to facilitate control. The spherical shape of the VIRON3 is perfect for relaunching, preventing quick leewards drifting. Our integrated B-Safe system reefs the kite in an emergency situation, therefor minimizing wing area and a resulting loss of power. Beginners benefit from these design features as they help to prevent common situations when learning, which can be very stressful.
At FLYSURFER we are convinced that we have designed the best product for kite lessons, so that the dream of kiting can be achieved successfully whilst always being fun.

The wind range chart is to be used as a point of reference. Actual use will vary depending on your weight, skill level, board size/type (twintip or hydrofoil) and wind conditions on water or land. When choosing a kite size, always use common sense and repeatedly choose a smaller size if you are not sure, especially when using the kite on land.
