Flysurfer Soul 3

The Flysurfer Soul 3 is all you need – stripped down to what gives you true fulfilment, a connection between you and nature that captures the essence of freedom.

Flysurfer's most versatile foil kite is known for its exceptional performance across various conditions by covering a wide wind range. Whether cruising on flat water, snowkiting, or boosting big airs, the Soul delivers responsive and versatile performance. It is highly efficient, generating ample power even in lighter winds, allowing you to stay out on the water longer and enjoy extended sessions. The kite offers precise and predictable feedback, giving you confidence in manoeuvering and performing tricks.

Confidence comes with safety, ease of control, and accessible performance at any time on any spot. One of the standout features of the Soul is its easy relaunch capability. This makes it suitable for all skill levels, including beginners who are learning the sport and riders who are transitioning to foil kites for the first time.

Flysurfer believe in a valuable product with thoughtful construction, long product cycles, and multiple maintenance tools. Their approach to a sustainable concept ensures you have a great time for many years because we have built the Soul to last.

Technology

Streamlined Lightweight Construction:

Constructed from state-of-the-art, lightweight materials to obtain an optimal power-to-weight ratio. The high-strength sail is a triple-ripstop 34 g/m² TX-Light, and the leading edge features a very durable 44 g/m² DLX+ fabric that protects against abrasion. All Soul components are designed for maximum performance on any terrain. The integrated automatic drainage system is hidden in the construction. Dirt, water, and small objects inside the kite slide automatically from the kite’s centre to the wing tips. They exit through two openings at the trailing edge of the wingtips. The streamlined construction ensures that the kite remains agile and highly manoeuverable while maintaining peak performance.

High Tensile Strength Bridle Line Configuration:

The bridle line configuration is crucial in managing stability, performance, and ease of control. A well-designed bridle system balances the forces exerted on the structure and precisely controls its behavior. Flysurfer use Dyneema for the A-line and brake and Kevlar lines for the B and C-lines. The lines are coated with a UV-resistant layer to prevent degradation due to UV exposure. This protective coating extends the lines’ lifespan and reduces wear and tear from sun exposure. These materials ensure that the lines maintain their length and strength over time, reducing the need for frequent adjustments or replacements.

Air Intake Line:

Lines have been stretched spanwise across all air inlets to ensure optimal airflow to the leading edge. The air inlet lines hold the rigid foils on the nose in position and prevent the inlets from deforming.

The kite fills quickly with air. You get control over the entire wingspan sooner when launching the foil kite.

The kite also flies further to the edge of the wind window when overpowered; the leading edge dents later, and the depower works more efficiently.

Chord Cut Billow:

The Chord Cut Billow – called CCB Cut for short – is an advanced aerodynamic feature designed to streamline airflow over the leading edge of our foil kites. It consists of a specialized precision cut that modifies the leading edge profile to facilitate smoother airflow. These cuts, known as “billows”, are strategically positioned to guide the airflow in a manner that reduces turbulence and mitigates the effects of surface irregularities. This ensures minimized drag, improved turning, and decreased back stall.

Performance Tuner:

The performance tuner is a knot ladder integrated into the C-pulley line to modify the kite’s camber. Moving the Z-main line affects the bar forces and the performance of the kite.

Shortening increases low-end power and steering/holding forces.

Lengthening does the opposite, decreasing brake line tension and steering/holding power.

Adjusting brake line settings for power delivery and depower allows you to optimize and unlock the kite’s maximum potential based on wind conditions and personal preferences.

Optimised Camber:

Flysurfer's knowledge from the Olympic Formula Kite Class is directly implemented in our freeride designs. The profile’s camber, or curvature, is refined to balance lift, drag, and control.

The reflex profile sections are essential for controlling and depowering a foil kite and keeping it stable at a low attack angle and full acceleration.

The counter-arching pushes the trailing edge down and prevents a front stall. Flysurfer ensure a smooth and predictable performance even at high speeds.
