Revolution POWER BLAST 4-8m

click to enlargeclick to enlarge
(New for 2005 - available in red, black, or blue)

Revolution expands into power kiting with a completely innovative design that contains features and benefits not available in any other power kite. This is real breakthrough technology.

Our Rev Power Blast 4~8m answers the traction needs of all power kite users including land, water, and snow riders. The Power Blast at 4 meters, has the equivalent power of a typical 8 meter foil kite. The power to size ratio is unsurpassed. The Power Blast provides traction on a hard surface in a wind range down to as low as 2 mph. To our knowledge, no other power kite can effectively function at such a low wind level. Essentially, with the Power Blast, you are never out of opportunity to enjoy your favorite power kiting activity. Not only does the Power Blast have the broadest effective wind range of any traction kite, it provides its’ power under your complete control.

With the Rev Power Blast it is not “all or nothing” when it comes to harnessing the power. Perhaps the most outstanding feature of the Power Blast is its ability to enable you to fly under complete control at all times. This means throttle control under any conditions, whereby you can dump all the power or only 80% of the power, or any fraction of the power to suit your situation. You have an infinite adjustment range to decelerate or accelerate on command. You are not controlled by the kite- you’re in charge at all times.

This infinite control of the Rev Power Blast gives you a basis of safety confidence unsurpassed by any other power/ traction kite. The Power Blast won’t pitch out when you find your kite flying directly overhead or behind. The Power Blast will commence a floating mode that turns into the wind, retightening the flying lines, thereby positively returning full control to you quickly.

Another amazing feature of the Power Blast is its’ ability to fly upwind with almost no drag. This provides significant advantages in a large number of competitive conditions. We don’t believe any other traction kite can match the Power Blast in this regard.

When you are ready to fly- your Power Blast is ready to go in a few short minutes. The ease of set-up and take down and the short amount of time required to do so, provides you far more time to enjoy your favorite power kiting activity. The entire process takes a maximum of 15 minutes.

This compact, light-weight Power Blast package is convenience personified. Very portable, easy to store, and ready whenever you have only a little time and a little wind, The Rev Power Blast 4~8m will maximize your power kiting enjoyment as well as providing you exceptional value for your traction power investment. This is an exceptional product. You need to get your hands on one right away!

2005 List Price: $799
2005 Sale Price: $695 (with AKA discount)
(no kite-only option--only sold as a complete package w/lineset & handles included)

Revolution POWER BLAST 2-4m

(new for 2004 - replaces 2003 Super Blast)

If you are a flyer who typically has light wind conditions (less than 8 mph) you can now have not only a kite that flies great in light winds, but also generates the power that really makes flying so exciting for adults. Imagine leaning back to maintain control of a kite in only 3 mph wind!

Another great quality of all Speed Series kites is the ability to dump virtually all the power with a quick “thumbs back” rotation. This is a perfect technique to use as you launch the POWER BLAST up through the wind window. The glide is also amazing! As you fly the POWER BLAST overhead you can turn the kite slightly to the side and pull it out of the air. The POWER BLAST falls into a stable glide as it floats around and heads downwind to re-tension the lines and regain controlled flight! This kite has it all! Light wind flying, power, speed, and of course, all the incredible Revolution moves including instantaneous stopping, hovers, and reverse flight.

If you are thinking about power kiting but not ready for the big step, here is the perfect solution. The BLAST and POWER BLAST 2-4 experience will give you all the power and ultimate control without the dangers of power kiting. Developing your skills on these kites will prepare you for any flying experience including 2 line, 4 line, and power kites.

This is our most popular beginner's package for a great quad-line experience. It's basically a Rev1.5 with scaled-down graphics and 3/4oz ripstop nylon to keep production cost lower. The classic four-line Revolution design is exemplified in the EXP model, great for a wide range of wind conditions. Talents include forward and reverse flight, propeller-like spins, and "brakes" allowing total speed control and the popular "dive-stop" maneuver.

All this possible flying the EXP with its economical rip-stop sail framed with Revolution's own Advantage wrapped graphite shafts. The stainless steel handles keep you in control of this flying machine.

Same great Rev1.5 but with the new (1998) Super Leading Edge technology developed for the Speed Series kites, full graphics, and a polycarbonate icarex (new material for 1998) sail. The Rev 1.5 SLE continues to be the most dominant quadline sportkite on the market today. The rip-stop polyester sail teamed with the Super Leading Edge) has created a kite that is quicker (clocked flying over 45 mph) with enhanced precsion/control.

This combination of speed and control makes this a very responsive and precise flying machine. The SLE boasts an amazingly crisp, clean dive-stop maneuver, very impressive to the crowds you will attract flying this kite.

2001 Color Chart:

The first of a new duo of "Speed Series" kites, it is the king of the hill of quadline models. Experienced fliers can test their flying abilities to the max with the Shockwave. An enhanced graphite structure enables this model to perform dramatically under the most challenging wind stresses.

The Shockwave has been clocked flying over 70 mph. Paired with a "dive-stop" trick of 60-0 mph in one second, this model begs for a challenge and an experienced flier.

The lighter, more forgiving of the "Speed Series" duo, the Supersonic is nevertheless on a par with the Shockwave in speed, agility, precision, and all-around outstanding performance. With a somewhat reduced pull and easier maneuverability, the Supersonic can readily contend with virtually all wind condition challenges.

The Supersonic has been clocked at 70 mph, and flies in reverse as fast as the 1.5 SLE flies forwards. That's an amazing sight!
