Q-PowerLine
Q-PowerLine
represents over 5 years of research and development to engineer
the ultimate line specifically for traction kiting applications.
The unique cored construction utilizes continuous linear strands
of very high tenacity Spectra 2000® fiber encased in an extremely
tight braided Spectra 2000 sheath. The resulting line exhibits
the ideal characteristics for traction kiting: almost zero stretch
means minimal length adjustments and incredible kite “feel” when
flying, no sleeving required makes it easy to produce your own
custom sets, self-lubrication ensures minimal friction during
line wraps, a round cross-section minimizes parasitic wind-drag
increasing both the kites forward speed and response to pilot
input, a tight external braid reduces dirt abrasion, and a higher
modulus (stiffness) than traditional lines almost totals eliminates
line tendency to tangle. Proprietary coating technology allows
us to produce hi-visibility safety lines in fluorescent yellow
and orange with even coatings that resist the tendency to fade
and rub off.
New Q-PowerLine-Pro represents the latest advancement
in Kitesurfing line technology from Active People Sports. The
latest generation of Q-PowerLine, Pro
utilizes a new thinner, stronger Spectra fiber to further improve
on the time-proven superior features of Q-PowerLine.
Pro is now 30% thinner than standard Q-PowerLine
for even lower drag, more resistant to stretch with stronger impact
strength, a smoother “hand” makes it much more “kink” resistant,
and it features a new surface treatment for a slipperier finish
allowing more wraps without binding.
