HELIUM 4

Light air, foil and wave riding performance

LIGHT,

Light air performance has always been at the heart of the Helium. Every material, panel, stitch, has been carefully optimised to reduce weight while maintaining core strength and usability.

FOIL,

Drift, effortless control and light air performance make the Helium the perfect foilboarding tool.

WAVE,

The excellent drift and quick turning response that makes the Helium excel in foil boarding also gives the wave rider the perfect tools to effortlessly surf in the widest wide wind range.

VERSATILE,

The Helium’s 3-strut progressive profile and refined fixed bridle give the Helium the ability to cover a large set of performance criteria. From foilboarding, wave riding, to light wind twin-tip freeriding.

SPECS

This is only a guide. Different skill levels, conditions and board types can effect range. This chart is based off a 75 kg Rider on 135x41 Twin Tip.

Efficient design

High projected area maximizes lift while reducing drag for efficiency and speed. 3-Struts provide optimal canopy shape and stability to create power without distortion. The Helium stable design keeps performing in all wind conditions.

Fixed Bridle

The Helium’s bridle system has been designed to maximize stability and direct bar feel while staying light and simple.

Light Weight

Carefully selected materials, panel design, and lightweight rub areas has minimised weight while maintaining the legendary structural strength all Switch kites are famous for. The Helium will dominate the same levels of punishment out on the water but with lightweight rub areas, extra care is needed when handling the kite on the beach/land.

New - Bladders and Inflation System

We have implemented an all-new bladder construction technique utilizing higher strength TPU welding processes, double seams, strongest TPU materials available and an all-new one-pump valve inflation system. The strongest and easiest to use bladder inflation system we have tested.

New - Teijin 4X Ripstop

Teijin is world-renowned as the very best kite canopy material manufacturer in the industry. 4X Quad Ripstop used on our kites is Teijin highest spec canopy material available. The highest damage resistance vs weight score of any material we have tested. The Teijin 4X Quad Ripstop also had the best scores for stretch, water resistance, rigidity, and UV stability. The highest quality materials available no compromises.

New - Trailing Edge

The Trailing Edge has been redesigned using a secondary load distribution frame. This reduces weight and maximizes durability.

New - Kite Bag

TOUGH, LIGHT, FUNCTIONAL

Large sizes easy fit, Large opening, Internal bar pocket, Accessories pocket, External pump attachment, Gear staps, New kite patch kit, Backpack straps and grab handles.
