The kite in the 840 mm long Tube, as always the labels may differ from the picture.

Agile floating, slow glides, responsive to subtle inputs of the pilot and reactive to the slightest motion of air.

With precise inputs, you will be able to make the kite float upwards in flatspins.

slow motion …

You may adjust the structure by fine tuning the setup to fit your style or just your mood: Fly infinite, stable and slow glides or lively, but still laid-back moves.

The wingtips are telescopically inserted, made of extra thin and flexible carbon-rods.

Also available as Hyperlight Edition in the lightest Dyneema Composite, quasi hyper-hyper-light.

Choose your lines for the highly performant zero wind kite: a short Zero.5 or Zero.4 on Microwinder in the Tube for urban zero wind flights. And a long Zero.4 for high or very high flights in a breath of wind.

Btw. On some occasions you would like to transport two kites together. In the Tube of the lwh hcs there's some spare place enough for e.g. an i'll be back. Just roll the 2 kites concentrically, one around the other.
