The Synthesis is a dual-line sport kite built around a faceted leading edge with a 6-degree bend at the ferrules, which adds drive and precision in the air. The sail is hand-laid from 1/2 oz ripstop polyester, low-stretch Mylar laminate and reinforced stress points, framed with tapered DT15 carbon spreaders and 6mm pultruded carbon tubes. It suits experienced sport kite fliers who want a precise, responsive kite and who accept that a straight leading edge flexes farther on the ground than a pre-bent cambered wing. Against rivals, the tapered spreaders concentrate stiffness at the center and cut weight at the tips, and the pultruded lower tubes survive crashes better and are cheaper to replace than wrapped tubes. Flying lines are not included.

Owners rate the Synthesis 5 out of 5 across 24 ratings, with no criticism recorded. The feedback centers on its precision in the air and the build of the sail and frame.
The Synthesis is a sport kite with a faceted leading edge that has a 6 degree bend at the ferrules. This shape gives the kite extra drive and precision in the air. The straight leading edge sections can flex farther than a pre-bent cambered wing, so they can be flexed farther without breaking.
The sail is laid up by hand from ultralight 1/2 oz ripstop polyester, low-stretch Mylar laminate and aerospace-tough reinforcement materials. The frame uses Dynamic DT15 wrapped, tapered carbon spreaders and 6mm pultruded carbon tubes, with internal reinforcements at all stress points.
The tapered spreaders put stiffness in the middle of the kite and keep weight low toward the wingtips for quick response. The pultruded tubes hold up better than wrapped tubes in a mishap and cost less to replace if one breaks. The kite also has a crash-resistant floating CT, molded APA fittings and a system for precisely adjusting the bridle.
