2008 ECLIPSE NANO

The 2008 Eclipse NANO builds on the original NANO concept as a kite
designed exclusively for the needs of wave riders, snow kiters,
wakeboard style and soul riders. For 2008 we have stepped up to the
plate and refined the NANO so that anyone will get total pleasure
flying this kite. The 2008 the NANO is now considered our Free-Ride
kite. It is extremely stable making it also a great choice for a first
kite.

The NANO is one of the most fun filled kites you will ever ride. The
NANO responds to the riders input immediately, it zips around with
incredible speed and control. Power on power off at your finger tips.
The dedicated wave rider will love the range, stability and easy
re-launch. The NANO offers the free riders enough boost and hang time
to work on the latest moves. The more you ride it the more stoked you
get. This kite will make you feel like an aerobatic stunt pilot.

The speed and maneuverability of the 2008 Eclipse NANO can create
amazing power for its size. Riding un hooked is a snap and 5th line
safety system always keeps you attached. The NANO's increased foil area
helps to create a low range never before imagined. The 6m NANO can have
you riding with a surfboard in 15 knots! Everyone should have a Nano in
their quiver.

The new Eclipse bar is sick. Not only is the chicken loop EZ CL
release system very simple but you can reset it with one hand. It also
has adjustable release sensitivity. The bar itself has a unique grip
pattern never seen before on one bar. Each side is different so you can
tell left from right by feel. The middle section has a ridge for a
comfortable grip near the chicken loop center line. The bar set up also
includes a unique 5th line safety that only goes up from the chicken
loop to the other side of the adjuster. (See the web site
www.eclipsekites.com for pictures and video) The lines themselves have
4m extensions that can be remove making the lines either 24m or 20m.
Extending the range and performance of your kite. The EZ lock system
designed for safety and ease. All this and more make the Eclipse bar a
one of kind enigma.
