The Taboo range represents a new concept in building the ultimate quiver
of high
performance kites.
Each size of the Taboo is uniquely engineered to optimize performance
for specific riding conditions. Every aspect of design, shaping, material
selection and construction has been tested and selected to create the
ultimate ride in every kite size.
The Taboo delivers an unprecedented experience for hardcore riders who
long to push beyond the limits of their current quiver. Ranging from
4m to 17m, there is a Taboo for all wind speeds and all advanced riding
styles. Each size in the range blends a different balance of 'control',
'power' and ‘flow’ allowing you to completely reinvent your
riding game.
Unhooked big-wave riders and Wakestyle enthusiasts will find that the
smallest Taboos offer the perfect blend of tight and fast steering responsiveness,
light bar pressure and unhooked control, allowing them to express their
style like never before.
New-school riders in the hunt for eye-popping kite-loops will be blown
away by the uncompromising power delivery and handling from the mid-sized
Taboos. Hooked or unhooked the Taboo remains rock solid stable to the
limits of its wind range.
For course racing and lightwind conditions, the largest Taboos are the
most aerodynamically refined kites we've ever made. Every gram of spare
has been trimmed back to deliver maximum lightwind performance and racing
advantage.
With a size range of 4m, 5.5.m 7m, 8m, 9m, 10m 12m, 14m, 15m and 17m
there is a Taboo for your every need. If you want to reach the outer
limits of performance, it's time that you flew the Taboo.

Ride Optimized Geometry:
Every size of Taboo is unique. We've used a different blend of materials,
construction techniques, bridling and 3D geometry to create a range
of high performance kites where each model is ideally suited to delivering
maximum performance in one advanced riding style.
Power Strut Design:
Light wind racing and riding requires every possible advantage so the
15m and 17m Taboos use a high aspect-ratio/projected area canopy planform
that provides maximum power from every square meter of available canopy.
Combined with an ultra thin 5th strut design air-frame for reduced drag
and faster turning it delivers the perfect combination of power and
control for lightwind domination.
New Needle Leading Edge:
The leading edge of every Taboo is stitched with a new needle, one needle
per leading edge. Replacing the needle for every new Taboo LE ensures
a more accurate stitch with smaller needle holes and a stronger final
construction. It might cost a little more to do it this way but it's
the best way to build a kite.
Fixed Line Micro Bridles:
If you want the fastest turning and most direct feedback from your kite
then you need to be as directly connected to it as possible. The Taboo
uses a short front bridle with no sliders or pulleys so it gives you
all the advantages of a direct connection to your kite and still retains
the stability, huge wind-range and ease of relaunch that you've come
to expect from our SLE kite designs. Especially for unhooked riding,
the combination of kite geometry geometry and the fix bridle will provide
zero backstall and the balanced pull after the pop.
EZ-pump:
Kevlar reinforced airframe construction for maximum precision, durability
and minimum weight.All leading edge and strut joints on your kite are
laser cut, 3D shaped and Kevlar tape reinforced.
Sure it takes a little longer and costs a little more to build kites
this way, but there is no better way to connect the leading edge to
the struts.
Hidden Bridle Patches:
The taboo has multiple layer LE attachment points reinforcements, which
are applied to the inside of the LE. This provides best possible load
distribution and eliminates any risk of fraying Dacron edges.
Kevlar Elbows:
Kevlar reinforced, abrasion resistant leading edge elbow patches provide
greater resistance against handling and launch/land damage.
3D Kevlar Airframe:
All the leading edge and the strut joints on your kite are 3D shaped
and constructed with a Kevlar material. There is no better way to connect
the leading edge to the struts. Our construction gives the lightest
and most durable inflatable kite structure available, yielding a kite
with exceptional performance and easy handling for riders of all abilities.
Canopy Framing Technology:
Crashing your kite is a fact of life. That's why the perimeter of each
canopy segment in every Best kite is supported with a unique reinforcement
zone: isolating the canopy from impact and crash loads. CFT now uses
an even stronger mark cloth reinforcement directly between the struts
and the canopy, enhancing the strength of your kite without adding unnecessary
weight. CFT is a unique approach to distributing shock loads, and the
effective transfer of TE tension, across the canopy of your kite and
you'll only find it on Best kites.
Kookproof Connections:
The front bridle on the Taboo is built with a double ended flying line
attachment; this can be removed and flipped to provide either a knot
or a loop connection for use with the Kookproof equipped front line
loops on the Redline Performance Bar.

Load Flex Seam:
The tip-to-tip leading edge seam on all of our kites is triple stitched
with a full length tape closure on the outside. The inside is fully
taped with a full length Mark cloth strip for maximum strength with
all internal seams being smooth-taped to protect the bladders from any
ridges of stitching. The Load Flex seam design provides additional support
to the leading edge helping to provide maximum strength and stability
to your kite.
AB/Custom tune:
AB/Custom-Tune gives you the control to rig your kite to suit your personal
riding style and wind condition. With multiple back line positions on
the wingtips, you have the option to adjust the depower settings, back
line pressure and the turning speed of your kite.
Flat Pack Seams:
Our Flat Pack LE barrel seams contribute to the strongest LE construction
we've ever made. Removing the overlap between segments has created a
stronger and lighter LE construction with enhanced stiffness and torsion
load handling for even greater responsiveness and durability.
Strut Strings:
The strut bladders have a small length of string attached to the head
of the bladder. This string passes through the head of the strut casing
to allow you pull the bladder tight against the strut casing after replacing
a bladder.
Reinforced trailing edge:
The back of your kite takes as much abuse as the front so we reinforce
the trailing edge of all of our kites either with Canopy Framing or
our new Dacron reinforcement for even greater durability and the ultimate
crash protection.
3D Scuff Guards:
The Taboo canopy receives 3D injection moulded scuff pads to provide
maximum protection in self launch situations.
SURF TOUGH:
Surf Tough describes how we build in the absolute highest quality with
every kite that we make. There are no shortcuts to great performance
and lasting durability. We take pride in each and every kite that we
make and that's why you will find Surf Tough features on every one of
our inflatable kites.
