Crazyfly’s new 2023 Sculp is a do-it-all kite with a sporty feel. It is a true all-round performer across multiple disciplines. Whether you like old school, freestyle, kite loops, big air, or foiling, the new Sculp will deliver.
The Sculp is a Hybrid Delta Bow shape. This shape takes advantage of both Delta and Bow and results in the most versatile and easy-to-use kite we have ever made. This shape is a true do-it-all platform, from great hangtime to amazing kite loops to unhooked pop and slack with pivotal turning.
The Sculp has been fine-tuned to work best with the new Savvy bar this year. The bridle is entirely new, resulting in lighter bar pressure, stability, and faster turning. The new bridle features two additional attachment points to the leading edge on each side of the kite. The first added line on the leading edge near the wingtip is active mainly during relaunches, and the kite virtually wants to fly up by itself on the edge of the window. The second line is attached to the steering flying line and creates another attachment point on the wingtip of the leading edge. This further supports the wingtip structure, so the kite is more stable in gusty conditions and when overpowered. This line also offers two settings of the kite: soft and hard. Selecting the soft setting knot, the Sculp has less bar pressure, turns slower and is more forgiving. The bar pressure increases on the hard setting knot, and the kite is more reactive, feels sportier and turns faster.
With the combination of the new Savvy bar and the new bridle, there is constant feedback on the kite felt on the bar, so you are always in complete control of the kite. The Sculp has gradual power delivery and smooth sheeting. The Sculp inspires confidence in kite loops with improved kite loop recovery and a more pivotal turning radius.
The low end of the Sculp is impressive, thanks to TerTex material. TerTex replaced Dacron in strategic areas, resulting in a stronger kite structure yet lighter overall kite weight. Optimized weight allows for a bigger wind range and improved low-end performance of the Sculp. The Sculp does it all.
