leading edge inflatable kite
A leading edge inflatable kite (LEI) is a single skin kite with inflatable bladders providing structure. It is useful as a power or traction kite. These kites are flown using 2, 4 or 5 control lines and a bar. (See also: kite control systems) A LEI is a great kite for water use because the inflated bladders cause it to float on the water surface. A LEI can sit on the water for an indefinite time and still be relaunched because, unlike a foil kite, there are no chambers that can fill with water. Generally used for kitesurfing and kiteboarding, leading edge inflatable kites come in many different sizes, most commonly from 5-18 square metres.
Based on their design Leading Edge Inflatable kites can be broken down into four categories: C-
kites, Hybrid kites, Delta kites, and Bow kites.
==C Kites==
C Kites are the oldest style of LEI used for traction kiting. They typically come with four lines, and some have the option of an additional 5th line for safety and easy relaunching. The main difference between C kites and other LEI styles is that they do not have any lines that support the leading edge of the kite (called bridles). The lines on a C- kite attach to the four corners of the kite. Hybrid kites, together with bow kites and later Delta kites are all subtypes of a SLE-kite (Supported Leading Edge), defined by having a bridle which supports the leading edge. C-kites are the preferred kite of wake-style kiteboarders.
