The BAT concept was specifically developed for the bigger sizes of the DA VINCI range. Michael Nesler and the JN Team have successfully enhanced the 12 and 15m² kites with their distinctive BAT design recognizable by the characteristic sting in its outline. These two sizes feature small battens at the tip to improve turning and give direct feedback to the bar. It has proved useful to have a specific design for medium and light wind conditions – larger kites need to have a different set of characteristics. Thanks to early planing in light wind conditions and fantastically easy upwind travel it is possible to have 100% fun even in the smallest breeze. JN exactly adjust every kite size to its corresponding wind conditions.

The DA VINCI BAT shape brings two major advantages: It gives significantly more stability and makes re-launching the kite easier and quicker.

The bat-like sting actively helps the kite in finding the optimum pitch angle. With this “adjustment support”, going upwind becomes much easier. The sting acts like a tail in the wind, while the BAT shape buffers gusts and smoothly compensates wind lulls.
The fifth line makes for an easy –launch. The outline of the DA VINCI BAT is fashioned to make the kite turns on its own, glide to the edge of the wind window and wait for the launch. Thanks to the BAT shape, it is also easier for the tips to leave the water. Re-launching a kite has become astonishingly easy, and even beginners do not necessarily have to stick to shallow water spots.
