HYBRID ATTACHMENT DESIGN:
Choose between 4-line, 5th-line, SLE and SLE+5th-line modes for handling performance and depower. Unique micro bridle design stows away behind the LE for ultra fast switching between styles. Maximum versatility and proven simplicity with no lines to detach.
EZ-PUMPTM TOTAL INFLATION SYSTEM:
Our new EZ-pumpTM total inflation system, with integrated silicone stopper valves, allows easy one-shot inflation of the entire airframe of the kite. Already proven in the Bularoo design, this feature is a must have for riders who want to get out on the water fast.
CANOPY FRAMING TECHNOLOGY:
Crashing your kite is a fact of life. The Yarga Hybrid SLE is the only hybrid SLE kite designed with Canopy Framing Technology, the ultimate reinforcement system. The entire perimeter of each canopy panel on the Yarga Hybrid SLE is supported with a continuous reinforcement zone, isolating the canopy from impact loads and delivering protection that you can believe in.
PROFILE SHAPER BATTENS:
Fiberglass reinforced Profile Shapers reduce upper canopy deformation at low angles of attack. Profile Shapers ensure that your Yarga Hybrid SLE is the smoothest flying kite, even at the absolute limits of depower. A clear and tough outer casing on each batten ensures that should you ever need to replace one it’s a ten second job, never a trip to the repair shop.
TRAILING EDGE BATTENS:
Strategically placed wingtip battens increase turning response, improve aerodynamics by controlling air flow over the control surfaces and eliminate canopy flutter
SOLID AIRFRAME CONSTRUCTION
There’s no better way to connect the leading edge to the struts. Our construction gives the stiffest and lightest structure available, yielding a kite with exceptional performance and easy handling for riders of all abilities.
TEIJIN RIP-STOP CANOPY:
If you want to cut corners you can buy cheaper fabric, but you certainly can’t use anything better. We only use Teijen Rip-Stop for our canopy material, as there’s no better Rip-Stop cloth available.
DACRON WINGTIP PANELS:
Multi-layer Dacron wingtip panels distribute turning forces for unmatched responsiveness and enable self launching without risk of damage.
WOVEN SPECTRA SERVICEABLE PULLEY LINES:
4mm braided abrasion resistant pulley lines, easily replaceable for minimum down time. Pulley lines include depower stopper knots which limit bridle travel to enhance stability in all wind conditions.
RONSTAN HIGH LOAD PULLEYS:
Used in SLE mode, low friction high load pulleys help deliver maximum depower and precision handling in all conditions.
CFT REINFORCED TRAILING EDGE:
Like all kites in our 07 range the new Yarga benefits from out exclusive CFT reinforced trailing edge, which provides razor sharp responsiveness and unmatched durability, even if you leave your Yarga lying on the beach for days or months on end.
LOAD FLEX LE SEAM:
Unique triple stitched webbing taped LE seam guarantees the strongest LE on any inflatable kite. There is simply no stronger seam construction.
SURF TOUGH CONSTRUCTION:
Our unique Canopy Framing Technology, LE Load Flex seam, fully taped canopy and Solid Airframe Construction come together to deliver the most proven and trusted kite construction package in the industry.
HIGHEST QUALITY MATERIALS:
The 2007 Yarga Hybrid SLE uses only the best available materials and construction. When we can’t find what we need to make the best kites in the world we design and manufacture it ourselves, like our new EZ-pumpTM total inflation system.
Once again, Best Kiteboarding delivers revolution in kiteboarding design. Hot on the heels of the performance redefining Waroo 07 and Bularoo comes the new Yarga Hybrid SLE. The new Yarga is the ultimate high performance, extended depower C-kite, that gives all riders 4-line, 5th-line and SLE style micro-bridle set up and performance options.
With four different rigging, relaunch and depower set-ups available, and all of them perfectly tuned straight from the bag, no other Hybrid kite delivers more of the promise of maximum performance, increased depower, improved safety and truly versatile handling.
In 4-line mode, the new Yarga Hybrid SLE is a high performance mid-aspect ratio C-kite. An exceptional, competition ready package, it offers the perfect blend of turning responsiveness, flying speed, stability and ease of use.
The 5th-line option extends the relaunch and depower available to the rider even further, simplifying relaunch whether in flat water or caught out in overhead surf. A quick pull on the optional 5th-line kit flips the Yarga straight onto its back ready for launching.
SLE Micro-bridle mode hugely increases available depower and upwind ability, turning the Yarga from 4-line kite into a high performance SLE in seconds. Switching between rigging set-ups couldn’t be easier, the micro-bridle stows on the back of the LE, meaning there’s nothing to detach, and nothing to forget.
SLE+5th-line mode offers riders the ultimate combination of depower, performance, easy handling and instant relaunch.
For 07 we’ve redesigned the Yarga from the wingtips up, literally, to deliver an unmatched package of precision, power, ease of use and hugely extended wind range. The Yarga Hybrid SLE is the perfect kite for riders who want the flexibility of multiple kite styles, the industry’s leading construction package, hardcore competition tuned handling, and unmatched ease of use. There is only one true Hybrid choice.

The Best Kiteboarding R&D program takes place all over the world. Our two main research and development facilities are in Western Australia and Brazil. Product development takes place in Australia for 6 months of the year, the team then moves onto Brazil for further testing, while some members travel the Globe for the rest of the year fine tuning product for the upcoming season.
Direct customer feedback plays an important role in the development of every Best Kiteboarding product, that’s why you are welcome anytime at our Brazil R&D facility to come and try the latest products under development. While you are there, there is a good chance you will get to meet many of the team who are responsible for your favorite products every season. Take the time to stop them and chat, we really do value your feedback.
Alongside our demanding testing schedule are numerous visits to each one of our production facilities. Kite production is closely overseen by our designer Peter Stiewe, with each step/change being verified on location to make sure that every kite produced is exactly as it was intended. Numerous conferences take place with our materials suppliers every season, as new cloths are developed, tested and readied for possible production. Our particularly close relationship with Cubic Tech Corp has enabled us to develop a range of advanced technical fabrics that have allowed our HP and older Pro range of kites to deliver unmatched technical performance.
When near-final versions of kites have been made, small batches are shipped out to testers across the USA, Europe, South Africa and Australia. We put all of our kites into the hands of the toughest and most demanding riders on the planet, not just competitive riders, but riders of all ages and all levels who each have a completely different set of requirements. Only when each kite has been refined and tuned to perfection do they make their way into production and onto the shelves of our dealers worldwide.
For every Best Kiteboarding kite we demand the very highest quality fabrics and components, alongside the most stringent levels of production control and quality assurance. As riders we would not settle for anything less, neither should you.
