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.

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.

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.

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 fixed bridle will provide zero backstall and the balanced pull after the pop.

The EZ-pump connectors on the Taboo use a new connector that directly attaches the tubes to the valves without an intermediary connector. Reducing the number of parts in the EZ-pump makes it more robust and easier to use and service.

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.

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.

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.

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.
