SKY SHARK BLACKDIAMOND TUBES
Sky Shark™ Competition Air Frames are world renowned as the very best
competition tubes. It is no wonder, the best flyers in the world use Sky
Shark™ Air Frames. The facts speak for themselves, there is no equal to
the weight to stiffness of Sky Shark™. The consistent quality of the
fibers and tubes offer un-matched reliability and performance. Sky Shark™
is commited to bringing the the very best to kite flyers of all
abilities. Whatever level of kite you fly or manufacture, use the very
best products, Sky Shark Kite™ Products.We were getting a demand for
tubes that had a better look and would help prevent bridle wear from
friction on lower spreaders. So we brought back a sanded smooth finish
tube that was similar to our original Black Diamond THP series tubes
that were different colors. We decided to do the same finish with no
colors. They have a very hard clear-coat paint that makes them very
smooth. The tubes are the same tubes as our standard 3PT's, 5PT's and
7PT's. The only difference is we take grains, not grams of material off
the tube very precisely. The amount of material in weight that is taken
off is replaced by the weight of the paint.
We also have just started producing a new larger diameter tube that
is going to be called the Black Diamond Nitro. We developed this tube in
cooperation with Ken McNeill of Blue Moon Kites. Ken wanted a tube that
was stiffer than our current 5pt to stop any wing chatter that comes
with high wind flying and to create better all around performance. So
the new tube has a larger diameter, different taper, and is about 15 to
20% stiffer than our current 5pt. It is also a sanded tube. This tube
can also be cut from the large end as well as the small end. This gives
you the ability to change the stiffness. We may also clear coat tubes
for spreaders. It's one of the stiffest tube I have ever had at 15
grams.
