    NFC Booomtag


    The Touch bar V3 has an integrated NFC tag which is programmed on the Booomtag platform.

    • WHAT ITS NOT ?
      • It is not a GPS tracker to find your stuff.
      • It is not a chip that collects data from you to sell to third parties.
      • It is not an electronic device that contains a battery.


    • WHAT IS IT THEN?
      • A NFC tag can be read with any modern smartphone.
      • Each tag has a unique identifier just like a serial number on the products.
      • In this case the tag is programmed for the Booomtag platform.
      • After scanning the tag you will see information regarding the product like, name, version plus, if you want, user defined information.
      • You can register your product for free on the Booomtag platform under your free account with all your other products that have the tag.
      • You first get privacy settings which you can adjust at any time.
    • WHAT DOES IT DO FOR YOU?

      • Others cannot get your name, number, or address by reading the tag. There are situations and professions where that may be preferred.
      • You can show ICE (in case or emergency) numbers when someone reads the tag.

Which bar size is for you ?

Bar Width

A wider bar will provide more steering input to the kite compared to a smaller bar when they are pulled in the same angle.

  • The 45cm wide bar is advised for 6m and smaller kites.
  • The 51cm wide bar is advised for 9m and larger kites.
  • 7m & 8m kites can be flown with both bars depending on your preference.
  • People that do especially unhooked tricks may prefer a 45cm wide bar on all kite sizes.
  • Beginner tip: Don’t keep your hands at the bar ends but learn to keep your hands in the center of the bar as much as possible.

Line Length

Longer lines make the kite travel through the power zone over a longer distance, hence, creates more force to pull you out of the water and get you going. It will also increase height of jumps. On the counter side, the kite gets less direct and less responsive.

  • Kites smaller than 9m are best flown with the standard 22.5m bars.
  • Kites of 9/12m are best flown with the standard 22.5m bar for freestyle , megaloops and waveriding.
  • Kites of 9/12m are best flown with 2.5m extensions for freeride and big-air.
  • Kites larger then 12m are best flow with 2.5 or 4m extensions.
  • 2.5m and 4m extensions are optional and not included with the bar.

Low V versus High Y

This option allows you to slightly tweak the kites feel to your personal preference. The low V provides a bit more connected feel whereas the high Y provides a bit smaller turning radius.

  • On the Xcite a high Y may accommodate in learning to kiteloop.
  • On the Xplore a high Y may accommodate in a comfortable learning curve.
