BUNNY.You know that guy that is quick with a smart-ass joke or a punch to the ribs and is so sly that he’ll slip in on your girl if you turn your back? Sometimes you ask yourself "Why do I keep this clown around?" Then, when you least expect it, he comes through in the clutch. Meet the BUNNY. Never turn your back on the BUNNY... NATURAL STRENGTHBUNNY, by its nature, is strong and rigid. It has what it takes to survive and excel in higher winds and rough surf. The extra-reinforced construction makes it a great tool in demanding conditions, and his friendly character will give you all the confidence that you need to charge when the going gets rough. GUSTY WIND CHARACTERISTICSIn many kite spots in the world, when the wind gets cranking, it is often gusty and inconsistent. Due to the turbulence created by the air hitting the shore, the wind can vary wildly. Wind conditions that go from totally overpowered to marginal in just a few seconds can cause even the calmest riders to lose their cool. In order to keep you looking cool, instead of like a tool, we made sure BUNNY can handle such situations quite well. The design of BUNNY is calculated to allow it to depower with just a short move of the bar. This, along with great low-end power and famous RABBIT swing provide a rider with the momentum necessary to handle lulls between gusts. WAVERIDINGSurfing with a kite is one of the most amazing feelings to be had outside of the bedroom. And when the right conditions occur at your spot, you want to be equipped to seize the moment to its fullest. BUNNY has great turning ability, and reacts directly to your inputs, so you can choose where on a wave you want to be instead of it choosing for you. When rigged to the DOWNWIND setting on the front bridle (RABBIT USER MANUAL) it flies downwind by itself so all downwind wave turns can be done with the kite in a right position. Bombproof construction and solid LE gives this kite the best chance possible of surviving contact with rough water. JUMPINGWhere is the real fun in kiting? It is catching air! No matter if you can already throw the sickest ones or you’re still working on jumping over surfboards. What matters is the feeling. The key is the sensation of flight. When it is really windy, not everyone has the guts to even try. With BUNNY it is different. Because you have your partner in crime with you, the confidence is there to just hold the edge, pop the kite from the bottom of the window and blaaaam! A good friend never lets you feel afraid. A true wake style bro. QUICK TURNINGTo perform well in waves and have power to spare for jumps, a kite should turn quickly. But it also has to be stable on course and very predictable. Both beginners and advanced riders really appreciate such combination for their needs. By turning quickly BUNNY creates a beautiful extra pop that can pull you out of the water like being shot out of a cannon. And for those who want a bit slower steering when the wind picks up, BUNNY can be slowed down by easily changing the position of the back lines to the SLOW position on the kite tip (RABBIT USER MANUAL). UPWIND SAILINGWhether you want to shred more waves, get more jumps, or just enjoy a great day of free riding, you want the ability to come back upwind fast. BUNNY was designed to not let you down at this point. Even when the wind is getting lighter it still plays all the angles to bring you back to where you started. DIRECT AND LIGHT FEELBUNNY, like all other Rabbits was designed to be steered with a direct feel on the bar that lets the rider control the kite with great precision and instant reactions. In the air, BUNNY feels very solid and stable which is the effect of his well-engineered construction. All the above, plus light pressure on the bar, in both hooked and unhooked positions makes this kite so sweet! POWER CONTROL AND RABBIT BARBUNNY is a powerful kite but its energy can be controlled very well and even shut down immediately when needed. Instant and quick depower is a great skill of this kite, and as soon as the rider lets go of the bar, the pull of BUNNY stops. BUNNY, like all RABBITS, should be used with the original RABBIT BAR that was designed very precisely to match the characteristics of these kites. Together, they work precisely and provide a very wide range and depower with no stopper balls or other complicated features. Pure simplicity that let’s you explore your limits with confidence. RABBIT AUTOMATIC RELAUNCHIn order to provide maximum comfort and confidence, all RABBITS re-launch almost automatically. Because of their round shape, when they fall in the water they have a tendency to land on their sides and travel to the edge of the window, re-launching with very little effort from the pilot. And in the event that the kite crashes and submerges the leading edge, a firm pull by the pilot on one of the back lines will turn RABBIT around where it will re-launch again, without swimming to it! RABBIT BAR is equipped with specially coated back line/ leader lines with re-launch balls that make the process very fast and easy on the hands. RABBIT USER MANUALBy their definition, RABBITS are all round wake style kites. But as every kite boarder has his own style, it is important to let him tune-up his kite to accommodate those unique preferences. Some riders prefer a bit firmer pressure on the bar, some need to have more vertical lift, some would appreciate downwind sailing more than hang time. Accommodating those differences would be very easy, with the RABBIT USER MANUAL. Every rider can have full influence on how his RABBIT is going to act. These options are for the advanced rider, and the kite needs to be ridden first on the factory set-up for some time. After that every pilot will be able to tune his own RABBIT for his needs as necessary. FULL CANOPY REINFORCEMENTAt Wainman Hawaii, we believe in using the right tool for the job. For this reason, BUNNY has different construction from his bigger RABBIT Bros, who are made to be as light as possible. As it is intended to be used in extreme conditions, BUNNY needs to be as strong as possible. That is why the entire canopy has been fully reinforced with DP heavy cloth, giving the kite an effective exoskeleton. This is a unique advantage over all his competitors who merely use smaller scales of their bigger bros, which does not adequately prepare them for the rough conditions that they often face. BUNNY has his own identity and destiny – to go toe to toe with the baddest and come out on top. 3 STRUT FRAMEWORKRABBITS have a 3 strut Construction and that makes them really different from other kites. They are faster, more responsive, and lighter-weight but also very solid and powerful due to their high quality, heavy-cloth framework. FABRICS AND STITCHINGTo be the best, BUNNY and his bros from RABBIT GANG are built only with the highest quality fabrics that are available on the market. The canopy of the kite is made with the very light and super durable rip-stop SPI cloth from Teijin, Japan – world undisputable leader of the high performance rip-stop fabrics. All panels are sewn according to craft-secrets of the finest sail-making artists, using only certified threads and master sewing techniques in order to create very strong but flexible construction that will survive windiest gales and storms. REINFORCEMENTSTo protect seams well against the hard objects that every kite normally comes in contact with, and which after some time cause ugly and dangerous seam tearing, RABBITS are equipped with multiple reinforcements of LE at the edges and on the tips. Those extra features will protect your kite well and make it look good even after seasons of hard use. BRIDLESTo fly in the most efficient location in the window during all maneuvers, RABBIT is equipped with an auto-positioning bridle, which allows the kite to naturally find its sweet spot in the sky. From the factory, BUNNY is connected to the front lines with a V bridle on 2 tow points. The length of the bridles has been minimized in order to avoid any tangles in the waves or during re-launches. Back lines are connected directly to the kite’s tip with a single- point connection in order to enable quick reaction from the steering lines. SINGLE FRONT LINES OPTIONIf you prefer a more direct feel, you can utilize the bridal removal option. Included with every BUNNY is a specially reinforced, single tow point for the front lines. In the kite repair kit, you can find a set of a pre-lines that need to be mounted on a SINGLE point attachment, after removing V bridle from the kite. This set-up changes the feel of the kite making it more radical and direct, showing its relationship to the C-kites. TOW-POINTSGreat power of Rabbits is transmitted to the rider through the bar and the flying lines, but the attachment points where flying lines and bridles are connected to the kite are also very important areas, where great forces are being generated. Those points on Rabbits are well engineered so even when the strongest gusts hit the canopy, nothing will get damaged. With triple layer sandwich construction and using extra strength polyester webbing, the rider can be sure the attachment points on Rabbits are very solid. INFLATIONWith only 3 struts to inflate, RABBITS don’t need any heavy and in the long run, very dangerous one pump system. RABBITS are designed to be pumped firmly and that allows them to show their real nature. PACKAGE CONTENT
