DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Direct Steering and Feel
The Sentry V3 prioritizes a clear connection with the Kite: you'll immediately feel every command, which makes for easier power delivery and more engaged edging. The 26mm diameter ensures a comfortable grip and reduces fatigue during long sessions.
Automatic Swivel and Reliability
The Redesigned Release System Swivel delivers smooth lines rotation to prevent twists. This boosts your riding comfort, as there's no need to interrupt your sessions to untangle lines.
Accessible Safety
The SureShot Quick Release offers simple and intuitive activation when you need it. The reduced chicken loop and donkey dick limit stalls, providing enhanced safety during engaged maneuvers.
Precision and durability of the lines
Equipped with SK-99 Variable FlyTech lines, the Sentry V3 limits aspect ratio to maintain consistent response. The SlimTrim Depower Cleat allows for fine power adjustment while riding, which is practical for refining your settings according to conditions.
