Design :
Based on the brand-new Gracchio Mk3, it incorporates our progressive reflex profile, optimizing stability, lift, and wind penetration. With an exceptionally wide range of use, particularly at the lower end, thanks to its outstanding efficiency!
The Puffin V2 proudly carries LittleCloud’s DNA: exceptional pitch stability, direct handling, large brake range, and high passive safety.
The simplicity of the design translates into incredible ease of use, predictable reactions, and dimensional balance, allowing it to be used with either Kiterisers or trimmer risers!
In Kiteriser mode, you’ll get a more dynamic Parakite approach, prioritizing the joy of carving and gliding over the hand’s up diving!
Ultra-precise across its entire control range, it will push you to the bottom of your harness during committed turns or endless flares!
● Progressive reflex profile: Enhanced stability, sensation, and performance.
● Legendary pitch stability: true to LittleCloud wings.
● Moderate aspect ratio with 5.35.
● Ultimate versatility: KiteRisers or standard risers: Parakite piloting with KiteRisers or traditional with trim risers.
● Sand evacuation: Trailing edge tunnels with “dirtouts” to clear sand in flight.
● Ronstan Orbits pulleys: Sand-resistant.
● Proven construction and materials for intensive use, light by essence!
● Sheathed lines, except on the upper lines, for maximum efficiency.
● 2 sizes: 16 and 19
● 2 colors: Yellow or Orange
Target :
The Puffin V2 is designed for intermediate pilots with some mini-wing experience seeking a dynamic, high-performance, and ultra-versatile wing for parakite-style soaring as well as the full range of classic mini-wing activities with standard risers.
Original Puffin lovers will be impressed with this new version!
Unlike its little sister La Mouette, the Puffin V2 is noticeably more dynamic in roll and more energetic! It is therefore slightly more demanding than La Mouette but remains accessible thanks to its remarkable precision and exceptional tolerance at low speeds!
With low weight and compact size, along with a wide speed range, it will accompany you everywhere—be it at the beach, in the mountains for thermaling, or soaring…
Tests :
We tested and pushed the wings to their limits in real-world conditions, up to a level of turbulence we consider borderline flyable!
The behavior is predictable, with the wings clearly communicating the air mass, warning pilots with small tip closures. These minor closures serve as an effective regulation system, temporarily increasing the angle of attack and wing loading without affecting heading!
We used standard risers to assess behavior during induced collapses.
You can find some videos on this page.
Note that the exceptional stability of the profile and wing in flight only delays the point at which a collapse may occur, as with all soft-structure wings!
Keep in mind that this type of reflex profile does not have an “autopilot” mode!
With Kiterisers, stall phases are clearly “announced” to the pilot, and the wing instantly resumes flight when the pilot raises their hands!
For experienced pilots this offers the opportunity to play with the stall point. For example during top landings.
In more dynamic roll maneuvers, the wing responds instantly to pilot inputs without overreacting or surprises!
