In September 2026 we introduced a brand new innovation, the Airlock valve II. It is the first valve ever used in kites without any welding and without any glue to attach the valve to the bladder. The valve is attached to the bladder only with a mechanical bond. We are extremely proud of the Air Lock II valve, where real world use results prove that we solved one of the biggest problems in the kite industry. The Airlock valve II showed absolutely zero detachment / delamination or leaks during two years testing and one year of kite sales on the market. The Airlock II is a stand up paddle type valve with click and turn inflate and deflate function. Push down and turn to deflate. Turn to release in the upper position for inflation. The Airlock II is backwards compatible with all CrazyFly kites since 2017. It works with the same pump adapter as the previous valve version.

TerTex material is used on all 2027 CrazyFly kites. It is two times stronger than our Triplex triple ripstop and at the same time TerTex is forty percent lighter than the Dacron material we use. Applied in various strategically selected areas of the kite between Dacron and Ripstop, TerTex radically reduces kite weight. Lighter kites have better low end, move faster through the air, are easier to relaunch and turn quicker. TerTex also increases the wind range, as low end performance is improved, because a lighter kite is still able to fly in lower winds.

We are extremely proud to have over 98% of our product packaging from recycled paper. In the last few years we have been working hard on this and have replaced almost all plastic packaging with paper.
