There was a demand for tubes that had a better look and would help prevent bridle wear from friction on lower spreaders. So Sky Shark™ brought back a sanded smooth finish tube that was similar to the original Black Diamond THP series tubes that were different colors. Same finish with no colors. They have a very hard clear-coat paint that makes them very smooth. The tubes are the same tubes as our standard 3PT's, 5PT's and 7PT's. The only difference is we take grains, not grams of material off the tube very precisely. The amount of material in weight that is taken off is replaced by the weight of the paint.
Sky Shark™ has also started producing a new larger diameter tube that is called the Black Diamond Nitro. This tube was developed in cooperation with Ken McNeill of Blue Moon Kites. Ken wanted a tube that was stiffer than the 5pt to stop any wing chatter that comes with high wind flying and to create better all around performance. So the new tube has a larger diameter, different taper, and is about 15 to 20% stiffer than the 5pt. It is also a sanded tube. This tube can also be cut from the large end as well as the small end. This gives you the ability to change the stiffness.
