Addiction Sport Kite HPKK MOD 1 Package- Addiction Sport Kite by Premier. The name says it all. This kite is addicting to fly; try it once and you can't put it down. Designed by the team of Jon Trennepohl and Wayne Brunjes, the Addiction is durable enough for the beginner/novice flier and performs for the master flier as well. AND. . . it does all the tricks!
But that's only half the story. From time to time, HP KiteKrafters at Harbor Wind & kite Co. take a well designed kite and modify it to excel in performance.
The Addiction Mod 1 is a current project and the results are nothing short of incredible.We build in a quick-change simple bridle adjustment system in this Mod 1 stage that allows you to tune your Addiction to fly in heavier winds and in lighter winds with great ease using the manufacturers 80# x 80ft lines. We add Jojo stoppers and retune the sail a bit to make it handle more efficiently in turning. This modification improves stalling for simpler trick ability and helps you max your favorite over-the-top tricks.
The Addiction Mod 1 Package to your kite includes:
** Re-tune the sail and re-camber the leading edge.
** Re-engineer the bridle to let the kite accommodate lighter and stronger winds.
** Add Jojo Stoppers.
** Complete Instruction Manual on modifications.
Skill Level: Beginner / Intermediate
Recommended: Use your stock lines that come with your kite until you are completely familiar with the Mod 1 modifications and then replace them with the same weight but thinner lines.
Carefully pack and ship your Addiction Kite to Harbor Wind & Kite Co. We will retro fit (Modify) your Addiction and ship back to you in usually 3-4 days. Don't have an Addiction? Purchase an Addiction and a Mod 1 Package and we will modify your new kite and ship to you ASAP.
NOTE: The Addiction HPKK Mod 1 Package is a modification of your kite only. HP KiteKrafters do not include an Addiction Kite in the Mod 1 Package. Kite must be purchased separately.

The Premier Addiction is a really fun kite to fly right out of the bag ( sleeve). It is the most fun kite I have in my bag right now. Once I read about the modifications that could be made to the Premier Addiction to make it a true "trick" kite, I just had to do it to mine. The modifications I made to mine was to put Skyshark P-90's in the leading edges and add Yo-Yo stoppers, so I could roll the kite up. The P-90's made the frame much stiffer, so it will immediately respond to your hand inputs. I also added an Activator Leg to the bridle between the upper outhaul and inhaul line and a Stabilizer Leg which connects the upper outhaul to the lower outhaul of the bridle. The modifications that Buz makes to the Addiction are worth every penny spent to turn the Addiction in to a real trick performer.

Hey Buz and Ed
Nice job on taming this kite in our winds and giving it the ability to be something other than a laundry tail twisting kite. The new trim and bridal adjustment made a big difference over the stock set up and all my gang really like flying this kite. Especially when the wind are pushing the 20 MPH range as they so often are here in the area.
You two really did a Lot of work in re trimming this sail and taking out the vibration. The kite is Clean through the air and will axel a Lot easier now with what ever you did to the trim in the "WING TIP?" What ever it was it now spins a lot easier, in a stalled mode. As "ED" says I certainly need to GET my "DANCE ON" before I become a TREE. He is such a (AZZ) Tough Instructor sometimes but the new system relieves a lot of eating up the flying field.
Especially in his Fully Modified KITE. I am EAGER to get that done to mine soon...
