The detail

About this kites

A dedicated big-air kite: high aspect, five struts, and tuned to convert a hard edge into vertical height rather than forward speed. The trade-off is deliberate — it turns more slowly than a freeride delta and rewards riders who already know how to load the lines and time a pop. Expect very strong upwind performance, a huge depower range through the sheeting stroke, and float that keeps you in the air long enough to work on board-offs and kite loops. The stiff frame and reinforced canopy handle overpowered conditions well, which matters on the windier Red Sea afternoons. Best suited to advanced riders at 15 knots and up; below that it feels like hard work.
