  • Drifter  – One of our big sellers – great kite for the beaches around Canterbury & fun on the flat waters too.

  • While surfing, you want your kite to be as invisible as possible. Having a kite which can quickly power and depower are the keys to fluid board control. And there is no better feeling than the moment when your kite ‘drifts’ effortlessly down the line as you absolutely tear apart the wave on your surfboard.

  • Sizes: 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12 / 13 –  Small sizes work real well for foiling too !!


  • FX – Ultimate blend of flat water freestyle & big air with great free ride handling.

  • Freestyle / Crossover (FX). Two words that perfectly describe how freestyle has evolved to mix the styles of hooked and unhooked trick riding. 

  • In todays high performance arena it is imperative to have a kite that will deliver performance on both fronts. Whether you are doing the most technical unhooked tricks or throwing massive hooked kite loops the FX will get it done… with style.
    The FX produces the sensitivity of ‘slack’ while unhooked and the power and control while hooked. Two fronts that will take your riding to entirely new levels.

  • Sizes: 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 12 / 14

CONTRA 1 STRUT – Foil free ride kite

  • This season the Contras range is expanded  to bring its legendary efficiency deep into the foil boarding realm.

  • The single strut version of the Contra is built on its platform of efficiency and range, while adding featherweight control. With its single strut, this kite is lighter and more nimble, allowing the use of much smaller sizes to maximize foilboardings true potential.

  • The Contra 1 struts superior drift characteristics allow for low angles of attack while on foil, and the rear line tension increases steering impulse even when depowered.

  • This dynamic kite design shift will put an optimized Contra light wind kite in your hands whether you ride a twin tip, surfboard, or a foil board.

  • Sizes: 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12 / 14
