Description

The Xlite fuses two kites from the range: the power of the Nexus all-rounder and the drift of the Section wave kite. One strut instead of three makes it 30% lighter than the Nexus, which isn't a heavy kite to begin with.

Weight here isn't about carrying it. A lighter canopy starts flying earlier and falls out of the sky less in lulls — and on a foil the lulls are constant, because the board outruns the wind and the kite keeps ending up under-powered.

Twelve sizes, from 2 to 13.5 m². That spread is unusual: the small sizes exist for strong-wind foiling, where 4 m² is already a lot, and the top end is for riding in near-calm.

Materials: a CoreTex 2.0 canopy with improved tear resistance in both directions, and ExoTex Light on the leading edge and strut.

Who it isn't for. Wrong choice for jumping: a single-strut kite doesn't hold its shape under shock loading. In Mui Ne during the season at 20+ knots it will mostly sit in the bag — its time is early mornings and the shoulder season.

“We ride this gear ourselves and teach on it. The main thing is picking the size for your weight and wind: bigger in light wind, smaller when it blows. If you're unsure, message us — we'll put together an honest setup, no upselling.”
