Freeride kites
Freeride kites are built for riding rather than competing — stable power, a wide wind range and behaviour that forgives mistakes. This is the category to buy from if you want one kite that takes you from your first independent sessions through to confident jumping, without hitting a ceiling in a season. The Ozone Catalyst, CrazyFly Sculp and Harlem Thrive are the benchmarks here. We match size to your weight, level and spot. Worldwide shipping.
Not sure which one to pick?
Tell us your weight, level and where you ride — our IKO instructors will help you choose, free of charge.

Do you ship freeride kites internationally?▾
Yes. We ship worldwide with DHL Express, FedEx and UPS, and use freight forwarders for oversized items like boards and SUPs. The carrier is chosen for your destination, weight and dimensions.
Is this original gear with a warranty?▾
Yes. K1 is an official dealer for the brands we carry, so everything ships with the manufacturer's warranty. We are also a kite school — our instructors ride this gear themselves.
Can you help me choose?▾
That is the part we are actually good at. Tell us your weight, level, home spot and what you want to do on the water, and our IKO instructors will suggest a specific model and size.
