Hybrid kites
Hybrid kites combine the depower and wind range of a bow kite with the direct steering of a C-shape. In practice this is the profile most all-round kites use today: easy water relaunch, a long depower stroke for gusts, and enough bar feel to jump and loop. If you want one kite that covers freeride, first jumps and the occasional wave, this is the category to look at. We help you match size to your weight and wind. Worldwide shipping.
