Kites

Size follows your weight and the wind. A 75 kg rider is typically on a 9 m in 18–22 knots, a 12 m in 13–17 knots and a 7 m above 25 knots. Send us your weight and your spot and we will narrow it to one or two sizes.

Inflatable (LEI) kites relaunch easily from water and give direct bar feel — the standard choice for learning and freeride. Foil kites cover a far wider wind range, pack smaller and fly in less wind, at the cost of a steeper learning curve.

Two sizes cover most seasons at most spots. Start with the size that matches your most common conditions and add the second once you know which end of the range you are missing.

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.
