Choosing the right gear isn’t just about specs — it’s about how you ride, where you ride, and what gets you stoked to get on the water. With the launch of our latest range, we’ve refined and expanded our kites, wings, and boards to suit every style, from Big Air to wave, freeride to foil.
This guide breaks down the key differences between each model and who they’re designed for — so you can ride what truly fits you.
FLITE A-Series & FLITE Pro Dacron
Use: Big Air / Freeride / Lightwind
Versions:
-
A-Series (ALUULA): Incredibly light 5-strut and 3-strut kites
-
Pro Dacron: Same performance DNA in a durable, affordable build
Who It’s For:
You love big boosts, long hangtime, and confident handling in all conditions — or you want a kite that performs when the wind barely shows up. Choose the 3-strut FLITE for lightwind or foil sessions, and the 5-strut for Big Air and powered freeride.
Choose A-Series if: You want max performance, minimal weight, and sharp response.

Who It’s For:
Riders who want precision. Whether you’re slashing surf or throwing powered transitions, the CRAVE delivers fast steering, clean drift, and real control.
Choose A-Series if: You want maximum responsiveness and low-end feel for wave and freestyle flow.
Choose Pro Dacron if: You’re building skills in the surf or want an accessible high-performance kite.

Versions:
-
A-Series: Full ALUULA airframe for unmatched stiffness and efficiency

Choose Pro Dacron if: You want the same wing feel with added toughness for learning, travel, or schools.
TEMPEST
Use: Big Air / Performance Freeride
Who It’s For:
You ride hard, boost high, and want a board that responds instantly. The carbon/basalt layup gives it explosive pop and locked-in edge control.
SURGE

Who It’s For:
Riders who want smooth control, easy upwind drive, and fun, forgiving pop. Perfect for progression or casual freestyle sessions.
MAKO
Use: Freeride / Carving / All-Terrain
Who It’s For:
You want a different feel — something smooth, fast, and surf-inspired. The Mako is a one-board quiver that handles chop, speed, and deep carving better than anything else.
