Crave Airframe
The Crave Pro Dacron mirrors the A-Series airframe geometry exactly - swapping ALUULA for rugged Dacron reinforcements to deliver the same wave-carving, freestyle-snapping response at a no-compromise price.
Dacron overlays and full strut panels run leading edge to tips, with a wingtip-to-wingtip shock strip doubling tensile strength over standard builds. This locks in faster turns, rock-solid stability through slop, and handling that eats onshore chaos or trick loads.
Three-strut balance matches A-Series lightness, while owning massive wind range and insane backstall/luff resistance in lulls or oversheets. Precision-curved to the Crave shape, Quad Lock stitching takes endless punishment.
Crave Shape
Specifically designed to be a wave and strapless freestyle hybrid, the Crave has a moderate sweep and an open C arch, providing maximum flying control even when the kite is at the extreme edges of the window.
The Crave's aspect ratio delivers a perfect balance of drift and upwind performance with lightning quick relaunches.

Your Daily Freestyle Driver
Progress isn't a straight line - it’s a series of heavy impacts. Whether you’re tightening your loops or mastering strapless 360s, you need a kite that rewards ambition and survives the learning curve.
But don't mistake this as a purely entry-level kite. The Crave Pro Dacron is a tactical choice for the rider who:
- Prioritises Durability: You’re in the water every day, self-launching on rough beaches, and pushing your limits in the surf.
- Wants a Connected Feel: The Dacron build provides a slightly more dampened, tactile feel in the air—giving you total confidence in where the kite is during a rotation.
- Needs a One-Kite Setup: From foiling in light wind to looping in a gale, the Crave is our most adaptable platform for the multi-discipline rider.
