Features
High-Tenacity K-PE frame
The KPE frame locks the kite's profile rock-solid. Engineered to shrug off the stretch and sag that chew through bigger kites over brutal sessions.
Lightwind Power-On-Demand
Designed to generate massive pull in the lightest breeze, this kite turns marginal forecasts into full-blown sessions while others are stuck on the beach.
3-Strut Stability & Support
Perfectly balanced, this kite is lightwind float meets storm-kite steel. Kills canopy flutter, holds clean arc through high-load punishment.
Easy-Launch Leading Edge
Effortless roll back. The high-buoyancy Dacron frame and wing geometry make lulls irrelevant. Tips up and pops skyward before the shorebreak grabs it.
More Days. Less Waiting.
Light wind doesn’t have to mean a light-duty kite. The Flite 3S Pro Dacron takes our legendary Big Air geometry and reinforces it for the toughest conditions. By utilising a stiff K-PE Dacron frame, we’ve ensured that even at 17m, this kite maintains its structural integrity and snappy response.
It’s a grounded, powerful freeride machine that provides the lift and stability you need all in a package that thrives in the everyday grind.

Flite 3S Pro Dacron Airframe
The Flite 3S Pro Dacron uses a precision-engineered wide three-strut frame to maximise power from every square inch, giving you efficient pull and control for high-speed foil boarding and lightwind performance.
Built with a smart blend of Dacron materials, it delivers the balance of strength, agility, and durability that performance riders need. KP-E Dacron in the struts adds rigidity and long-term resilience, while Teijin Dacron in the leading edge helps reduce overall weight without sacrificing the responsive, performance-driven feel the Flite is known for.
This is a lightwind kite built for riders who want power, stability, and speed in a durable Pro Dacron construction.

Flite 3S Pro Dacron Shape
The Flite features a high aspect ratio to produce greater lift and while generating less drag for a kite that lifts you windward.
INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH BIG AIR
We didn’t just make it bigger; we made it tougher. The Flite 3S Pro Dacron is for the rider who needs a kite that works as hard as they do.
Structural Stiffness: At 12m and 17m, canopy tension is everything. Our Dacron build keeps the profile crisp for better sheet-and-go power.
- Everyday Reliability: From school use to rocky launches, this build is designed to be the most durable big kite in your quiver.
- Predictable Lift: The slightly higher weight compared to Aluula gives the Flite 3S a dampened, stable feel to build confidence in gusty freeride conditions.
