Features
Full ALUULA Gold Airframe
Slashes nearly 50% weight versus standard Dacron builds. It snaps to input, pumps lift where 5-struts stall.
5-Strut High-Tension Stability
Unbreakable profile through gusts and load - zero flex, just total trust when you sheet hard.
Precision Steering & Response
Low swing weight pivots clean - effortless loops, fluid shifts, and bar feel that's dead-on.
Superior Low-End & Upwind Drive
Forward shape + light build drives strong from scraps, cruises back loaded for repeat sends.
Launch Edition Drop
Debut palette, zero compromises. Snag this OG before stock vanishes.
Big Air Beast Mode
Flite 5S A-Series Launch Edition loads like a cannon. The ALUULA airframe stays stiff under punishment, remains responsive for tight loops, agile for floaty hangtime - it's no fragile show pony, just vertical progression that sticks landings clean in mess.
WOO and Surfr bragging rights await those who dare.

Flite 5S A-Series Airframe
The Flite 5S A-Series is built around a full ALUULA Gold airframe, making it the lightest 5‑strut big air kite on the water. At around half the weight and many times the tensile strength of traditional materials, this ultra‑stiff composite lets the kite accelerate faster, react instantly to input, and hold its shape when you’re fully loaded.
The wide‑arc, high‑aspect 5‑strut frame spreads more canopy into the lift zone, reducing drag and driving huge vertical boost with long, floaty hangtime per square metre of kite. Tuned with smooth, predictable bar feedback, the ALUULA airframe keeps the Flite 5S stable in turbulent wind and easy to control whether you’re milking lightwind sessions or going full send in top‑end conditions.

Flite 5S A-Series Shape
The Flite A-Series contains a wide arc and large projected area to produce as much power per square meter as possible. With a high aspect ratio, you'll get greater lift while generating less drag.
THE ALUULA ADVANTAGE
A-Series is Ocean Rodeo peak tech for riders who settle for nothing less.
Hunt height: Unmatched lift-to-weight crushes leaderboards.
- Effortless handling: The light weight makes the kite feel two sizes smaller, reducing fatigue and increasing the fun factor every session.
- Competitive Edge: Marginal gusts? Lulls? This one stays sky-high when heavier kites are stuck on the beach.
