This lightweight frame significantly enhances the range and performance of your product, giving you an unparalleled kiteboarding experience.

HTD LITE
HTD Lite marks the next significant advancement in inflatable structures. By merging the proven benefits of HTD material, which offers superior elongation control, with a lighter-weight construction and exceptional reflex bias recovery, we have created an innovative product that takes response characteristics and kite range to new heights.

SPRINT 3.0
The air flow from the leading edge to the strut experiences a significant boost with the major upgrade to the Sprint 3.0 inflation system. The introduction of straight and angled valves eliminates any kinking of the inflation tube and ensures easy maintenance through the secure fit design. The result is a smoother and more efficient inflation process, leading to a remarkable improvement in air flow from the leading edge to the strut.

BULLET PROOF BUMPERS
Introducing our latest innovation, the Bulletproof bumpers. Crafted from robust yet lightweight TPU material, these durable bumpers provide an all-around protective shield for your kite, safeguarding everything from the canopy to the LE sewing. Moreover, our state-of-the-art manufacturing process helps minimize abrasion when the kite is resting on hard surfaces, making it even more resilient and long-lasting.
