In Focus: FLYSURFER Kiteboarding Foil Kites 2018 Product Overview

In 2001, four friends set off on a journey, based on their PASSION for paragliding and kiting, and propelled by their enthusiasm and shared a goal of advancing their sports. Filled with visions, they found Skywalk GmbH & Co. KG and open up shop on the beautiful Chiemsee in southern Bavaria. The fledgeling company quickly becomes the home of three brands: Paramarine, Skywalk Paragliders, and FLYSURFER Kiteboarding.

The initial kite lines are defined by revolutionary, patented innovations including a self-filling system with effective air intake valves, a depower system through profile adjustment, as well as an automatic relaunch. Holding power is not present on the first bar. Additionally, the MASTER high-performance wing is offered in a 16-square-meter size, showing the industry right from the beginning where the FLYSURFER technology really shines: in light-wind conditions.

Right from the beginning, it is understood that one of the pillars that FLYSURFER will be built upon is the promise of QUALITY.
