GEN 6 FLITE
Provides high-performance dynamic riding with big lofty jumps even in the lightest of wind
The Flite is the lightest Kite we’ve ever made, but don’t let that make you think it’s like every other light wind kite on the market. This kite isn’t just built to fly in light wind, it’s built to perform. Tested on the rocky Pacific Northwest waters, the Flite’s innovative construction still allows riders the chance to ride waves, boost big lofty jumps, and can build immense speed for those on a foil board. The Flite truly is the only high-performance light wind kite

GEN 6 PRODIGY
Designed to be a freeride kite that doesn’t compromise performance on waves and light winds
The Prodigy is our way of allowing you to do it all, with just one kite. We’ve innovatively designed our kite to perform in light winds, be able to take in waves and be able to boost lofty jumps, without having to compromise. Our Moderate Arc and 3 Strut design are what make this kite truly unique and enjoyable by kiters of all riding styles and skill levels.

RAZOR C / SLE
Narrow C shaped arc for ultra-fast turning and consistent power
Get ready to #Loopit! The Razor is for those who want the maximum return, unbelievably tight turns, and it’s innovative wingtip designs are optimized for mega kite loops. The Razor has been built Northwest Tough with new, lighter and more durable materials. Refined from our 6th generation to provide tighter turns, lightning-quick response, and uncompromising power allows freestyle riders to be more confident that this kite will be the one to unleash their inner beast without a second thought.

ROAM
Dedicated Wave Kite
The Roam’s 3 strut, large wingtip design makes it a dedicated wave kite like no other. The thick LE tube, combined with our use of KP-E DACRON and Teijin double ripstop allow this kite to provide session saving water relaunches. The deep foil profile in combination with a moderate arc provides for sharp responsive turns, maximum drift, and low-end power all with a large sheeting range.
