Specifically optimized for light wind conditions, this kite's super-low aspect design delivers substantial low-end power. Its wide wind range allows for longer sessions on the water as wind conditions change.
Unlike many one-strut kites that suffer from flutter in higher winds, the Mono is designed to minimize flutter using premium materials, a unique canopy profile, and a wide chord depth. Its reduced weight provides thrilling performance in the air. In light winds, the Mono offers incredible drift and hang time, while its low aspect nature makes backstalling nearly impossible. This makes it an excellent choice for beginners. Advanced riders will appreciate the impressive handling and quick bar response.

Travelers who prioritize minimizing weight will find this kite perfect for their needs. Its forgiving nature makes it suitable for riders of varying abilities, from beginners to experts. Instant relaunch capability ensures riders spend more time kiting and less time in the water. The 2022 Mono represents a significant advancement, solidifying its position as the best one-strut kite on the market. Don't settle for substitutes; ride the Mono!
The kite's construction allows for a controlled distribution of forces between the strut and leading edge. Struts are connected to the leading edge using a flexible Dyneema line, promoting higher canopy tension and a clean profile.
Special pigtails are employed to distribute load evenly across the line connections, reducing fatigue and minimizing kite distortion. This design also facilitates smooth steering.
The kite features kook-proof line connection points to prevent accidents during rigging. These points ensure that lines cannot be accidentally connected incorrectly.
The leading edges of all kites are extremely durable, thanks to a heavy-duty closing seam. The Dacron material at the leading edge is reinforced with self-sticky Insignia Tape and double stitching. This Heavy Duty Leading Edge Closing Seam can withstand high tensions and diagonal forces.
To prevent line tangling around the kite's tip, an Anti Snag webbing system is employed. This feature not only facilitates easier waterstarts but also increases safety.
