DRIFTER – WIND RANGE CHART BELOW
In the break away sector of Kite Surfing, there is one kite which hides its technology behind its simplicity. The Drifter’s minimal 3 strut design both hides and illuminates its brilliance. The three well placed struts keep the profile of the kite intact through constant angle of attack changes while reducing the weight. This light weight but durable kite is dedicated to surf, yet it shines as a freestyle kite for wakeskating, skimboarding or flat water freestyle. While surfing hooked or unhooked the Drifter makes the most of its excellent slack line drift ability. Slack line drift is the kite’s ability to stay aloft even when the lines are temporarily slackened by depowering. But the Drifter’s main beauty lies in its simplicity. We’ve pushed the complicated technology into the background so that all you have to think about is how you’re going to tear apart the next wave.

2012 Nomad
In 2012 the Nomad kite gets refinements which now make it a dedicated Freestyle kite. Our goal was to take its landmark turning speeds and unhooked abilities one step further. The result is a highly tuned kite which keeps its forward flying speed up even when unhooked. You can count on a constant steady pull whether you are passing or just throwing a massive ralley. When it comes to kite looping the Nomad delivers. The Nomad accelerates its power when flying through the radius of a kite loop. Big or small the Nomad completes the loop with plenty of time to climb to the zenith to cushion your landing. Its no wonder that the Nomad is the pro’s choice for world tour level Freestyle competition.

The Crossbow LW is a breakaway performance kite in the light wind kiteboarding arena. The Crossbow LW has reduced struts and a specific profile set to deliver optimum performance in the conditions known as threshold winds. Threshold winds are the wind speeds where kiteboarding just becomes possible.

Whether you are serious about light wind racing or serious about having fun in fickle light wind conditions, the Crossbow LW is the kite for you.
