Thanks to the lighter frame and strategically placed materials, the kite now responds more quickly to the rider's inputs, allowing not only better maneuverability in lighter winds, but also control and responsiveness in stronger winds.The new, direct bridle with its low-drag materials also helps take this kite to a completely new performance dimension.

AGAINST AETHER PERFORMANCE LIGHTWIND / FREERIDE SIZES: 3 / 4 / 5 / 7 / 9 / 11There is something truly liberating and free about riding a hydrofoil. This is compounded when you are able to sail in winds you previously didn't think possible. Conditions where the water is still and the only sound is the apparent wind in your ears as you glide across the ocean.The Contra Aether has proven itself as a benchmark in the field of single strut kites. A kite that not only lets you explore those threshold winds, but also keeps you in control when the wind picks up or you change your board choice.The single strut design and use of Hybrid Frame and HRD Lite materials give you an incredibly maneuverable and lightweight kite to fly, allowing you to use much smaller product sizes to maximize the true potential of foilboarding. Featherweight control and amazing drifting properties allow you to focus on your riding and not the kite.

As the name suggests, the Drifter is synonymous with drift and stability. When you put it in position and ride the wave down the line, the kite gives you 100% confidence. You can fully concentrate on the wave in front of you instead of losing your focus on the kite controls.  But the Drifter offers much more than that. It is the first series kite to achieve the triple loop and is therefore definitely at home in higher air layers. This Lite Series kite is the most responsive drifter kite ever. It allows you to place the kite where you want it. Whether you're flying strapless big airs, surfing a fearsome point break down the line or riding the wind swell.  The Drifter will always deliver what you ask of him.
