Helium3 by Switch Kiteboarding

[effisk]

So the new version of the lightwind kite by Switch is now in stock in sizes 7, 8, 10 and 16 (9,12,14,18 to come).

I mainly ride in the waves, and in light breeze in the summer (usually 15 knots max), and I also ride a foilboard when the waves are gone.

I ride the Element5 (and now E6), which works great for both surfing and foiling, but having a kite specifically developed for light wind riding in the waves should be a game changer. Can't wait to put my hands on it!

Interested!

Have you noticed the wind range is shifted forward relative to the Element v6? Why is that?
I would expect to be the other way around.

Probably because charts are based on a twintip rider. For foil boarding you just need a kite to stay in the air, it doesn’t need to deliver much power.
