The Lift Pro was born as the flagship of the range, a no compromise performance oriented kite that had but one agenda; speed, performance and lift. A kite to push the physical limits of kitesufing way in excess of anything experienced before. For 2004 the Lift Pro goes further, improved stability, less weight, more lift, speed, response and wind range. It is a kite dedicated to the experienced offering the ultimate aerodynamics for those who want to push the boundaries of kitesurfing. Its fine profile ensures that the kite sits as far forward in the window as physically possible; with remarkable efficiency the cruising speed of the Lift Pro is extremely high. Loaded and redirected the Lift Pro explodes into the air, flying higher than every before. Redirection is immediate and acceleration aggressive, resulting in soft hovered landings. The speed of the Lift Pro is so fast it creates its own apparent wind, enhancing the range of the kite in experts? hands even in the lightest of conditions. At the upper end of its wind range the profile lets the kite sit incredibly far forward resulting in a massive top end. Make no mistake, this is extreme performance kiting, a fast and aggressive kite, only for those who are experienced kiteboarders.

AIRUSH LIFT PRO 11.5M
The Lift Pro is more than a step on from the 2002 Lift. It's super efficient, generating huge vertical lift in the jumps whilst remaining light in the hands and easy to control with a short control bar. Our test riders were very impressed with the quick response to speed of input time and how easy it was to get the kite to the edge of the wind window. On the water, cruising speed was fast. Airush claim that the Lift Pro boosts in excess of 50% higher jumps than the previous years' Lifts. From our findings there would be no reason to disbelieve this claim whatsoever.

Airush LiftPro 15.5
The LIFT is breathtaking - this kite is made for hangtime freaks and it is so simple to control. You will allways know where it is and where it is moving. In the air, you will feel like your flying first class with the 15.5 m2. The Kite loves the stratosphere, but dislikes water, owing to the high aspect. The relaunch works only with a few tricks, but with the right skill, you can afford to drop it.
Suitable for: intermediate to experts (from 7 to 10 out of 10)
Flight characteristics: super fast (9 out of 10)
