Whilst the principal focus for most manufacturers has been on performance-oriented kites, a few
companies have realised that user-friendly starter products are the way forward to encourage fresh
new blood into our sport. Airush have been one such company, and really excelled in this area of
the market.
The principal designer Ben Serverne has thrown caution to the wind and produced a 3-strut kite that
really is stable; a cinch to fly but performing to a level way beyond that of a pure beginner kite - and
it's not heavy on the bank balance either. The beauty of the 3-strut system from a lazy man's point of
view, is of course that there's less of the inflating and deflating to do! Everything about this product
has been well thought out and it water re-launches so easily that putting this kite in the water is
simply not a problem.
The standard bar supplied is a fixed 4 line system that can be converted to the ride and slide
chicken loop system.
