Technical Features
Swept-back outline
The key redesign feature is a more swept-back outline. The newly shaped wingtip curves noticeably improve recovery after jumps by creating a second lift, enhance depower capability, and result in smoother, more controlled turning.
High aspect ratio
The aspect ratio was increased from 5.1 to 5.5 – 5.9. The result: significantly more hangtime, better vertical lift, and a longer, more efficient flight path.
Steep arc
The optimized arc with a pronounced C-shape gives the kite an aggressive profile for precise steering and clean power delivery. Reinforcements and attachment points have been redesigned to save weight without sacrificing durability – perfect for intense high-wind sessions.
Durable material mix
The ERA² relies on proven premium materials like Dacron and Teijin D2. Fewer panels mean reduced weight and improved airflow over the canopy. The result is a powerful, efficient kite with long-lasting structure – built for maximum stress at peak performance.
Perfomance Features
Accessibility and control
Despite its high performance, the ERA² remains accessible: direct bar feedback, precise control, and improved depower – even in strong winds. Ideal for hardcore Big Air riders and experienced freeriders looking to level up.
Remarkable turning ability with precise steering
The kite responds instantly to input, initiates turns early at the wingtips, and maintains a consistent arc. It accelerates aggressively in gusts, flying closer to the edge of the wind window – delivering both speed and precise timing for take-offs.
Ready for extremes
Whether it’s a 40 knot storm or a double loop into the horizon, the ERA² is your tool for extreme Big Air sessions. It combines explosive lift with pinpoint control, giving you confidence in brutal conditions. Tested and tuned in Cape Town by our top athletes – ready for anything you throw at it.
Reliable downloop for easy landings
The second lift during downloops is a highlight – thanks to the new outline, the kite generates lift at the critical moment before landing, allowing for controlled landings even after huge airs.
Use Cases
Uncompromising Big Air
Maximum boost, precise control, and radical loops. With extended top-end, explosive lift, and impressive hangtime, you’ll have more airtime to showcase your best tricks. The second lift allows for smooth landings after megaloops, while the refined bridle ensures agility and stability in all conditions.
High-Performance Freeride
Want to push in every corner of the wind window? The ERA² rewards your effort with direct bar feedback and sporty handling. Perfect for advanced riders who crave controlled power and that next-level adrenaline rush – whether at your local spot or in Cape Town conditions.
Hydrofoil Freestyle
Experienced hydrofoilers benefit from the responsiveness and flight speed of the ERA². Use its acceleration to play with gusts, practice loops, and evolve your style. Especially in stronger winds, this kite shows its full potential.

The wind range chart is to be used as a point of reference. It is based on a rider who weighs around 75kg (165lbs). Actual use will vary depending on your weight, skill level, board size/type (twintip or hydrofoil) and wind conditions on water or land. When choosing a kite size, always use common sense and repeatedly choose a smaller size if you are not sure, especially when using the kite on land.
