Dynamic Rebound
Stiffness requires optimal air pressure to avoid flexibility under high load and stress situations. This is crucial for take-offs and increases the dynamic rebound to receive an explosive pop. The AVID uses two push-push Air Valves to maximise stiffness and maintain sail tension.

Design Concept
The unique design concept of the AVID combines a pointy outline with medium aspect ratio and a centered point of lift. The wing features higher back arm pressure for Re-Engagement and let you rotate freely on all axes. Fast and responsive on reach and downwind tracks, stable in free flight. Accessible performance with an extremely playful and light feel at all times.

Performance Features
Locked-in feel at full speed
Unwavering stability when it matters most. The AVID stays perfectly balanced even when you are fully powered, delivering a locked-in sensation that inspires confidence at high speeds, whether you are charging downwind or holding it together on the reach. The wing tracks like it is on rails – no unwanted roll, no surprises. Just pure, controlled acceleration for riders who love to push limits.
Responsive re-engagement
Maximum control, instant power. The AVID reacts in a split second as soon as you sheet in: power returns immediately, making transitions and tricks smooth and intuitive. Precise steering ensures accurate responses for jumps and rotations, while the ergonomic design with reduced arm pressure delivers relaxed handling. More dynamics, less fatigue – for riders who want to perfect every move.

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.

What is UPE Aramid?
- Extreme tensile strength (up to 15x stronger than steel by weight)
- Very low density (floats on water, ~0.97 g/cm³)
- Outstanding abrasion resistance and low friction.
- Excellent chemical resistance and UV stability
What are Aramid fibers?
- High tensile strength (3 – 3.6 GPa)
- Exceptional heat resistance (up to 500°C)
- Abrasion and impact resistance
- Low elongation under load, making them ideal for structural rigidity
Why combine UPE and Aramid?
- Ultra-light (~85 g/m², about half the weight of Dacron).
- Extremely stiff (8 PSI equals the rigidity of standard Dacron at 15 PSI)
- Deformation-resistant (blocks stretch under load)
- Highly durable (tear-resistant, low water absorption)
What are the UPE Aramid Frame advantages?
- Ultra-lightweight: At just ~85 g/m², UX10 is nearly half the weight of standard Dacron.
- Extreme stiffness: Maintains canopy shape under load for precise handling and explosive pop.
- Durability: Resistant to UV, abrasion, and moisture – built for harsh marine environments.
