Airush Kites 2005

Our mainstream high performance kites Lift and Flow, have been optimized with increased handling and power delivery that allow the next level of advancement for progressive riders and expert pros alike.

We're stoked to present the Pilot, an all-rounder with solid and stable handling for those who want the ultimate in rider confidence and ease of use.

Finally we unleash the all-new Reactor, Airush's industry showpiece designed for the elite of the elite, proving how far we can push the technology of kite physics!

 

 

 

Reactor - Welcome to the latest in aerospace technology morphed with hardcore aggression tamed by only the very elite. Built incredibly light, with super efficient entry angles and aerodynamic foil profiles it's all about forward speed and dynamic efficiency. The Reactor has lightning reactions to wind conditions and even faster turning speeds. Riders with the required skill and agility will love the challenge of this supreme speedster. Once mastered the Reactors explosive acceleration and jumping ability will allow you to execute the most extreme moves.

Lift - Born to perform, the Lift remains the benchmark for efficiency, and as the name implies, huge altitude! Powering up in the lightest of winds it locks out and drives, flying effortlessly while responding quickly to fingertip pressure.

The Lift offers a perfect blend of pivotal and power turning, the kite turns quickly in the window and injects precise power suited to the most aggressive riding styles. The same characteristics allow it to fly further forward in the window, giving a remarkable upwind edge. Always composed, this kite inspires confidence to explore the full wind range and your own abilities.

"So much range, so smooth, so light and easy, I could not believe it was possible"
Julian Sudrat. 1st KPWT Les Sable D'Olone

Flow - We've tweaked last year's top-selling model and delivered the ultimate freeride kite for riders with an appetite for progression. This new breed flies slightly forward in the window and charges upwind with precise handling and efficiency. The Flow gives the response and control needed to unleash the radical manoeuvres that characterize the new school of kiteboarding.

The defining performance factor of the Flow is its great hangtime and pivotal turning (this defines it significantly from the lift). Pivotal turning ensures quick turning in the center of the window with a more gradual increase in power generated from the turn. With such wide-ranging appeal the Flow excites beginners, every day freeride rippers and many of Airush's pro-riders.

"Such a positive and easy kite to handle makes it possible to pull off the sickest moves effortlessly"
Neil Hilder. 3rd BKSA Topflight 03

Pilot - The Pilot gives all the response, stability and speed that any rider could ask for. The outline and shape profile combine to make the Pilot a balanced kite that will make any level of kiting a breeze.

We've worked hard with schools, distributors and our pro riders to create a well-behaved kite, with a smooth pivotal turning arc that really excels in gusty and less than ideal, real world conditions. This is the easiest kite in our range, fun for every rider and represents great value for money.

"The Pilot gives such a solid performance in such a wide range of conditions that it is the one kite in the range that does everything a kite can be asked to do"

Square - Kiteboarding is always challenging but especially when you are beginning.

The Squares are stable, comfortable and efficient platforms with plenty of volume, that allow you to concentrate on kite-flying, and gliding upwind with ease. Many schools and resorts, rate time on the forgiving SQ1 as essential. Progressive learners enjoy the benefits of the smaller SQ2, and after building skills, the SQ3 is a fun, reactive ride that continues to satisfy, even for experts in light winds.

Wake Styles - Well suited for aggressive intermediates to pro-riders, this cutting-edge, hardcore series is designed for big-move pioneers who are pushing through the ceiling of the sport. With an emphasis on build-strength, these boards edge very positively with a locked-in feel, allowing explosive pop and dynamic carving.

Wake Convert
Supplied with optional footpads and straps the Wake Convert can be set up as a standard twin tip, or full-wrap boots can be mounted directly onto the deck for full-on wakeboard use. This mainstay wakestyle board of Felix Pivec is large enough to be practical, offers excellent control under heavy loadings, as well as instant pop for aerial moves. Designed to be ridden powered it is a hardcore version of a mainstream twin tip for those who ride with a great deal of energy.

Wake Bullet

When you really want to rip your secret flat water spot, Airush's smallest board should be your choice. Packing surprising punch, and a massive rooster tail when lit, this is a super-fun to ride, especially as the whitecaps increase. When pushed this finless board will hold it's own against huge amounts of power, and with virtually no swing weight underfoot, will allow for fast, unhindered rotations and sharp, controlled moves.

Wake skate
With no straps at all, just a raised kicker tail and all over grip deck grip, there are no rules whatsoever for this pure skatestyle board. Together with your vision, this board will enable you to emulate even the sickest skate moves on the water. Aimed at freestylers with skate style aspirations, this board also excels for heavier riders in light winds offering a small board feel with big board early riding.

Sidewinder - Riders around the world are re-discovering the efficiency of boards that are optimised to go backwards extremely well, and forwards even better. Our Sidewinders are a well thought-out range that redefines the stubby / mutant board style.

Key benefits are brilliant upwind drive, enormous power range and a smooth, rail to rail carving feel. 3D-shaped rails ensure stability under load without the 'locked in' feel of traditional mutants.

With ultra-thin, flexy, composite PVC construction, both sizes can take a beating and appeal to intermediates with waveriding ambitions to advanced pro-riders demanding serious wave performance, plus twin-tip trickery potential at all times.

The 128 comes with four assymetric CAD fins while the 148 enjoys a powerful six-fin configuration.
