No wing has shaped the kite industry more than the Switchblade. A mass-produced kite that has not only brought tons of people to this sport, but also offers professionals the perfect platform to constantly push their performance - up to numerous world championship titles, World records and podium finishes.
As part of the 02 collection, the Switchblade received another performance boost. The revised, restructured bridle ensures an even lighter feeling in flight and faster turning behavior. A lighter, faster kite is easier to steer, offers better control over jumps and is more versatile. Its stable 5-strut frame makes the Switchblade a star, especially in high wind areas - this is where its legendary boost and hangtime come into their own.
