The Bandit 3 has a brand new design with a higher aspect ratio, a new profile, a deeper C shape, and bigger fully segmented struts. We have also shortened the bridle which is now attached to four points on the kite and equipped with three pulleys. All four lines have the same length and the V on the front lines is longer. On top of that the Bandit 3 only requires one pump and includes a new stainless steel UPS HP integrating the life line clipping on the bar when riding unhooked. The Bandit 3 retains all the qualities and innovations of the Delta C Shape such as the auto relaunch the EVO bridle system and the lifeline (acting as a fifth line on a four lined kite).

Zeeko is proud to announce a new kite concept for the light wind.
As you can see, from the last two years, we can note the development of new ranges boards (raceboards and Foil boards). These performant boards provide a really good low end and now it is possible to ride with a 14m kite in less than 9knots.

You've asked for it: a pure, unbridled, tried and tested c-kite.
You've seen it: the all-black, all-team kite with the two silver fish.
And now we're giving it to you: the exact same kite worshipped and ridden by our team riders.
At Best Kiteboarding, as much as we believe that progression in kite design will come from Delta and SLE designs, we're still committed to making as many riders as happy as we possibly can. So if that means giving a dedicated and diehard section of the market a C-kite with the Fish on it, then that's what we're going to do.
To be perfectly clear, this is not a new design. There is nothing new about this kite at all. No new technology, no bells and whistles, there's nothing user-friendly about it whatsoever. Hell, we're not even printing sizes on the wingtips (and that%u2019s not open for discussion). This is the exact same kite we give our team riders. no kite patch, no pump, no fancy bag... a no-nonsense C-kite for hard-core wakestyle and competition freestyle ... and if it's good enough for them, maybe, just maybe, it's good enough for you too. Quite simply, it%u2019s the best C-kite we ever made.
If you already ride C-kites, then this is the kite for you, but if you don't, this is not an invitation to start now, so consider yourself warned. Scared yet? You should be. This kite kicks ass. The new, all-old school Team Yarga.

The 2010 Vegas is a classic C-shape with a pure C feel and massive pop for radical new-school freestyle. Building on the best points of the ’08 and ’09, the ‘10 Vegas has the classic feel you’ve come to expect from one of the world’s most popular freestyle kites with added benefits.
Designed specifically for freestyle riding, no compromises were made towards developing a kite with the performance potential necessary for tackling today’s most technical new-school tricks. Further development of the 5th element system, allowed us to develop a true C kite with great stability and rock-solid power, combined with maximum safety and de-power abilities. Reduced canopy segments and special construction translates into smooth, intuitive and playful turning characteristics that are easily recognized in kite loops where the kite climbs back up overhead for controlled landings. Our most homogenous Vegas line ever. All sizes offer an incredibly similar feeling in both turning speed and bar load, requiring nearly no adjustment time when switching kite sizes.
Two trim options allow you to set up your Vegas in either “Classic” or “New-school” modes. Classic freestyle mode provides high de-power and gives you the most versatile range for doing big jumps, un-hooked freestyle and even venturing into the surf. New-school mode gives you less de-power, extreme stability while unhooking and less sensitive bar reaction for doing loaded power moves. Simply put, the Vegas is the ultimate freestyle kite with explosive pop to elevate your riding to new levels and to refine your style.
Vegas, we play the music!

The new 09 signature model Hadlow Pro has been designed specifically for the needs of the 5x world champion PKRA kitesurfer Aaron Hadlow. We've worked tirelessly over the past year - tweaking, tuning and improving the 08 AHPRO design, to improve the kites performance which is already likened to an F1 car.
The performance enhancement seen with the new 09 design is impressive. Aaron specifically wanted us to improve the larger kites ability to drive quickly to the top of the window during the kiteloop. This has been achieved, the new kite races to the top of the window enabling massive powered driving megaloop and with predictable responsive control and soft landing.
We've also improved the kites re-launch ability, reduced the weight, made the kite stronger and improved the bar feedback. You know where the kite is and what it is doing at any given time. These improvements have helped Aaron achieve what no kitesurfer has ever done before; win five consecutive PKRA world titles and become the world's undisputed best freestyle kiteboarder.
The new AH Pro is the kite of choice for the advanced freestyle rider who is looking to push their level of riding and are looking for a kite that will not hold them back, they're designed for the fearless and the brave - have you got what it takes?!

Finally, the waiting is over. After two years of R&D, North Kiteboarding introduces a new school kite – the BUZZ.
The Buzz meets all the requirements of beginners. Briskly pulling the bar does not immediately result in a jump over the dunes. When the kite lands on the water or on the ground, relaunch requires no active intervention from the rider. Instead, its auto-relaunch makes it crawl to the edge of the wind window where it waits for a launching impulse from the pilot. Large Dacron surfaces, Kevlar reinforcements and a new strut construction protect the kite in the rough environment of kite schools.
The Buzz has a very wide wind range and is able to water relaunch at only a few Beaufort. The simple four-line bar also contributes to making the introduction to kiteboarding safe and easy as never be.
