Freestyle & Wakestyle Kites
Freestyle and wakestyle demand more from a kite than almost any other discipline. Freestyle riders need sharp pop, precise feedback, and a clean slack window for unhooked tricks — the kind of predictability that lets you stop thinking about the kite and focus entirely on the move. Wakestyle takes it further, relying on board pop and low kite positions that put everything on your technique and nerve. The kites here are built for both. They’re responsive, durable, and dialed for riders who are chasing progression with intent. Not sure which style fits where you're at? Reach out and we'll help you figure out the right direction.

Freestyle and Wakestyle Kite FAQs
What's the main difference between freestyle and wakestyle kiteboarding?
Honestly, when it comes to overall perception, the two are interchanged frequently. The main difference is that freestyle kiteboarding focuses on lift to perform unhooked and kiteloop tricks. Wakestyle riding has the kite sit lower to the water and the board creates the lift with a "load and pop" motion.
Should beginners try freestyle or wakestyle riding?
Of the two, freestyle is more beginner-friendly. Once you've mastered basic kite control and upwind riding, go ahead and start trying hooked-in tricks. Wakestyle is more advanced and requires serious board skills and comfort riding in boots. Our opinion? Start with freestyle and then see where you're kiting takes you!
Can I use the same board for freestyle and wakestyle?
Technically, yes. However, freestyle boards are often focused on responsiveness for unhooked tricks in straps. Wakestyle boards are stiffer with boot inserts made to handle serious abuse. If you're committed to wakestyle riding, a dedicated board will be well worth the upgrade.
