Freeride Kites
Freeriding is where most kiters spend the majority of their time — and for good reason. Cruising upwind, carving toeside, throwing casual jumps when the mood hits. No rulebook, no pressure, just good sessions. Freeride kites are built to make all of that effortless. They’re forgiving enough for intermediate riders still building confidence, capable enough that experienced riders never feel held back. They also serve as a natural bridge into wakestyle, freestyle, or big air when you're ready to push further. If you're not sure where freeride fits into your progression, reach out and we'll help you figure it out.

Freeride Kite FAQs
What makes a kite a "freeride kite"?
Freeride kites are often considered "all-around" or "do-it-all" styles. They have good balance to cover just about everything, with some limitations. You're ultimately looking for a balanced kite with stable handling, easy relaunch, and a wide wind range.
Who are freeride kiters?
Most beginners fall into the 'freeride' category. These kites are good for progression and control, so you're able to progress with a more forgiving profile. If you're not ready to commit to a specific discipline, freeride kites are the way to go.
Can I use a freeride kite for different riding styles?
Yes and no. While you can perform more advanced maneuvers with a freeride kite, you're probably better off finding a discipline-specific kite. If you're into wave performance or boosting, take a look at surfstyle and big air kites. Some have a blend of freeride and performance, so you're able to transition into your style a little easier.
