Freeride Kites
Freeriding in the kiteboarding world involves keeping things simple, fun, and accessible. Think of cruising back and forth, riding toeside, and occasionally popping a few jumps. Many riders fall into this category after they've learned to ride upwind, making freeriding the go-to style for both beginner and intermediate kiters. It's the ideal starting point to naturally progress to other riding styles, like wakestyle and freestyle.

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.
