Freestyle & Wakestyle Kites
Freestyle riders want sharp pop, precise feedback, and a kite that gives the perfect slack window for unhooked tricks. Wakestyle is the tougher cousin, driven by board pop and low kite positions that demand power, grit, and strong landings. If you are chasing progression with attitude, you will find it in one of these styles. Which side will you conquer today?

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.
