Why You Will Love It:

• Construction & materials - The leading edge is made from high-density Dacron, providing exceptional torsional stiffness and structural integrity while keeping weight to a minimum. Combined with its hybrid shape, the kite maintains a balanced power profile and steady pull, even in gusty or side-offshore conditions. Designed with triple ripstop fabric and reinforced leading edge seams, the YES is built to withstand hard crashes and long sessions. Minimal stretch, high durability, and consistent tension distribution allow for superior shape retention across the wind window.
• Freeride Focus - The YES 3-strut kite is a high-performance, all-round freeride machine, purpose-built for riders who want one kite to do it all. From riding waves to high jumps or cruising across choppy water, the YES thrives in every terrain. Its refined design delivers responsive handling, structural stability, and intuitive feedback, making it a reliable weapon of choice in any session.
• Flight Characteristics - Engineered with a moderate to high aspect ratio and a finely tuned short bridle system, the kite delivers lightning-quick turning and direct bar feedback with a very linear power input. The aspect ratio is balanced to make the kite easy and forgiving, while still maintaining excellent performance in terms of hang-time, boosting and second lift. Its smooth power delivery and tight loop radius make it ideal for aggressive freeride maneuvers, high jumps, wave riding, or foil sessions.
