The HyperModel was developed in collaboration between Reedin and Brainchild. Ralf Groesel, Damien Girardin, and Kevin Langeree all contributed to its design with their combined years of experience.

At the 2025 King of the Great Lakes event on Lake Michigan, the MACkiteboarding crew got an early look at one of the most interesting new concepts to hit kiteboarding in a while—the Reedin SnackPack. On paper, it sounds almost too simple to be compelling—combine a surfboard and a twin tip into one board. But once you start digging into the “why” behind it, and more importantly, how it rides, it becomes clear this is something different. The SnackPack isn’t tr …

The Reedin WhisperModel makes some impressive claims for light wind riding. Jeff decided to put it all on the line and rigged up, heading out on a twintip in just 9-11 knots. So, are these claims fact or just a flaunt? Not only was he able to get up and ride, but he could even tack back upwind in choppy bumps. He had to stay focused, but he came ashore where he put in, no Walk of Shame required. It would seem that the Whisper is a win in light wind. Shop Kites MACkite Subscription Lin …

Jeff had a chance to catch up with Kevin Langeree at the Reedin tent at KoGL to chat about the brand new 2026 MasterModel big air kite. Damien had been wanting to design a 5-strut kite, but they were just too heavy to achieve the turning speed, lift, and hangtime he was looking for. Now, with the weight-reducing technologies developed by Brainchild, that vision has finally become a reality. Who Is the MasterModel For? Before you write this off as a high-performance kite that's just for t …

When you open the box, you'll find your two bindings, of course, and a baggie containing just one piece of hardware. Don't panic- that's the spare. …

If you've had the chance to foil on a wave, then you know what it's like to float on a cloud. It's an amazing feeling that'll keep pulling you back to the water every chance you get. Those sessions are all about getting on as many waves as you can, whether they're overhead ocean waves, lake swell, or bumps on a reservoir, and a good wing is going to get you where you need to be and then hang patiently out of the way. There are a lot of wing choices in 2025. Although we're only a few years …

Reedin's SuperNatural wing is back for 2025. Last year's model was a shop favorite, so how does the 2025 version hold up?
