Technical Features
Licensed for Olympics 2028
Officially licensed Formula Kite product for the 2028 Olympic cycle. A pure racing foil kite for professional athletes, both women and men.
Five Constructions
Every size (9/11/15/19/21) has its own dedicated construction. 2-level design on 15/19/21, 3-level on 11 and 4-level on 9 — each tuned to its operating window.
Hydro-Tech Construction
Pocket improvements for rigid foils on the leading edge, integrated fiberglass rods and reinforced bridle attachment points. Material mix: Myungjin MJ27 LE and Dominico 10D sail, TX-light on the 9 m.
Low-Drag Dyneema/Aramid Bridle
Redimensioned bridle lines with a Dyneema and Aramid mix in varying sizes — minimal drag and maximum efficiency on the race course.
Performance Parameters
Maximum VMG
Increased aspect ratio and expanded projected area. Improved upwind and downwind performance over VMG². Tactical freedom to lead or overtake rivals without forcing a specific riding style.
Significant Weight Savings
Up to 460 g saved on 19/21, 340 g on 15, 250 g on 9 and 180 g on 11 compared to the predecessor — thanks to new sailcloth and internal structures.
Specialized Competition Equipment
Highly specialized Formula Kite for professionals — every size fully optimized to its operating window to maximize performance and wind range.
Activated Brake Level Z
Sizes 9 and 11 feature an activated brake level Z with a robust Aramid bridle configuration — stabilizes the sail and improves downwind handling and control in strong wind.
Who is VMG3 for
Formula Kite Racers

Light Wind Specialists
VMG3 21 gets men on the water from 5 knots in freerace. Huge pull with minimal drag — ride while others wait on the beach.
