Why choose a foil kite over a classic inflatable? Flysurfer has been manufacturing foil kites since 2001 and over 24 years has developed technology that surpasses LEI kites in many ways.
1. Light wind — you ride when others stand
Foil kites generate pull from as little as 6 knots. In Czech conditions, that means 2-3x more rideable days per season.
2. Relaunch — no pumping
Modern Flysurfer foil kites have a perfect relaunch. Unpack, attach the bar, and ride.
3. Travel — fits in carry-on luggage
PEAK6 weighs 1.2 kg and fits into a backpack. For kite trips, it is a game changer.
4. Snow kiting
On snow, the foil kite has no competition. HYBRID2 is designed specifically for snow kiting.
5. Safety
Foil kites have slower bar pressure and forgive mistakes. SOUL3 is popular at kite schools worldwide.
