About this kite
The Lithium has anchored Airush's range for over a decade: intuitive, light at the bar, predictable in the air and stable through gusts. Its park-and-ride manners flatter beginners while its wind range keeps advanced riders honest. Few kites convert first-timers into loyalists this reliably.
