About this kite

Few kites carry as much history as the Switchblade — in continuous refinement since 2005. The five-strut hybrid delivers grunty low-end power, big predictable lift and rock-solid stability at the top of its range. It is the definition of dependable performance freeride: no surprises, season after season.
