About this kite

The Zephyr pioneered the dedicated light-wind category and the V8 keeps it at the front: enormous low-end power, easy handling for its size and upwind drive that makes ten knots a real session. The Ultra-X build sheds weight exactly where oversize kites need it most. When others wait, Zephyr riders ride.
