Big Air dominated the week across both gear announcements and rider rosters. Jamie Overbeek formalised his setup by signing with the Duotone international team after competing independently on the brand's kites. Naish introduced the 2027 Psycho NVision, entering the specialised high-wind market with ultrasonic welded seams designed for extra rigidity and strength. Meanwhile, Hugo Wigglesworth reflected on defending his men's Hydrofoil Big Air world title at the GKA Kite World Cup Sylt, where he secured the crown for the second consecutive year. In production news, Ozone set a hard deadline of 16 November to halt manufacturing for both the Hyperlink V4 foil kite and the lightweight Alpha V3 Ultra-X, leaving shops with a narrow window to place remaining orders.

About the publisher
KitesurfingOfficial
KitesurfingOfficial is made by people who actually kite. We have spent years in the scene, on the beaches, at the events and behind the camera, and we built this platform to give riders one honest home for all of it: spots, gear, athletes, jobs and news. Our team checks facts before they go live, links every story to its source and writes the way riders talk. And if the wind is good, publishing can wait a few hours. You know how it is.
