The kite that spawned the freeride revolution of kitesurfing and opened up the doors to many new kiters around the world moves into its 16th year and the next step of evolution to this incredibly versatile design.
The introduction of the Hybrid Frame and HTD Lite materials has increased not only the range of one of the most adaptable kites in the industry, but also, it’s performance. Through the lighter frame and strategically placed materials, the kite is now quicker to respond to rider input allowing for not only increased maneuverability in lighter winds, but also control and responsiveness in higher winds.
The new direct bridle with its low drag materials also help move this kite into an all new realm of performance.

"Confidence. Thats the first feeling I get when flying a Switchblade in any sort of conditions. Pat Goodman has put his finest work into this new design, pulleyless, supercharged switchblade. From light wind, to gusty and gnarly conditions, I always feel in control and able to commit to whatever discipline I’m into, from freestyle, to looping or riding a surfboard, its the one kite I can fly eyes closed and always know where it is and how it is going to react." – Alby Rondina
