Presentation
Introduced in 2017, the BREEZE is a “satellite” kite which comes as a complement to the BANDIT. Designed as the perfect light wind kite.
To make your sessions pefect, we wanted the BREEZE to be:
- Light to fly in less than 10 kts of wind
- Powerful to enable early planing
- Stable to prevent it from falling down in light winds and let you focus on your riding
- Able to depower to keep control as this is crucial for foil riding
- Designed with good control of your speed and acceleration
- Easy to re-launch even in light winds
Design
We have decided to save some weight by getting rid of the struts. The BREEZE is therefore a single strut kite. Aspect ratio is reduced to make the kite more stable and limit both acceleration and speed. Its profile is completely new as it needs to deliver both power and control. Depower ability is amazing for a light wind kite. It takes our designer’s knowledge to achieve some depower without altering the profile.
The wingtips are wide which helps with maneuverability, transitions and allows for backward re-launch. We have optimized the reinforcement patches to save as much weight as possible and facilitate light wind re-launch. The kite is compatible with BANDIT kite bars.

FOIL RIDING
The BREEZE feels amazingly reassuring thanks to its great stability in a straight line but also during all kinds of maneuvers. riding, the kite seems to reach its maximum speed quite early onand accelerating. This is a real bonus in terms of comfort when one knows the high degree of focus required to control a foil. It offers an impressive feeling of control and feels very progressive leading to more confidence when riding. It’s maneuverability lets you place this kite perfectly during maneuvers making progress much easier and faster. We have chosen the bar pressure to be more firm which lets you take support from it and achieve better balance. Re-launch is made super easy thanks to its light weight and backward re launch ability, to get out of sometimes tricky situations in light winds.
