What is Kiteboarding?

There is a sport that is like surfing, wakeboarding, and flying all at once.  If you’ve ever been to Pismo Beach on a windy day, you will see over two dozen kiteboarders in the water or doing tricks high above it.  Most of these riders are ordinary people that are simply addicted to this amazing extreme sport called kiteboarding.

Kiteboarding uses the wind to combine the aspects of surfing, snowboarding, wakeboarding, and windsurfing into one extreme ocean sport.  The kite, anywhere from 6-20 square meters, powers the rider through the water.  The kite will have either 4 or 5 lines up to 27 meters long that connect to a control bar, which the rider pushes and pulls to control the kite in any direction.  The bar hooks into the rider’s harness, which is most often worn around the waist. A board similar to a wakeboard or surfboard enables the rider to fly over the water. Check out our kites, boards, and harnesses here

We carry Naish, DaKine, Slingshot, Neil Pryde, Caution, NPX, Starboard, Creatures of Leasure, Ocean and Earth, Werner, Garmin, AzHiAzIaM, MBS, and much more.

Characteristics
The HADLOW ID presents a combined package of performance and accessibility. Slashed wing-tips and an optimised leading edge give you easier relaunch. You don't need to fear putting this kite in the water. In the sky, bar pressure gives you knowledge of where the kite is, with direct un-twitchy control even when de-powered. Freestyle demands consistent and strong pop and the ID gives you this in bucket-loads with post-pop slack lining to ease your handle passes.Stability combined with exceptional speed mean you've got the best of both worlds in your progression right up to Aaron's own standards.

C-Kite Geometry
Near identical leading and trailing edge curves to the HADLOW PRO C-kite create a true C-kite feel with HADLOW PRO levels of performance. Many other kites claim a C-kite feel but no other kite has such deep-set roots in a strong lineage of C-kites.

Bridle
A fully supportive bridle creates better stability and control under extreme loads (during loops or hard pops). LE bridle and toggle points allow for zero tube rotation and distortion. The bridle on the whole gives plenty of depower with a further second "depower" setting for extreme conditions. Ride with more grunt and constant pull or more depower and forward speed.

Filleted Dacron Cage
Creates a truer aerofoil by reducing focal stress on rib to LE junction, meaning a smoother, more direct flight.

Leading Edge
A thin diameter on the HADLOW ID adds speed into the turn and gives a fast, more dynamic grunt but with more diameter than the HADLOW PRO, relaunch is no worry.

Blended Aerofoil
The Hadlow ID's unique and purpose built aerofoil tames the aggressive performance of the HADLOW PRO to an accessible level with more direct handling

Balanced Driving Canopy
Reduces stall after loops allowing for better hook-ups, but creates a completely neutral stall giving great balance and stability after a pass without having to drive the sail forward.

Lap Seams
Throughout the sail provide the Hadlow ID with aerodynamically efficient and strong stitch across the entire kite.

Trailing Edge
A triple ply trailing edge reduces aerodynamic flutter offering superb stability and a consistent drive.

Wingtips
Slash cut, heavily tapered tips distribute load across the whole tube, allowing for a thinner tip and creating sharper, faster turns as well as easing relaunch.

Profile Alignment
Taking geometry from the world's most hadcore C-Kite, the Hadlow ID keeps the profiles aligned for optimal power distribution down through the front toggles giving a true C-Kite feel. Do you really think Aaron would settle for anything else'
