The Kitewing Mach 3.8 was developed for the shorter riders and for the hard
wind enthusiasts! The wing has 90 cm less wingspan than the IV8 and RAGE
55, which makes the handling easier for smaller folk. The wing is also fun for
the heavier riders in extreme conditions, such as over 20 m/s winds on a slippery
surface.
WHAT IS A KITEWING?
Kitewing is a wing shaped kite. Many people call it “the wing” for
short, just because of its shape. You can use Kitewing with your skis, snowboard,
mountainboard, ice skates or in-line skates etc. Many say it is like a mix of
kite surfing and wind surfing.
Most riders learn to cruise with the wing in half an hour. At the same time
there seems to be no limit to the amazing jumps and tricks that are being developed
by many keen riders around the globe at the moment: Speeds up to 100 km/h (62
mp/h) and 5 m high, 40 m long jumps on flat surface are not unusual.
Kitewing Sports Ltd. believe that the combination of it being easy and challenging
at the same time is the reason for the rapidly growing popularity of this new
action sport.
