Your Ride. Your Pace.
The All-rounder with big air attitude
The Pace – the brand-new highlight in the CORE lineup. Engineered for the full range of modern kiteboarding, designed for riders of every level, and equipped with massive potential to progress.
Its fast, agile, 3-Strut frame combined with the raw power of its highly stretched shape make it a sporty all-rounder with top-tier Big Air capabilities. Explore completely new freeride moves, massive jumps and go bold with more radical kite loops – all while staying in full control.
The ExoTex 2 airframe delivers a perfectly balanced blend of strength and agility, giving you playful flight and total control. Paired with our ultra-durable, low-stretch CoreTex 2 canopy, you'll experience direct bar feedback and endless, reliable power.
“The Pace gives me everything: Big Air power, fast loops, full control – and even enough slack for unhooked tricks. It’s the kite that grows with you.”
Eric Anderson - Pro Kitesurfer Freestyle from Cumbuco, Brazil
Key Feature Snapshot
Dynamic 3-Strut-Frame Sporty, fast, agile
Thanks to its 3-strut setup, the Pace loops faster, more directly, and more freely than comparable 5-strut kites – delivering serious performance and extra fun in kiteloops and wave riding.

The fixed bridle enhances performance and supports the kite’s intuitive handling. With 14 connection points supporting the kite's arc, it enables a thinner Leading Edge diameter and more control over the position in the wind window. Loops are smooth and predictable, and turning radio can be finely adjusted. The balanced steering forces enable soft, accessible handling - without compromising the basic pull.
High Aspect Ratio Shape Serious power and high flight stability
The fixed bridle allowed us to design the Pace with an even higher aspect ratio than the XR. This unique combo of High Aspect Ratio and 3-strut frame unites two seemingly opposite characteristics: top performance in jump height, hangtime, and stability, and fast looping and catching.
The profile shape pays off in terms of exceptional power, hangtime, and an extremely intuitive sheet-and-go feel. With its sweep and narrow tips, the Pace is easily launched out of the water.
Exotex® Airframe Smooth power delivery. Supreme versatility.
The power delivery is smoother than in the Pro version. Our long-proven specialty Dacron remains low-stretch under extreme loads and achieves exceptional tear resistance. On the water, you'll feel the benefits of easier upwind performance, explosive lift, and defined turning behavior.
While the Leading Edge is made from ExoTex 2, the struts use ExoTex Light with a modified radial fiber reinforcement pattern – saving weight, optimizing turning, and enhancing drift.
CORETEX 2® TRIPLE RIPSTOP CANOPY
Maximum stability. Total control.
Extremely low stretch yet incredibly durable, the exclusive CORE canopy perfectly supports the Pace’s targeted characteristics: linear power delivery, high flight stability, and exceptional control. Its special coating ensures excellent tear and tear-propagation resistance with outstanding UV protection.
Sensor 4
Perfect match with the Sensor 4 Bar
The Pace was co-developed with the Sensor 4. Thanks to the new Single Frontline Safety (SFS+), the kite fully depowers even with fixed bridles. Experience the full potential of the Pace with the finely tuned bar feedback and innovative features of the Sensor 4 and Sensor 4 Bar.
Please note: The Pace must only be flown with the Sensor 4 Bar!
Unlike the Sensor 3S or older models, only Sensor 4 ensures full flag-out safety for fixed-bridle kites.
MORE FEATURES
Instant Relaunch Back in the sky in seconds
With its minimal contact surface, swept Leading Edge, stiff airframe, and lightweight design, the Pace relaunches in a flash.
Speed Valve 2 Maximum airflow
Firmly integrated into the Leading Edge, the Speed Valve 2 connects directly to any standard pump hose and ensures maximum airflow and durability.
Speed Pump System Efficient air manager
Inflate the entire kite through a single valve. The neatly arranged strut hoses are lightweight and efficiently integrated – making inflation and deflation faster and more convenient.
GRINTEX® PATCHES Abrasion-resistant Leading Edge
Grintex patches on all segment seams of the Leading Edge and struts protect these sensitive areas against rough surfaces.
