 It reflects the trust placed in our work. The uncompromising ambition behind our latest developments such as Pace, XR Pro 2, Air and Air Pro. Relentless testing. Precise material engineering. Continuous progression. 

Being ranked second as Best Kite Brand and Best Board Manufacturer is another strong signal: our community expects more – and we deliver. 

Our promise remains unchanged. We keep developing. We keep testing. We make the best even better. 

Performance Made Visible 

Beyond product recognition, our team was honored as well. Ben Beholz has been named Best Vlogger for the fourth consecutive year.
