PERFORMANCE LIGHTWIND / FREERIDE
SIZES: 13 / 15 / 17
In 2003 a kite was launched to help people maximize their time on the water.  The name became synonymous with the light wind riding, and has since become a staple in many kiters quivers.     
The Contra 3 Strut continues this legacy and provides the rider with the ultimate blend of light wind power and agility to maximize time on the water in threshold winds.   
Its supported 3 strut frame allows to not only drive forward when using more a traditional selection of kiteboards, but it also provides a stable canopy and an increased high end range. 
 
3 strut hybrid design, low drag wing tips, draft forward profiles.
