Easy Handling / Bow Kite Performance The Switchblade is the second kite in our series of revolutionary bow kites. The Switchblade uses the exact same technology as the Crossbow which has made a profound change in the performance and security of our sport. The Crossbow and the Switchblade are the industry leading kites which have introduced new levels of power, depower and security which all other kites are now judged by.
The Switchblade differs from the Crossbow mainly in its degree of Pro Span Extreme™. The Switchblade has a slightly rounder arc than the Crossbow which lends itself to smooth and easy handling. Especially when relaunching from the water. The less aggressive Pro Span Extreme™ means that the Switchblade has slightly less lift than the Crossbow but is incredibly more stable. The reduced lift means that the Switchblade is less influenced by gusty and unpredictable wind. The Switchblade kite is ideal for Wakestyle, Surfing, and Freeriding.
