Key changes
Version 7 has exceptional efficiency with a revised profile for even better low-end performance and ease of use. Its aerodynamic design has extraordinary capabilities allowing you to minimise your quiver by maximising your wind cover.
The design features a medium to high aspect ratio that adds grunt and power, yet the load distribution is protected, even over time. The frame construction supports the canopy for extra stability, making it accessible to riders of all levels.
With smooth power generation and light turning initiation, the RS has an ultra-direct feel. Fast flight and turning characteristics also allow the RS to be quick in response to all disciplines, giving it limitless riding potential.
Dynamic speed, bags of hangtime and thrilling forward momentum make the RS kite truly stand out. Even when chasing waves or popping freestyle tricks, the RS delivers high performance and swiftly travels upwind no matter the gusts or how choppy the water.
Wind Range
Turning Characteristics
- Fast turn
- Wingtip to pivot turner

The RS immediately reacts to steering impulses to give speedy turns. Grunty power is generated throughout turning enabling you to boost big. As the turning arc is relatively tight, it is also an excellent choice for riding waves.
Aspect Ratio
- Medium to high AR
- Great upwind performance
- Massive windrange
Due to the fine-tuned aspect ratio, the RS covers a massive wind range with outstanding upwind performance. Even in light wind, you can sheet-in to get going or boost impressive jumps.
Sweep
- Medium sweep
- Grunty power
- Long hangtime
The medium swept wingtips add to the kite’s versatility while ensuring precise bar feedback. They also enhance power development. The hangtime of the RS is extraordinary.
