The Gift that keeps on giving. The kite that has defined a whole generation is back with the largest performance boosting its history.The all new design of last year has been further developed through the use of Apex materials to allow the rider to explore the feeling of a three strut kite, but with the support and confidence that a five strut kite can offer.The introduction of Ultra HT to the Switchblade really allowed Pat Goodman and the design team to tweak out that extra response that he always knew was there on this kite.No matter what style of riding you do, on what ever type of board, the new Switchblade is as predictable as ever, giving you the confidence to enjoy Mother Natures best qualities without worrying about what the kite is doing.
