The Switchblade has become synonymous with versatility. Its reliability and predictability
are two of the reasons why it excels as a performance wakestyle kite as well as an
all-around freeride kite. The number one choice of Wakestyle riders worldwide, the
Switchblade delivers a stable source of power which transfers into incredible pop. Once
in the air, the kite will steer effortlessly with minimal input from the rider. The Switchblade
is excellent for unhooked or hooked in riding in just about any conditions. If there is
one kite that can back up all of the accolades being thrown at it, its the Switchblade
wakestyle, freeride kite.
