One cannot separate the kite from the kiteboard – they are linked with each other deeply. A kiteboard is worthless without the support of a kite, even if the kiteboard has been custom made from the best materials and is very expensive. After all, it is the kite that bestows life to the board, not vice versa. This is why the sport lovers care about kiteboard kites.

In order to meet the needs, manufacturers make use of the best of their resources. For example, let us take a look at Cabrinha kites. It is the result of Pete Cabrinha’s sheer hard work (whose devotion to water sports won him world titles in three famous events), that these kites are ideal for the most difficult situations. Cabrinha kites are thus loved by one and all.

The two kiteboarding magnets witnessed by the world are North Kiteboarding and Slingshot, and these companies have produced the most amazing kiteboard kites which people use over the bumpiest of waters around the world. The kite manufacturing industry has gone through a revolution with the advent of the latest IDS or Intelligent Depower System, which has been successfully launched by the Slingshot’s new RPM kites.

Performance-minded kites are also made by the Spleene. Their kites vary from the beginner’s model to advanced types that are fit for champions. Many, who feared to try out this adventure water sport with the fear of being a victim of an accident have now taken a step forward and tried their luck and skill with the help of their trainer kites and instructional videos.

Following are the top of the line kites that have created history in the domain of kiteboarding.

Slingshot RPM 10 m belongs to the newly innovated range of kites brought in recently by the company. Since the RPM has the power to produce awesome performance with superb ‘unhooked freestyle’ riding, it has very few competitors.
Slingshot Rev – 7Meters is creating ripples among the pro players and the lovers of the game as it is a hybrid kite with great benefits, high-class consistency, superb reaction mode, sparkling efficiency and smooth maneuverability.
Cabrinha Switchblade IDS 14 m has undoubtedly built up a strong line of followers, due mostly to its functioning as a catalyst for many C-kite riders who appreciate these kiteboard kites. Lofty big jumps are easily done to perfection with the help of this kite and its stability and smooth pull boosts up the confidence and gives poise to riders of any level. The testers are all praise in claiming that the Cabrinha Switchblade IDS ranks among the top three and one reason for this is the ‘unhooked freestyle’ riding that they offer. It is something that does not cause a problem at all when you have to travel and it is very adaptable too.
