It is a great option for anyone looking for a single kite that will be good in multiple disciplines.

Freeride / All Around Performance Boards

	Crazyfly Raptor LTD and LTD Neon What we have to say about the Raptor LTD: The Flagship board in the Crazyfly line up, the 2022 Raptor LTD and LTD Neon are quite possibly the best kiteboards that Crazyfly has ever made. The LTD is a full carbon board that has great strength but is lighter than most other boards on the market. The shape, outline and rails of this board have been refined over the years to create an exquisite ride that is hard to beat. The board is not just a joy to ride, it also has a ton of load and pop due to the carbon lay up and the flex pattern built into the board. Whether you are cruising around the bay or boosting big air, the Crazyfly Raptor LTD will meet all your needs and look amazing doing it!
	Crazyfly Raptor What we have say about the Raptor: The Raptor is still a rocket-ship for the speedsters out there who don't want something too testing for the knees. It is now easier and more fluid. It's light, but still a relatively firm ride in the freeride spectrum. That won't stop advanced riders being happy to shred all day long on it. The fins do a good job of making the Raptor feel quite maneuverable and responsive even through they are quite deep, due to the fact that they complement the board's rocker-line and shape. CF boards are always exceptional for build-quality. We're continually impressed
	Crazyfly Acton What we have to say about the Acton: The Acton probably has the softest flex pattern of all the Crazyfly boards we tested which makes it incredibly forgiving and playful. With a fairly standard rocker, the Allround is very efficient in the water and felt fast upwind while the bottom concave and 5.0 fins gave it a solid amount of bite when tracking on edge, riding flat, or on rail-to-rail carves. The Acton really locks down an edge while loading giving this board great pop for an all around board. The Acton's construction is designed to fit a wide range of riders from beginner through to intermediate.
	Core Fusion 5 What we have to say about the Fusion 5: For a carbon board, there is a surprising amount of feeling under foot and it is not too abusive to your knees. It tracks easily through chop without slapping or spraying. The grip initiates turns and transitions very well, and there's enough pop behind your back foot for loading up. With all of that said, this board is not fatiguing at all. It is a very easy to ride board that won't hold you back from pushing your limits. The Fusion can also be used with boots as a great freestyle option. The tip flex would work well for freestyle and wakestyle.
	Ozone Code V2 What we have to say about the Ozone Code: The Code V2 is a performance freeride board with a rapid riding speed from the get-go. The board seems very solid and grips tight to the water. This speed and grip transfers to some effortless upwind riding, and we were pleased to find this in choppy wavy waters as well as the butter waters. Loading up the CodeV2 for some air time you will be surprised at the amount of speed and power it can deliver. It allows for some truly impressive boosts with great control. The board is lightweight enough to throw around during board-off tricks and even features a grab recess to help you keep hold of it. The progressive flex provides a stable platform to power you out of those sketchy landings. The Code V2 is fast, fun and a fantastic option for those riders who want only the best for their personal riding development.
	Duotone Select SLS What we have to say about the Duotone Select: The Select SLS is Duotone's progressive freeride, all-around board. This board has a little softer flex pattern than the Jaime and features slightly pulled in tips that give it a really user-friendly and playful feel. The SLS is very light, incredibly durable, and noticeably smoother and more responsive this year .The Select will eat up any chop for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Super soft on the knees for landing those big air jumps. If you're looking to push your limits hard then the Select SLS is a great choice for you.
	North Prime What we have to say about the North Prime: The Prime is an aggressive freeride board. In all wind and water conditions this board will aid in rapid skill development. It shreds upwind fast, and is splash-free through the chop. Jump and boost in full control, with forgiving landings thanks to the softer flex.
	Naish Motion What we have to say about the Naish Motion: The Motion is a high performance freeride board that has a fairly lively flex pattern which makes for an easy load and pop and forgiving landings. It is a nice balance between a loose skate feel and locked in grippy upwind track feeling. We liked how the Motion turned and carved in and around small surf and chop. The Motion has some impressive pop when you load it up, and it responds well to more aggressive riding. The rocker gives you a locked in controlled feel when you come in fast from a big trick.

Big Air Kites

	North Orbit What we have to say about the North Orbit: Winner of the 2020 King Of The Air, the North Orbit has proven what we already knew... It goes BIG! The Orbit is a purpose built big air kite that excels at big air with some great hang time. It's stability and ease of use make it a no brainer for anyone looking to go big. Also a good kite for all around riding, the Orbit has medium to light bar pressure and turns rather quick for a 5 strut big air kite. A favorite among the shop riders here, the Orbit is a great kite no matter what you want to do with it.
	Ozone Edge v10 What we have say about the Ozone Edge: The Ozone Edge is practically the gold standard that we measure other kites against for big air. The Edge flies forward in the window building apparent wind. When you send it, it hauls you up into the sky like an elevator. The Edge is stable and easy to fly and has more upwind drive than most other kites out there. The new v10 is a definite improvement over previous models with slightly less bar pressure and a quicker turning speed. This allows you to move the kite where you want it with less effort than ever before. If you are looking for a kite to use for a big air session, the Edge v10 is a winner.
	Duotone Rebel SLS What we have say about the Duotone Rebel: Now with an SLS upgrade. The Rebel is still the most versatile kite in the big air category, now with a lighter frame. The Rebel is a great choice for anyone looking for a kite that excels at big air but is still a great kite for all around riding. With it's 5 strut design, The Rebel SLS is stable, fast, and will take the load of even the largest riders. With a great depower throw and linear power delivery, the Rebel makes switching between freeride and big air in the same session effortless. With the changes to the standard version, the Rebel is lighter in the air and has a more direct feel making it more easy to control on a lot of different conditions. While it comes as a standard 4 line kite, it can still of be converted to 5 line operation for anyone looking for the 5th line style.
	Crazyfly Hyper What we have say about the Crazyfly Hyper:As the winner of Boosting / Big Air Kite category of The Kite Mags Ultimate Test, the Crazyfly Hyper is an obvious choice for anyone looking for a big air or huge boosting kite. With a 3 year warranty, the Hyper also boosts above and beyond any other manufacturers warranty length. This only makes us feel better about choosing the Hyper. The Hyper flies as you would expect for a big air kite, it flies forward in the wind window allowing you to build great speed and upwind distance. When you send the kite for a jump, it sends you up the elevator and lets you down gently. With reduced weight and faster turning speeds for 2022, the Hyper is a great choice if you want to send it to the moon!
	Naish Pivot What we have to say about the Naish Pivot: While not an obvious choice for a big air kite, the Naish Pivot is a back-to-back winner of the Red Bull King Of The Air, so it must be included in any discussion about big air. Though this kite excels at all-around freeride performance, also goes big. It turns fast letting you really load up and pop into a big jump and is stable enough to feel comfortable over 40 feet in the air. This kite really does do it all.
	CORE XR7 What we have to say about the Core XR7: The Core XR7 is a brilliant big air kite. The XR series kites continue to hold the WOO height records for our shop riders. A step up from the previous version, the XR6, the XR7 has less bar pressure, a lighter feel in the air, and turns a bit quicker. This kite is not our first choice for freeride, but it works well for it. It performs best as a dedicated big air kite.
	Slingshot Raptor What we have to say about the Slingshot Raptor: The Raptor is Slingshots dedicated big air monster. This kite goes big and does it effortlessly. It has medium to high bar pressure for great feedback and it pulls like a truck. It sits a little further back in the window than a few of the other kites in this category giving it more pull and go power, The Raptor is stable and the on-demand power delivery makes it great for anyone that is looking to break into the big air game.

Big Air Boards

	Crazyfly Raptor Extreme What we have to say about the Raptor Extreme: What can't be said about this board? It locks into the water and glides through the chop. I releases from the water like it was born to fly. This thing means big air business. When boosting as big as you can, you want a board that is going to drive upwind fast, lock in for precision, and release as if the water isn't even there. This board has it all. Definintely the shop favorite for big air.
	North Atmos Carbon What we have say about the North Atmos Carbon: A big air board made for style. With characteristics of both freeride and freestyle boards, this board has a unique feel that can break boundaries. The carbon creates a responssive board with balanced flex and stiffness. This board has taken King of the Air by storm on more than one occasion. It's an experience you have to feel to believe.
	Naish Monarch What we have to say about the Naish Monarch: With it's glass construction and the UD carbon strip, this board is really fun to ride if you're getting into big air for the first time. Really responsive and precise in the water, but just forgiving enough to help you progress. The construction of this board is heavily favoring durability, and can put up to the abuses of those hard and fast landings. Definitely a true progression board.
	Reedin KevPro What we have to say about the KevPro: Now with the V2 release, the KevPro has definitely improved. Much more grip and an better control through the chop, we are impressed by the changes made this year. The reflexive tips give control from loading, to release, to the landings. Wether you're sending it high or landing hard, this board is an excellent choice.
	Slingshot Asylum What we have to say about the Asylum: Grip and Pop are the name of the game when it compse to Slingshot and their Asylum. This thing locks in like its on rails and releases effortlessly. With the carbon stringer and bedrock inserts, it has a completely balanced feel under foot. Though a freestyle staple, this thing can boost, big time.

Wave/Surf Kites

	Ozone Reo What we have to say about the Ozone Reo: The standard by which all Surf / Wave kites are measured. The Ozone Reo is the first kite our shop riders reach for when the waves start pumping. With the new variable geometry bridle, you can change the kites flight characteristics between on and off shore to finely tune the drift. When you sheet out, the Reo nearly disappears allowing you to ride the wave with no distraction while still maintaining good steering responsiveness. When you pull the bar in, the power is there and ready. The kite also turns lightning fast, and can seemingly pinwheel when looping, creating minimal downwind force. This allows you to also ride waves in a much more aggressive tone without getting pulled out of the wave. Whether you prefer to cruise or shred, this is the kite to take you to another level. With this kites exceptional drifting ability and power availability, it is also a good option for hydrofoiling.
	Duotone Neo SLS What we have say about the Duotone Neo: In every stage of the wind range, this kite is extremely well behaved, reacting to steering input instantly even when fully depowered. The world's most decorated wave kite, now has the Strong Light Superior treatment! SLS incorporates new materials and technologies across the Duotone range to create an even better performing product. Bar pressure is about medium on the Neo which allows you know where the kite is at all times. The turning response is instant. This kite goes where you want it to every time, and there are no nasty surprises of the kite drifting off course. The Neo is happy to float down the line in offshore conditions too.
	North Carve What we have say about the North Carve: The drift of the Carve is impressive. The short depower throw allows you to dump power quickly, but be sure to maintain some backline tension to ensure the kite stays stable and does not back stall. It has a quick and responsive turning speed that delivers a consistent pull. Trimmed correctly, the Carve can hold equal power in every position throughout the wind window, above and out in front of you. It's got all of the qualities of a great wave kite, but it goes beyond with its user-friendly features.
	Naish Slash What we have say about the Naish Slash: The Naish Slash is a really fun ride. The leading edge bladder is tapered through the wingtip creating a small diameter for fast turning speed and crisp response. This kite is very active flying across the window in side-on conditions, providing incredible low-end power and the best down-the-line drift in the Naish line. The bar pressure is light to help fight fatigue and keep kiters on the water even longer. The Slash tends to build more power as it moves across the window. The Slash has a ton of usable range and a really responsive bar control with light bar pressure over a longer length of the throw.

Surf Boards - By Brand

	Naish What we have to say about the Naish lineup: Naish really dialed in their surf board lineup this year. Their double bamboo construction and adjustments to the outlines of their boards has drastically changed their performance. From the new Gecko to the tried and true favorites like the Go-To and the Skater, there are noticable improvements. Refined shapes and great performance, we've enjoyed every board we have ridden.
	Duotone SLS What we have say about the SLS lineup: The new SLS surfboard technology has brought an already refined line of surf boards to a whole new level. These boards are built with precision and built to last. The addition of boards like the Voke and the Fish to their lineup makes it much easier to find the exact shape and size for your favorite discipline. The construction of these boards makes them some of the most technically responsive boards on the market to date.
	Duotone D/Lab What we have to say about the D/Lab lineup: The holy grail of the Duotone surf lineup, these boards bring a whole new level of durability to some of the most impressive boards in the kitesurfing discipline. With the new already pristine design of the SLS boards, the D/Lab comes equipped with the RFM (Reflex Memory Foam) deck. Say goodbye to cracks and damage caused by heel dents. The RFM foam pushes out the heel dings like no other construction can, making this series likely the most advanced surfboard construction on the market.
	North What we have to say about the North lineup: When talking about boards built to push limits, there's no conversation that doesn't include the North surf board lineup. The Comp is a strapless freestyle machine, light, responsive with a feeling of 0 gravity when airborne. The Cross bridges the gap with a playful shape that mixes both freestyle and wave capabilities. The Charge does exactly what it says. It charges with an immpressively fast and responsive rocker and rail profile that will have you nailing every turn.
	Reedin What we have to say about the Reedin lineup: The new kid on the block brought out two killer boards to AWSI this year. The Super Wave and The No Brainer... To say the least, we were blown away. The Super Wave was a through and through wave board built to slash. Snappy and lively and turns on a dime. The No Brainer definitely showed what an all around stubby could be capable of in the future. The rocker profile and shaping made this the current shop favorite when it comes to all around boards.

Freestyle/Freeride Kites

	Duotone Dice What we have say about the Naish Dash: The new Duotone Dice SLS is a machine! Designed for big air, powerful lift, extreme kite loops, it has an impressive freestyle performance. The all-new Dice is the perfect kite for some extreme freestyle and big air. It has every bit of the overall feel and smooth handling the Dice has become famous for but with a much lighter and more lively feel. Because of the pulley-less bridle system, the kite has a much more direct response, a super crisp feel and is way faster. This translates to a lot more fun and bigger jumps. The Dice generates a lot of flying speed, but at the same time gives you a huge feeling of control. There's so much flight control in the sheeting range that even in moderate conditions you feel like a highly trained pilot.
	Naish Dash What we have say about the Naish Dash: The Dash a fantastic, highly tuned freestyle machine that still packs plenty of freeride comfort. Offering such a speedy loop, fast but controlled high wind performance and wonderful unhooked stability in lower winds, this kite is on its own level. The Dash offers great pop and slack for unhooked riding while also putting the kiter in their comfort zone for outstanding strong wind and kite loop performance. The Dash is a C-kite for the masses but with high performance freeride qualities.
	North Pulse What we have say about the North Pulse: We were unable to get a ton of time on this kite in good winds, but from what we winds we did get I can tell you that the pulse will definitely have you pulse pumping. It is a very fast kite in both low and high winds. The power delivery is extremely comfortable and consistent. The kite has a tremendous amount of pop with adequate line slack to give anyone the confidence to excel in any level of their unhooked progression. The Pulse is the ultimate in performance freestyle. It will boost and mega loop with ease.
	Ozone Amp What we have say about the Ozone Amp:The Amp is a progressive yet user-friendly Freestyle and Park-style kite. The Amp offers anyone, amateur to pro, the response, feedback and control needed to take their riding to the next level. This kite flies a little bit farther forward in the window, has tons of load and pop feel, and gives you slack when needed. Definitely a C-kite feel with a little slower steering creating a larger steering arc. This makes it wonderful for those extreme unhooked riders. We love the accessible high performing nature of the kite, which will inspire you to engage in more tricks from the get-go, knowing the kite will still be stable in the sky where you left it.
	Core GTS What we have to say about the Core GTS: The Core GTS is an intermediate to advanced freeride kite. The GTS is pretty much the ultimate all-terrain performance twin-tip machine. The wider wingtips make kite looping a tad slower but super smooth. This makes the kite very consistent in the delivery of power all across the window. Bar pressure seems to be on the lighter side so you can do kite loops for days without coming off the water. The kite is extremely solid in the sky, feeling very supportive at all times and in all conditions. In all disciplines of freestyle riding, the GTS shines.

Freestyle / Freeride Boards

	Crazyfly Legend What we have to say about the Legend: Crazyfly's pro freestyle model doesn't disappoint. The square outline, long deep cut rockers, and aggressive cut out tips make this board a work of art in the flat water. Full carbon layup makes this board stiff and responsive. Wether you're in the park or in the flats, this thing can handle anything you throw at it.
	Core Choice 4 What we have say about the Choice 4: Core pushed the envelope with this board. Crossing the fine line between a true freestyle board and an all arounder, the Choice 4 is definitely a contender in the park as well as big air. Deep cuts, strategically placed carbon, wether you're in boots or in straps, this thing is epic.
	Ozone Torque V2 What we have to say about the Torque: A shop favorite, the Torque is just a joy to ride. The Quad spines give you the grip you need in any board position. Precision is effortless on this board. the flex pattern allows for great pop and smooth landings. A go to for our shop freestyle riders.
	Duotone Jaime SLS What we have to say about the Fusion 5: When Duotone does it, they do it big. Freestyle is the name of the game for the Jaime. The textreme construction makes this board light and stiff. Twitchy responsiveness in the water and the channeling under foot allow you to put this board into the perfect position every time. The pop from this board is just rediculous, and the landings are really soft for a stiffer board.
	North Flare What we have to say about the North Flare: A true wakestyle twin tip. The flare is smooth and stable. Built to take damage, the construction is a step above most of the other boards in the category. If you're looking for a board you can shred on kickers or boxes, this thing will take all the damage your progression requires. Park riders dream board.
	Naish Traverse What we have to say about the Traverse: Probably the loosest and most "surfey" of the freestyle boards, this board is not just great in the park or flats, but in the waves and chop as well. A bit more rocker and taper than the other boards in this lineup make this board just as fun to carve as it is to hit obstacles with. A super fun and playful board.
	Slingshot Asylum What we have to say about the Asylum: Agressive rocker, check. Carbon stringer for snappy pop, check. Aggressive channeling, check. This is Slingshots flagship freestyle, wakestyle, and parkstyle board. If you wanted the keys to the kingdom of freestyle riding, this board is the one. A proven championship winner, no conversation about freestyle boards doesn't include this board. Built to abuse.
	Reedin Kev Pro What we have to say about the Kev Pro: Though built for all around riding, the Kev Pro is built to throw down in the flats. All of the features you need for freestyle are built in. Light weight construction, carbon stringers, and channels that lock in make this board an excellent choice.

Single Strut / Hydrofoiling Kites

	Slingshot UFO What we have say about the Slingshot UFO:The UFO is a shop favorite for hydrofoiling. It is one of the lightest kites available and it performs very well in very light winds. The UFO has good power delivery and surprisingly good relaunch. The UFO is not a beginner kite and is a good choice for the experienced Hydrofoiler looking for the lightest kite they can find. With the no strut design, the UFO also packs up smaller than anything else on the list and would make a great travel hydrofoiling kite.
	Naish Boxer What we have say about the Naish Boxer: The Boxer is more focused on its low-end efficiency than top-end comfort. The light weight makes the Boxer relaunch in very little wind with ease. The precision and sheeting power is especially nice when sending the kite overhead during a tack or any transition manouver, it gives plenty of time time to move your feet and focus on the foil. This kite is quick, easy to control and generates power quickly. It has a light and lively feel at the fingertips. The Boxer is the ultimate kite for underpowered riding and foiling.
	Ozone Alpha What we have to say about the Ozone Alpha:The Alpha is simple, incredibly lightweight and very effective. Great upwind performance due to the flat arc design, and an efficient high lift airfoil section. The lightweight design translates to incredible low-end performance. The power to de-power stroke is progressive and dynamic enough to provide smooth lift for transitions and jibes with a foil or surf board. The handling is direct and responsive which allows you to put the kite where you need it. It has exceptional drift for wave riding.
	Slingshot Ghost What we have to say about the Slingshot Ghost: The Ghost is quickly becoming a shop favorite for hydrofoiling. It is one of the lightest single struts available and it performs very well. The Ghost has more pull and go power than any of the other single strut kites we have flown. The ghost has a bit more bar pressure but not enough to call it high bar pressure. The feedback from the kite lets you know exactly where the kite is at any time. With very good relaunch, the Ghost will not leave you swimming.
	Duotone Mono What we have to say about the Duotone Mono: The Duotone Mono is a light and nimble single strut kite that excels at drifting and staying in the air in light winds. It is a great kite choice for hydrofoiling or light wing riding (in the larger sizes). The mono is built exceptionally well and comes built with the standard Duotone Airport inflation valve and one pump system.
	Eleveight OS - What we have to say about the Eleveight OS: The Eleveight OS is a quick turning, good drifting single strut kite that has a little more power than expected. It loops fast and recovers quickly when intentionally back-stalling, making for a very stable down-wind run on the foil. The OS is a definite top choice of all of our shop riders when we head out to hydrofoil.
	Core XLITE - What we have to say about the CORE XLITE: Core has delivered a single strut kite that meets any Core riders expectations. With lightweight materials, supreme build quality, Core really came through with this hydrofoil specific kite. It is fun to fly, delivers the power exceptionally well and feels wonderfully light in the air.
	Crazyfly Infinity - What we have to say about the Crazyfly Infinity: This is Crazyfly's first hydrofoil specific kite. Double struts close to the wing tips deliver reactive turning and easy relaunch at the weight of a single strut, while an strutless mid-section mimics the characteristics of a no strut kite. In our first experiences with the Infinity, we found this kite to be very stable and lofty. It has decent drift and responsiveness downwind, but it's pull and go power and lift allows it perform best as a freeride foil kite.

Open / Closed Cell Foil Kites

	Flysurfer Soul 2 What we have say about the Soul 2: Whatever good things you've heard about this kite... They're all true. The Soul 2 is an absolute blast to ride. If you're looking for peak performance and the easiest transition from inflatable kites to ram air, the Soul 2 is the one. Incredibly stable, fast turning, great upwind drive and lift. Literally no complaints with this kite. The mixer system is fully adjustable. The Kite is almost always relaunchable, we've been stuck on the water for half an hour in a lul and it still managed to relaunch. Definitely a shop favorite.
	Ozone Hyperlink What we have say about the Hyperlink: Can't make up your mind if you want to ride land or water? With the Hyperlink, you can do either. Snow, landboard, buggy, open the cells... Close the cells and take it out on the water. The Hyperlink is definitely the closest to an inflatable in it's handling characteristics in comparisson to the other Ozone foil kites. Quick turning, good upwind drive, and great lift. An all around kite in every way.
	Ozone Chrono What we have to say about the Chrono: The gold standard in the foil kite realm. The chrono is the lightwind machine you must have if you're wanting to get out on the water when it is glassy smooth and the leaves are silent. Built for power and speed, this kite has excellent upwind drive that will get you tracking upwind on a puff of wind when foiling. For jumping, the Chrono is fantastic. Great lift and even better hang time. If you're looking for that lightwind edge, the Chrono is where it's at.
	Ozone R1 V4 What we have to say about the R1 V4: Speed... Just raw speed. That's it. That's all there is to say about the R1. Used by racers around the world, the R1 is the champ. Upwind drive and a seemingly endless acceleration make this kite an exhilerating experience to any speed junkie. Paired with the right foil, just enough determination and Olympic dreams... This kite could take you there.

Hydrofoil Boards By Brand

	Crazyfly What we have to say about the Crazyfly lineup: From zero to hero, Crazyfly has it all. These twin tip construction foil decks are the #1 Shop favorite here. Learning to foil? The chill is an awesome ride. With a high nose and rocker, carbon stringers and a wood core, this thing is light, easy to ride, and responsive. For the heavy riders and the big air foilers out there, the F-Lite is the full carbon upgrade you need. The F-Lite is everything we love about the chill, with a full carbon layup, and a smaller size run. Direct responsiveness and a great feel under foot... And if you're trying to push your foiling to the absolute peak of performance, we have the Pure pocket
	Ozone Apex What we have say about the Apex: 1/2 of the newest addition to the Ozone product line, The Apex deck is built to fly. With a high density foam core wrapped in a carbon/glass hybrid layup, this board is just as light as it is stiff and responsive. The high nose and beveled edges make the board forgiving and a great option for beginners. The deck mounted track system gives you a very durable mounting with a great range of adjustability. Paired with the Apex foil system, and you're ready to get flying.
	Core SLC What we have to say about the SLC: When core makes a board, they go all out. Comfort? You got it. A nice and soft corduroy deck pad will keep you riding longer. Fine tuning? You got it. The SLC deck has 90mm tracks for infinite adjustablility. Shaping? Whatever your riding style, the beveled rails, center channels, and high nose will help you land every trick and push past your limits at ever turn.
