What is the difference between an all-round kite and a freeride kite?
Allround kites fall within the freeride category at Kitemana. Most allround kites have three struts, providing them with the utmost versatility. Generally, these kites have a lighter bar pressure and reasonably quick steering behavior, allowing you to enjoy riding on your directional or foil with one of these freeride kites.
What are important properties of an all-round / freeride kite?
Most allround freeride kites are designed to be accessible and forgiving. The biggest advantage of allround kites is their versatility, making them suitable for easy boosting, good relaunch capabilities, and a balanced turning speed—not too fast or too slow. Additionally, these kites allow you to explore various aspects of kitesurfing, such as big air, kiteloops, freestyle, foiling, and wave riding, helping you discover what you enjoy the most. By gaining a good impression of different disciplines first, you can ultimately determine your preferred style. Only when you have that clarity you should invest in a kite specifically designed for activities like big air, freestyle, or wave kitesurfing.
What shape does a freeride kite have?
Freeride kites with five struts are often more 'bow' shaped than those with three struts. These bow-shaped kites are also known as SLE (Supported Leading Edge) kites. They feature a wider arc, higher aspect ratio, and a bridle line system that supports the kite's profile. Three-strut kites often have a hybrid shape, combining elements of both C-shaped and bow kites. These designs are also referred to as open C, delta C, or hybrid C.

What is the difference between a three and a five strut kite?
True freeriders ride with three or five-strut kites. Most five-strut kites are high-performance freeride kites designed for achieving high jumps. Nowadays, these kites are often marketed as big air kites. A five-strut kite typically steers a bit slower, has more bar pressure, and rides easily upwind. On the other hand, a three-strut kite steers faster, making it generally more suitable for a sportier kitesurfer who might also want to ride on a foil or practice unhooked freestyle tricks. However, both types of kites are super versatile and often well-suited for beginner kitesurfers.
What is the best size for a freeride kite?
The ideal size for your freeride kite depends on the number of kites you want to have, your body weight, riding style, and your home spot. Naturally, less wind and heavier kitesurfers require a larger kite. If you enjoy doing old-school tricks, you often want a larger kite for stability and more hang time. Small kites are better for kiteloops, foiling, and wave riding.
Which freeride kites are suitable for beginners?
Actually, all allround and freeride kites are suitable for beginners. As a beginner, you want a kite that helps you progress as quickly as possible. Allround kites have characteristics that make kitesurfing as easy as possible, allowing you to discover the sport in a safe and enjoyable way. Allround kites go upwind easily, relaunch easily, are forgiving, and have a wide depower range.
