The gift that keeps on giving. The kite that has defined a whole generation is back with the largest performance boost in 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.

Do NOT leave your kite exposed to sunlight for long periods of time. Between sessions, choose a shaded area to secure your kite. When not in use, stow away
Always dry your kite prior to rolling or folding. Folding or rolling a kite when wet may affect the color clarity and longevity
It is recommended to wash the kite components with fresh water and dry before storing
Clear the kite of sand or other foreign objects before stowing
Once clean and dry, stow your kite in the supplied bag in a clean, dry, cool place
Do NOT place heavy objects on the bag containing the kite
Do NOT leave your kite inflated in your car or car rack box; exposing the kite to extreme temperatures while inflated may damage the internal bladders
