Windrange
The wind range chart is to be used as a point of reference. It is based on a rider who weighs around 75kg (165lbs). Actual use will vary depending on your weight, skill level, board size/type (twintip or hydrofoil) and wind conditions on water or land. When choosing a kite size, always use common sense and repeatedly choose a smaller size if you are not sure, especially when using the kite on land.

Built for Big Air and beyond
Uncompromising Big Air
Maximum boost, precise control, and radical loops. With extended top-end, explosive lift, and impressive hangtime, you’ll have more airtime to showcase your best tricks. The second lift allows for smooth landings after megaloops, while the refined bridle ensures agility and stability in all conditions.
High-Performance Freeride
Want to push in every corner of the wind window? The ERA² rewards your effort with direct bar feedback and sporty handling. Perfect for advanced riders who crave controlled power and that next-level adrenaline rush – whether at your local spot or in Cape Town conditions.
Hydrofoil Freestyle
Experienced hydrofoilers benefit from the responsiveness and flight speed of the ERA². Use its acceleration to play with gusts, practice loops, and evolve your style. Especially in stronger winds, this kite shows its full potential.
Features
Swept-back Outline
The ERA² features a redesigned, more swept-back outline with newly shaped wingtips that enhance overall flight performance. The refined tip geometry creates a distinct second lift during jump recovery, helping riders achieve smoother, more controlled landings. At the same time, it improves depower and delivers more fluid, predictable turning characteristics.
High Aspect Ratio
The aspect ratio was increased from 5.1 to 5.5 – 5.9. The result: significantly more hangtime, better vertical lift, and a longer, more efficient flight path.
Steep Arc
The refined arc profile with its distinctive C-shape delivers precise steering, direct feedback, and powerful, predictable performance. Reengineered reinforcements and attachment points reduce overall weight while maintaining the durability required for the most demanding high-wind sessions.
Durable Material Mix
The ERA² relies on proven premium materials like Dacron and Teijin D2. Fewer panels mean reduced weight and improved airflow over the canopy. The result is a powerful, efficient kite with long-lasting structure – built for maximum stress at peak performance.
Remarkable turning ability with precise steering
The ERA² responds instantly to rider input, initiating turns quickly and maintaining a smooth, consistent arc throughout the maneuver. It accelerates efficiently through gusts and flies further toward the edge of the wind window, delivering exceptional speed and precise timing for confident take-offs.
Ready for Extremes
Whether it’s a 40 knot storm or a double loop into the horizon, the ERA² is your tool for extreme Big Air sessions. It combines explosive lift with pinpoint control, giving you confidence in brutal conditions. Tested and tuned in Cape Town by our top athletes – ready for anything you throw at it.
Reliable Downloop for easy Landings
The second lift during downloops is a highlight – thanks to the new outline, the kite generates lift at the critical moment before landing, allowing for controlled landings even after huge airs.
Accessibility and Control
Despite its high performance, the ERA² remains accessible: direct bar feedback, precise control, and improved depower – even in strong winds. Ideal for hardcore Big Air riders and experienced freeriders looking to level up.
