What’s new for the 2020 MONO?

New for this year is the use of a lightweight material, alongside a double rip stop canopy material and redesigned construction details for a maximum saving of weight. These materials enhance the handling of the kite in ways never thought possible.

How does this affect in flight characteristics?

While the general design approach has remained the same, the kite is completely redesigned due to the new materials. The lower weight ensures unrivalled drifting abilities, more dynamic handling, a near-mystical ability to stay in the air in the lulls and improved power from a faster upstroke.

How does the lighter construction translate into performance and who will enjoy the MONO?

Lighter weight means enhanced flying characteristics and a effortless relaunch. It’s so light that the slightest of puff of wind will see it rising back into the sky. If you want a light kite for travelling, the MONO is it. If you want a dynamic kite with an incredible low end for foiling, step right up, if you are just starting your kiting journey and want an easy to fly, forgiving kite, look no further. If wave riding sets your heart on fire, the Mono will happily stoke the flames especially in light winds, or perhaps freeride is your game, you’ll enjoy the constant pull and smooth power delivery.
