For kite foilers who demand more from less and understand progressing and riding in a flow state, is built on the connection between body, mind, and equipment. Anything that impedes the best possible connection starting with the kite, and then transferring to the lines, bar, board, and foil all need to be perfectly harmonized.
The UFO changed kite foiling forever with its zero-strut design that delivers otherworldly levels of drift, upwind reach, and response. The UFO V3's FlexLITE airframe—built with 140g/m2 high-tenacity polyester—further decreases the UFO's weight without sacrificing performance or durability. With swept wingtips and an intelligent Compact Swept C canopy shape, the UFO V3 has been designed for an effortless water relaunch. Supplementing the optimized minimalism of the UFO is the new zipperless roll-top kite bag that keeps weight to an absolute minimum while maximizing convenience and packability. With 25% thinner lines, TrimFlight Bridles deliver the least amount of drag, which significantly increases the UFO's efficiency and response. More than just lightweight, the bridle lines' geometry, length, and placement were intelligently designed to expertly accentuate the top-of-the-class performance characteristics of the UFO's Hybrid Compact Swept C shape. The UFO V3's proprietary Compact Swept C shape features a lower aspect, compact arc that provides exceptional steering, pivoting, and drift. The swept wing tips were intelligently designed specifically for a zero-strut kite to ensure effortless and dependable water relaunch. The Swept C shape yields responsive and immediate power management to prevent over-foiling. A bold, head-turning innovation when it was originally launched in 2020, the UFO's Zero-Strut Airframe required countless hours of research and development to perfect. The result is a near-complete elimination of drag, allowing the UFO to fly in the lightest of winds and achieve unlimited drift, superior upwind angles, and intuitive response—all critical factors for true foiling performance.
