The second version of the Alpha offers incredible freeride and hydrofoiling performance for intermediate to advanced kiters, while the lightweight single strut design is perfect for travelers looking to save on excess weight. The Alpha V2 features the new Continuous Curve Leading Edge construction, each segment is now curved to form a perfect smooth arc from tip to tip instead of straight segments with angled joints. Transverse sail shaping has been incorporated to perfectly match the new continuous leading edge profile. The result is less turbulent airflow, which positively affects the lift-to-drag ratio while increasing overall performance. The Alpha V2 also features the new combination of rip-stop materials. The new rip-stop material has an ultra-flexible coating that improves feedback in gusty conditions, making for a smoother ride. The new rip-stop technical dacron is super strong, used on Leading Edge and Struts improves strength, durability and longevity. Relaunching on the water is easy, simply by turning the stick or using the relaunch balls on the leader lines, the kite will get into the relaunch position. The lightweight design results in incredible low-end performance, making the Alpha V2 a very competitive choice for light windless riding and foiling. The power depowering ride is progressive and dynamic enough to provide smooth lift for transitions and gybes with a foil board. For high wind foiling in chop or waves, get a size small with shorter lines for loads of fun drifting the kite as it carves waves in the wind.
