Lightwind/ Freeride

13 / 15 / 17

Threshold winds have always been the toughest challenge to any kite designer. Do you make a powerful kite, but sacrifice turning and playfulness, or do you make a light kite, but sacrifice the low end power that get’s you up and going. 

Building off the highly successful Moto X platform with the combination of the materials used in the Apex Series, Pat Goodman was able to skillfully handcraft the perfect blend between power and fun. 

The lightweight Ultra HT and the new lighter weight bladders bring down the weight, but also aid in the fun lively feel of the kite. 

The MotoXL Apex is the kite you need in your quiver.   The ultimate session saver, it will have you coming off the water with that look on your face which makes everyone know just how much fun you had.
