Kites

Kitesurf kites from North, Slingshot, F-ONE, Core, Flysurfer, Eleveight and Reedin in several sizes, to cover the whole wind range on Lake Neuchâtel and the spots of French-speaking Switzerland. Our team in Neuchâtel helps you pick the right sizes.

Which discipline?

  • Freeride and all-round: the everyday kite, easy to relaunch and stable in gusts
  • Big air and boost: for high, long jumps (Slingshot Machine, F-ONE Banger)
  • Wave and strapless: a kite that drifts with the wave (North Carve, Slingshot Fuse and SST)
  • Light wind and foil: take off from the first knots (Slingshot UFO, North Code Zero, F-ONE Breeze)
  • Learning: trainer kites with a bar to practise on land (Slingshot B2 and B3, Core Xperience)

Which size?

Size depends on weight and wind. For a 75 kg rider on a twintip, count on about 12 m² in 12 to 18 knots and 9 m² in 18 to 25 knots. On our lakes, where thermal winds and the bise are often light, a big kite or a foil kite gets used more often than at the seaside.

Two kites for the whole season

A quiver of two sizes 3 to 4 m² apart covers most days. Send us your weight and riding style and we will suggest the combination that makes sense for your spot. Delivery time is shown on each product page.

How to choose your F-ONE kite

The right kite depends on your style (freeride, wave, freestyle), your level, your weight and your spot's wind range.

What size?

By weight and wind. Reference for 75–85 kg:

  • Light wind (12–18 knots): 10 – 12 m²
  • Medium wind (18–25 knots): 8 – 9 m²
  • Strong wind (25+ knots): 6 – 7 m²

Most riders own 2 to 3 sizes (e.g. 8 / 12 m²) to cover their spot year-round.

The F-ONE range

  • BANDIT: the icon — all-around freeride, wave and big air. The Swiss-army knife, ideal for most riders.
  • BANDIT S: the wave / strapless specialist — fast pivot and perfect drift.
  • BREEZE: light wind and foil — very light single-strut, takes off in almost nothing.
  • DIABLO: freestyle / wakestyle — powerful, clean pop.
  • WTF?!: hardcore freestyle for the top level.

Beginner: where to start?

A BANDIT in the right size covers everything and forgives mistakes — the safe choice to learn. Pair it with a suitable bar and ideally a few lessons.

We'll help you with size and model to match your spot and level.
