The goal was simple: make every action easier and more natural, for every rider and in every condition. By working on power management and depower, the riding speed has been slightly reduced to deliver more control and comfort.
Built on the design of the previous BANDIT, this edition inherits its key assets: Staggered Seams for a perfectly smooth profile and great stability in the air, an optimised fabric layout balancing performance and comfort, and the legendary Delta C-Shape. It also adds a new 160 g Dacron on the leading edge, stronger and more durable.
On the water everything gets easier: smoother through chop, easier edging, more accessible jumps even on rough water. Power control at the top end is excellent, so you can ride for hours without fatigue. Planing is immediate, bar feel is precise without excess, and handling is excellent, whether on a twintip, strapless surf or for your first loops.
From your first sessions to your most ambitious moves, the BANDIT gives you instant confidence and supports your progression.
The right kite depends on your style (freeride, wave, freestyle), your level, your weight and your spot's wind range.
By weight and wind. Reference for 75–85 kg:
Most riders own 2 to 3 sizes (e.g. 8 / 12 m²) to cover their spot year-round.
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.
