The Alpha V1 is a unique single strut design that has redefined our expectations of inflatable kites. It’s simple, incredibly lightweight and very effective – it is a winner for any quiver.

Grab a twin tip and go cruising or jumping, enjoy the ride while progressing with ease. You will be surprised at the jumping and looping capabilities of the Alpha; it has smooth lift and hang-time with precise feedback. The Alpha has great upwind performance thanks to the innovative flat arc design and an efficient high lift airfoil section.

The lightweight design translates to incredible low-end performance making the Alpha a very competitive choice not only for light wind freeriding, but also the expanding freeride hydrofoil scene in almost any wind strength. The power to de-power stroke is progressive and dynamic enough to provide smooth lift for transitions and jibes with a foil board.

For high wind foiling in chop or waves, take a small size with shorter lines for loads of fun drifting the kite while carving swells across the wind.

In the surf the Alpha is perfect for drift style wave riding as it floats with you. The handling is direct and responsive which allows you to put the kite where you need it. The Alpha is not as dedicated to waves as the Reo, but it still delivers solid performance in cross-shore to on-shore conditions.

Water re-launch is easy, by simply turning the bar or using the re-launch balls on the leader lines, the kite will roll over into the re-launch position.

Going traveling? Take the Alpha with you, it’s incredibly lightweight, packs small and can do anything you want to do on any given day…

The Alpha V1 comes standard with an ultra lightweight Compressor Bag, perfect for travelling and day-to-day protection for your kite. It is easy to use and compresses a kite to minimal size.

The new 14m and 16m sizes are suited for anyone looking to ride in winds starting at around 8 knots with a light wind specific twin tip such as the all new Infinity V1. They are also perfect for heavier riders hydro-foiling, providing that extra low end grunt over the 12m Alpha. Both 14m and 16m bridle configurations have been optimised for stability and a similar feeling across the size range. In comparison to the Zephyr V5, the Alpha V1 16m flies incredibly well and is generally more agile than the Zephyr V5 in lighter winds.

The Alpha V1 16m naturally produces a fraction less low end power and due to being a one strut design the canopy becomes less stable as the wind increases compared to the Zephyr V5 which has five struts, therefore keeping the canopy ultra stable as the wind picks up.
