Fresh new colorways, this long running legendary kite keeps delivering.
Accessible and direct, the Switchblade is a close friend on the water.

At the moment these are PRE ORDER ONLY. Get in touch.

For over 20 years the Switchblade has not only proven itself as one of the most versatile kites on the market, but it has also defined a whole genre of kiteboarding, delivering a perfect balance of power, control and confidence around the world.  For 2026 the Switchblade stays true to this legacy while raising the standard in predictability and durability.

With the upgraded Airframe inflation system, precision craftsmanship and a design and construction process refined for performance, the 2026 Switchblade is smoother, stronger and more reliable than ever before.

From first jumps to record heights.  Freeride sessions to unhooked freestyle tricks, the Switchblade gives you the confidence to ride harder, fly higher and push further, knowing that your kite is built to perform session after session.

  Key differences between the 2025 and 2026 models;

• Lighter Bar Pressure: A primary feedback point for the 2026 model is significantly lighter bar pressure, which makes the kite feel more responsive and closer to a three-strut kite's agility while maintaining five-strut stability.
• Faster Turning Speed: The 2026 version offers improved turning speed, with tighter and faster loops, leading to a more playful and dynamic ride compared to the 2025 model's smoother, more delayed turn.
• Upgraded Airframe Inflation System: The 2026 Switchblade features an improved Airframe inflation system, allowing for faster and more even inflation. The 2025 model uses the Sprint 3.0 system.
• Apex Bridle System: The 2026 model features new Apex bridles with thinner, low-stretch lines for more efficient load transfer and precise steering. The 2025 model also uses the Apex bridle system, but the 2026 refines it further.
• Refined Aerodynamics: Both models utilize "Pure Form panels" and refined aerodynamic profiles, but the 2026 version is described as having cleaner lift and smoother airflow, contributing to its enhanced performance.
• Reduced Weight: Through the use of "Featherlite bladders" and the Ultra HT material, the 2026 model is generally lighter than the previous version, improving light wind performance and overall feel.
