We’ve continued our dedication to make the best do-it-all kite in the skies. Keeping it as easy and versatile as possible, and staying true to what our riders know and love about SuperModel. This year we have a completely new frame construction, making it faster, lighter, and more responsive, without sacrificing any stability or durability.
We’ve taken its performance to the next level.
HTF: Hybrid Torsion Frame
HTF comes from analyzing how kites turn, and then using a combination of two different materials. Each with different characteristics, placed on sections of the frame where they fulfill different needs.
Stiff dacron
The center of the leading edge is made out of stiff dacron that has proven its stiffness for decades. By using it for the center section of the LE, SuperModel HTF kite keeps enormous stiffness and rigidity right where you want it, to keep it stable and prevent any collapsing in extremely overpowered conditions.
FLEXLIGHT dacron
Our new FlexLite is made of a thinner, tighter yarn, that reacts quicker to pull and compression that happens in the material when a kite is steered. We’ve placed it on the sections of the frame that are key to making a kite turn.
Turning is key
When you steer your kite, torsion starts at the wing tip and propagates to the entire kite and Leading Edge. HTF is the result of analyzing how kites turn, and using our purposefully tuned FLEXLITE in those key areas. This allows for a much quicker response to steering input.
FLEXSTRUTS
The second part of HTF is using FlexLite to build SuperModel’s struts. They allow the entire canopy to twist easier, translating your bar input straight into the canopy.
NEXT LEVEL PERFORMANCE
This makes SUPERMODEL HTF more responsive, turn faster, and have an even better finishing of the turns.
You will jump higher, and pull easier kiteloops with more confidence. It re-directs quicker while wave-riding, and generates more power in underpowered conditions. It truly benefits every aspect of kiting.
Highlighted Features:
The super-segmented wing tip provides the smoothest turning engagement of any kite for maximum efficiency of your steering power.
FLEXLITE in the torsion zone quickly creates torsion into the entire LE for a much quicker steering response
Thinner, lighter flex struts translate steering input straight into the canopy.
Triple Ripstop: The high density of yarn per square meter makes this canopy one of the stiffest and strongest on the market for the most reactive and best-performing kite.
Any discipline, all conditions: SuperModel DOES IT
Kiteloops - Foiling - Freeride - Waves - Strapless - Big Air - Freestyle
I think my biggest takeaway from the Supermodel is that everyone who tries it for the first time comes back with the biggest smile on their face and a stoke factor that is through the roof. I would describe the kite as playful. Everything about it just wants to go all the time, whether your boosting, ripping loops and carves, or just cruising around. The Reedin has quick power and is maneuverable in a way that makes you feel like youre flying a much smaller kite. What makes the Supermodel so impressive is that it excels at everything. It jumps like a cross between an Orbit and an XR, yet it is nimble and forgiving like a Reach with the drift and stall resistance of a much less performance oriented kite. Combine all of this with a comparably budget friendly price point and its hard not to like the Supermodel.

Best One Kite Quiver Option!
The SuperModel really does it all! Not many 9m kites can be the right choice for so many sessions! It can be your boost the to moon option, perfect for a lightwind foil session, or nuking loops kite! It's got a super stiff airframe for a three strut kite, making light and quick. The new models are even more responsive and have a great overall feel.
