The Carve is a powerful, reactive and controllable kite, ideal for carving up a wave face, tucking into a barrel or boosting strapless tricks. Engineered with a stable, lower aspect ratio design for fast pivot turns and excellent drift, the Carve has an extremely direct feel in both bar pressure and steering initiation. Intuitive control—especially when the kite's not visible on a big bottom turn, cutback, or barrel—means you can focus 100% on the surf. The Carve has a longer, progressive travel, so it feels smooth and responsive throughout the full depower range and is reactive to the very end when you sheet out. For 2025, we’ve refined the 2025 Carve bridling for increased depower and responsive feather-light steering, so the Carve feels lighter, faster turning and more agile. You’ll also discover a cleaner, more aerodynamic canopy profile, with lighter bar pressure for more stable efficient drifting and less pull on the wave face. The improved overall balance with more sweep in the tips enhances drift, so when you're surfing, it glides down the line, waiting for your bar input. The wingtips are light, and the smooth curve and shape draft back ensures balance. A thinner LE diameter reduces the pulling power, while added sweep enables effortless roll to relaunch. The 2025 Carve is smoother, more stable and manageable in gusty conditions. The Carve flies fast upwind and experienced riders will benefit from the kite's impressive power and efficiency. Intermediate riders will find it offers a smoother, more user-friendly ride. Freeride and Strapless Freestylers will love the light reactive steering, longer bar stroke, improved hangtime and catch for rotations and softer landings.
