The legendary kite is back once again, and this year the smaller sizes have a focus on big air and kite loops.
Splitting the BANDIT into two distinct lines has allowed us to radically change the way the smaller sizes of the BANDIT 2020 work. The 7, 8, 9 and 10 m are now fully geared to overpowered riding, big air and kite loops. The larger sizes from 11 m and up offer incredible control and freeride abilities with a huge wind range. Key to this new concept is the updated spider 4 or 5 points bridle set up, which is different to the classic 4 point bridles on the BANDIT S. The new bridle helps keep the profile arc of the kite stable even in extreme overpowered conditions.
This adds a massive amount of control and comfort to your riding, making it the perfect tool for events like the Megaloop Challenge and the King Of The Air. The leading edge is slightly larger in diameter too, further enhancing the stability of the kite in the air. New wingtips with a squarer, more drawn out shape allow the kite to rotate fast through the turns due to less drag thanks to the narrower angle on the rake of the tip. This new design generates a wide dynamic turn that delivers lots of pull and power through the turn for huge kite loops.
Comfort on the water is key to everything we do here at F-ONE and the BANDIT 2020 takes that to new levels. Less lateral pull, especially in overpowered conditions, will not fatigue the rider and you won’t feel like you are being beaten up on the water.
The BANDIT 2020 has been designed not to deform when it is depowered; instead, the kite holds its shape and remains in the same spot in the window no matter the wind strength. This means it generates smooth and comfortable forward momentum even in the gustiest of conditions. This leaves you feeling more energised and able to stay on the water for longer with impressive upwind performance. The kite keeps flying and provides a constant power distribution.
The turning speed and reactive steering is another feature of the BANDIT 2020 you will enjoy; the bar pressure is a little more positive than the BANDIT S allowing you to feel where the kite is at all times. This is particularly important when kite looping; however, while there is a little more bar pressure, the steering is incredibly quick to react and very dynamic. The turning arc of the kite is always predictable and under the control of the rider. The speed back to the zenith is fast and clean. This allows you to throw huge mega loops and feel safe and supported for the landing.
The fast nature of the kite allows you to send it back in the window for explosive takeoffs, and we’re expecting this kite to top the WOO leaderboards this year. You can still ride waves with the new BANDIT 2020; it’s geared to be a great all-round kite just like every BANDIT. The emphasis this year was on the kite loops and big air though.
The larger sizes of the BANDIT 2020 feature all the excellent characteristics of the smaller sizes, but the design profiles and arcs have been tweaked to offer even more low-end wind range and lightness. You no longer need different styles of kites to fill your quiver, just choose the BANDIT that best suits your riding style and get on the water in as little as 10 knots while being confident in over 50knots too.
The new BANDIT 2020 will excite you like never before; great power is nothing without control, this kite has that and more. Big jumps, huge loops and loads of hangtime, perfect for freeriding too, get ready for the future, get the new Bandit 2020.

The most user-friendly one strut kite on the market today, incredible light wind ability matched with complete ease of use.
Maneuverability
The BREEZE V3 is for anyone who wants a light weight set up that offers incredible handling with great low-end performance. It is the perfect kite for light wind freeriding, and foiling in any conditions. Thanks to its stability and light weight, the Breeze can show off interesting performances in light wind wave riding too.
Across the range of sizes, the handling has been finely tuned; the larger sizes are even more responsive, making them perfect for manoeuvres. The smaller sizes are optimised to handle stronger winds with total speed control and great stability while foiling.
Stability
The BREEZE has a stable canopy when depowered and the overall range of the kite is wide.
In the air, the BREEZE V3 is so intuitive to fly you can forget about the kite and concentrate on the riding.
This unique characteristic makes it perfect for beginners and advanced riders alike.
The kite has also been designed to work with a low front V on the bar to untangle lines after those inevitable kite crashes.

The 2015 Angry Swallow is proven to be the most unique surfboard shape in kiteboarding. The T-Rex design with a truncated nose significantly reduces swing weight while still providing a central control point on the board — making airs, spins and flip tricks easier than any other board. The parallel outline reduces drag and increases water speed to get more upwind performance without jeopardizing stability. The Angry Swallow also features the FCS II Fin Setup that allows for multiple fin setups to fit your conditions and riding style. The shorter board sizes make it easy to take with you to your favorite wave destination and fits in a wider variety of travel bags. Each of the sizes rides like a larger board without the weight and hassle and Fluid X Dampening System reduces vibration which improves feel.

You've seen this board in the mags and videos under Peter's feet so you know what it's capabilities are. Everyone who rides one says the same thing - in good waves, there is nothing that even comes close to the performance of the Trow Directional. This comes from years of Stretch working with Trow to get the shape dialed to perfection. 41cm width in 150-147cm length. The rocker on this board is Stretch's hi-performance surfboard curve, the rails are a miniature version of a surfboard rail. The single concave runs through the tail of this board just like a surfboard. Built with three or four fins, two or three straps - your choice. Comes with straps, pads and fins and pads ready to ride!

Introducing a full nose and wide hip directional for lighter winds and smaller waves. 5 fin boxes for quad or thruster options (comes with Kwad fins). Can be ridden with two or three strap setup.

OffDaLip has put much R & D into this dedicated kite surfboard testing it in the world class conditions of Hawaii. The dimension are 5 foot 10 inches by 18.5 inches wide by 2 inches thick with a flatter rocker to eliminate bounce. Features a high density PU blank to prevent heel denting with epoxy layup for strength and durability that is ultra strong but still light in weight. To make in ultra bombproof or for the green look choose the wood veneer option. The flatter rocker and single concave bottom make the board very fast but still for loose due to the quad fin setup. Hard driving bottom turns and snaps off the top are what this board was made for. Comes complete with Future Vector II fins, Da Kine staps and Da Kine front and back traction pads.
