A freeride kite for all levels!
Freeride, hooked tricks and big jumps. This is what Airush Lithium V12 2021 does best. With a light bar pressure and a quick relaunch, you get a super reliable kite. In the air it is stable and easy to control. The Airush Lithium V12 could easily become your new favorite kite!
What we like about Airush Lithium:
✔️ A super balanced kite. It has a good low end, which makes it possible to get on the water, while other kites may need more wind to fly stably in the sky. However, Airush Lithium still has a well-functioning top than when the wind picks up.
✔️ A beginner-friendly kite that you won't outgrow right away and can be used in many different weather conditions.
✔️ Possibly one of the easiest kites to jump with. Steer the kite up to 12 and pull into the bar.
✔️ Fast steering, but still controllable, giving you the courage to try new tricks.
✔️ Upwind performance is easy to activate. After a big jump, you can do two tacks and you are back where you jumped from.
✔️ Airush kites are really well constructed. The canopy is made of D4 ripstop, which is among the strongest kitesurfing canopy materials available on the market. That is with Airush Lithium you get a super strong and solid kite.
✔️ Relaunch performance is phenomenal. Lithium is equipped with "slim" wing tips, which means that the kite does not "stick" to the water and in combination with its delta design, the relaunch will become a "piece of cake" experience.
What you should be aware of with Airush Lithium:
✖️ Airush Lithium has longer bridles than other kites. It's nothing negative, just something you have to get used to.
Why you want an Airush Lithium:
The Airush Lithium v12 is a predictable kite with a great mix of sheeting power that a beginner can buy and progress with. Or the experienced freerider who wants a kite that is easy to jump with and can be used in many weather conditions. The light bar pressure makes this kite fun for all kitesurfers regardless of level!

What Airush himself says:
Key features:
SAFETY TRADE
The emergency safety handles are provided on each wing tip. This maximizes the control and security when performing a self-rescue.
V3.2 BRIDLE SYSTEM
The key benefit of the V3.2 bridle is that the kite maintains steering even when completely de-powered, increasing the usable wind range and overall performance significantly while adding immense safety benefits. The positioning of the bridle attachment points on the LE of the kite, combined with the V pulleys result in lighter steering, but direct enough to feel where your kite is while riding. With a breaking strength of 550 kg, the Airush pulley was designed specifically for use on all Airush kites.
UNITY STRUT CONNECTION
The Unity Strut Connection provides a solid point from strut to leading edge, to create a stiff structure that helps in performance and relaunching.
REAR LINE ADJUSTMENT
The rear lines affect the turning speed of the kite. By moving the rear lines towards the leading edge, the kite becomes static and stable, perfect for wave riding. Moving the rear lines towards the trailing edge allows the kite to move faster, perfect for foiling.
HEAVY DUTY LE
By using our Gradient Load Technology on the bridle insert points and leading-edge closure (along with double stitching), as well as Dimension Polyant Dacron, we have created a heavy-duty leading edge that supports the increased performance demands.
KEVLAR REINFORCEMENT
Kevlar, found in bulletproof vests, is found throughout the Airush kites. These Kevlar Reinforcements are only put in the most critical areas to protect from wearing while still minimizing weight which affects the kites performance.
XL INFLATE/DEFLATE VALVE
The XL inflate/deflate valve features an insanely easy and fast way to inflate and deflate your kite. The large opening creates maximum flow of air and reduces fatigue and stress on your pump. This in conjunction with the Airush high-velocity pump makes inflating your kite extremely fast to get you on the water as quickly as possible.
AIRUSH BUMPERS
Airush bumpers are found throughout the leading edge of the kites to reduce wear and increase durability on rough surfaces. These bumpers are key for increasing the lifespan of Airush kites.
SPS & FBI
The oversized SPS valve (Single Point Inflation System) optimizes inflation and deflation. The Fast Bladder Inflation (FBI) features increased wall thickness and oversized diameter tubing, thus eliminating tube kink, reducing stress on your pump, and enabling quick and easy inflation. The SPS cover supports the tubing, further limiting UV damage to the material and preventing over flexing when packing.
