Airush One 2021

Kite with 1 strut, super forgiving and with lots of depower.

With the new Airush One, you get a kite that is beginner friendly and has a large wind range. Already in very light wind you will be able to surf with Airush One, so you will quickly build up your confidence and will feel comfortable going out into more wind.

What we like about Airush One:

Airush One is a super kite for the beginner who is looking for fast progression! It's easy to constantly feel where the kite is in the wind window, but it still has a light bar pressure, so you can still surf effortlessly for several hours without sore arms.

Airush One's ability to go upwind is immediately noticeable. You can pull in the bar and start surfing upwind. The kite flies forward in the window to get this upwind performance. Airush One is super stable in the sky. The single strut design means that the kite has a huge wind range, while at the same time it has a nice depower range. Which means that the kite can cope well with gusts of wind by pushing the bar out a little.

The kite's very thin wingtips and strut in the middle of the kite make the Airush One easy to relaunch compared to other single strut kites.

What should you pay attention to when buying an Airush One:

Single struts kite, is extremely stable in light wind and allows you to get on the water quickly. However, they have a fairly specific wind range compared to kites that have 3 or 5 struts. Which means that it can feel unstable in overpowered wind conditions. But in lighter winds, you will probably be the first on the water, while others have to watch jealously as you surf back and forth.

Who is Airush One for:

Airush One will surprise you. It's a fun kite to surf and makes kitesurfing easy. Many people are afraid of the problems that can come with a one strut kite, but the Airush One is super simple to use. So you don't have to be nervous about choosing it as your first/next kite. The Airush One is aimed at the person who wants to surf back and forth, do some jumps and have fun kiteboarding. The kite is also great for children, lighter surfers and foils.

What Airush himself says:

KEY FEATURES:
D4 HD Cloth.
Single Point Inflation System.

D4 HD CLOTH

Making use of the new D4 HD Cloth, the Lithium Progression SPS v3 canopy is now stronger, more resilient and built to withstand the elements. Ongoing testing has highlighted the lowest stretch and UV stability, along with the highest long-term reliability of any fabric available.

V2.1 BRIDLE SYSTEM

The V2.1 Bridle System on the Progression v3 provides support to the slightly larger leading edge to increase stability, support, and wind range of the Delta Hybrid design. The V2.1 Bridle also keeps steering tension at all times, ideal for entry and intermediate users who require full control while riding completely depowered.

The Airush Pulleys are made of tough Zytel material for high strength and resistance to abrasion and impact, the Airush Pulley has the pigtails hole directionally correct to eliminate bridle wear. With a breaking strength of 550 kg, the Airush pulley was designed specifically for use on all Airush kites.

SAFETY TRADE

The emergency safety handles are provided on each wing tip. This maximizes the control and security when performing a self-rescue.

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.

KEVLAR REINFORCEMENT

Kevlar, found in bullet proof 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.

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

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.
