KITESURF

Branching off the Moto X DW kite this Lite Series product is one of the most intriguing kites we have designed to date.  A key fundamental feature of the HTD Lite material is it’s unmatched elongation control and reflex bias.  Two attributes that are shared with the Aluula material. From the moment we flew the first prototype we knew this was going to be something special.  The rigid frame that HTD Lite provides gives the stability you need during flight, while the bias reflex gives you that unique snappy turn feeling that people have been accustomed to with ‘Gold’.

While this kite could be seen as being made out of standard materials, you will quickly forget that when you put it in the air.  Sharing many of the same features as the other Moto X kites, such as Pure Form Panels and ISC.  This kite is a one stop ticket to some of the best times you will have on the water. 

The name that has always been the benchmark for anyone who rides moving walls of water, has just undergone one of its biggest updates to date. 

With its main attribute being in its name, we set forth on a task to see what we can do to take the lessons learnt on the Apex kites, and give the Drifter its next big evolutionary jump.    

The shorter wingtip section allowed Pat Goodman to make far more efficient use of the usable canopy area, allowing the tips to be far more efficient when turning.    Adding to this is the introduction of the Ultra HT and Teijin D2 materials to make this the highest performing Drifter kite we have ever produced. 

Whether you're charging down the line getting ready to pull in, looking for the next section to hit or throwing freestyle tricks on flat water, the Drifter is the ultimate product to add to your quiver.  

The all new MotoX range is a unicorn in the kitesurfing industry.  Normal development practices take an already known conventional product and try to give it a boost by adding new materials, often loosing out in certain performance aspects as new materials are introduced.  The Moto X range has gone the other way for 2025.   

Using the Moto X DW kite as a benchmark, we tasked our designers with making the Apex kite perform as close as possible to the Aluula framed version. 

The outcome is the ultimate in performance freeride, able to take what ever style of riding you do to the next level.  Big Air, Freeride, wave.  Everything is possible on this Jack of all trades kite. 

Threshold winds have always been the toughest challenge to any kite designer.   Do you make a powerful kite, but sacrifice turning and playfulness, or do you make a light kite, but sacrifice the low end power that get’s you up and going. 

Building off the highly successful Moto X platform with the combination of the materials used in the Apex Series, Pat Goodman was able to skillfully handcraft the perfect blend between power and fun. 

The lightweight Ultra HT and the new lighter weight bladders bring down the weight, but also aid in the fun lively feel of the kite. 

The MotoXL Apex is the kite you need in your quiver.   The ultimate session saver, it will have you coming off the water with that look on your face which makes everyone know just how much fun you had.
