TOTEM

ALL PURPOSE KITES

You dreamed about a kite that would be great for freestyling, wave riding, freeriding and racing: WE MADE IT!

The TOTEM kites stand up to this challenge.

A Unique and SImple Range : 6.5 - 9 - 12 - 14.5

The kites feature an amazing low wind and high wind range, due to the aerodynamics of the construction.

6.5

Ideal for strong winds. Starts really early. Perfect for kite schools and young people. This will be your reference kite if you ride in the South of France (Tramontane and Mistral winds usually blow 30/45 knots). A piece of cake to use and relaunch from the water: just pull one of the back flying lines.

9

This will be your reference kite if you are under 140 pounds in most places, or if you ride with a surfboard. Extremely easy to use. Relaunching very easy too. By the way, it is really hard to "lay" the kite on the water on its leading edge: it will tend to relaunch.

12

You will be blown away how fast this kite is. It turns as easily as a C Kite, and it feels more like a 10 when it comes to turning. Maximum speed and hangtime are top.

14.5

You are a heavy weight and you want to ride when the wind blows 6 knots with a race board? This is the ultimate racing weapon. Ideal for tradewinds in the Carribean or Florida. The low wind and high wind range surpasses most 16 m2 kites.

Note: it is really difficult to give precise wind ranges in knots. So many options can change the low wind range: wieght of rider, proficiency, size and type of board (twin tip, surf, race board, SUP, foil...), the width of your board, size of fins, flat of choppy water, lattitule (hot tradewinds require bigger kites, compared to more tempered areas, such as Europe, so you need 2 extra square meters in the Carribean or Florida for instance).
