Airush's Latest Kite and Wing Innovations | An Exclusive Interview with Sam Medysky

At the MACkite "King of the Great Lakes Test Fest" in 2023, the excitement was palpable, especially after navigating through some challenging years. The highlight was an interview with Sam Medysky, a seasoned kiteboarder who’s been affiliated with Airush since 2017. Sam reminisced about his kiting journey, which began in 1998, and his first kite, a Wipika Classic 8.5m two-line kite.
The conversation shifted to Airush's innovations. They've streamlined their kite range to four primary models: Ultra, Lithium, Session, and Lift. These kites are available in two distinct constructions, with the Team Construction featuring advanced materials like the Hokipa leading edge for enhanced performance and durability. The fabric is sourced from Challenge, a US-based company, reflecting the industry's evolution in materials and design.
Sam also shared insights from his personal kite collection, emphasizing the versatility and joy of both kiting and winging. The interview wrapped up with a nod to the future, hinting at innovative designs like a foiling umbrella and acknowledging the rapid evolution and growth of wind sports over the decades.

I know valves are not interesting for Marketing but it would be nice to have Valves in the Kite that last longer please.

[@MACkiteboarding]

Sorry to hear you've had issues with the valves. If you bought the kite from us, please reach out to [e-mail]. We have not seen any consistent issues with the valves on these.
