A New era for water sports is about to begin. After countless hours of test riding and over three years of product development, Kitewing Sports Ltd, the producer of Kitewing hand-held wing shaped rigid kites, is launching a brand new product for water use.
The “newborn” has been named Wave Warrior. The Wave Warrior is a Kitewing, which is used on water with a board similar to surfing or kiteboarding. This revolutionary product will change the world of water sports for good.
It feels like holding the wind in your hands
Perhaps the best way to describe how riding with the Wave Warrior feels is how one Kitewing team rider put it: it feels like holding the wind in your hands. But the Wave Warrior also brings a new feeling of freedom and easiness to water sports. Riding it is easy and safe to learn, and it requires little riding space. Windsurfers who tested Wave Warrior, learned to plane with it in rough conditions in just over 30 minutes. Riders with previous experience with Kitewing learned it in a few minutes. Even water starts can be learned within 30 minutes with instruction. And the good news does not stop here. Riding the Wave Warrior requires less muscle power than wind- or kitesurfing. Moreover, the wing is totally depowerable, which makes it very safe to use. To top it all, the Wave Warrior has a huge wind range (16-36 knots for one wing and 75kg rider).
More airtime in a day than after years of windsurfing
For windsurfers, the Wave Warrior opens a totally new world in what comes to airtime. Our test crew made approximately three meter high jumps from 30cm waves. No hand jumps can also be performed. Erik Hopmans, Kitewing and MBS Mountainboards teamrider, concluded after testing Wave Warrior: I had more airtime in one day with the Wave Warrior than after years of windsurfing!
