When you design a kite for the riders, you know that it has to take a beating. If you have ever seen Dimitri ride, then you know he throws insane moves close to the beach. When he doesn't make it, the kite crashes into the beach more often than into the water. The THRUSTER has been designed to power through a killer session, ready for more. If you're working on multiple kite loops or riding monster waves, the THRUSTER is a kite that will get you there with a smile on your face and a confidence to excel.  Made by the riders for riders.
