DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Lightweight Versatility
The Ghost V4's lightweight design helps it stay in the air through lulls and makes it easy to travel with. It's a kite that's easy to position and keep flying, making it ideal for foil, Surf, and freeride. We recommend this kite to anyone who wants a simple and effective setup without the complexity.
Stability and Control
The Single Luff-Strut construction delivers tangible stability. While riding, the kite holds its course and provides a reassuring feeling of control, perfect for riders who want smooth, consistent pull without getting yanked around.
Handling and Power Delivery
The Compact Swept C Canopy improves handling and ensures a quick relaunch from the water. You'll notice its direct power delivery makes getting going again easy, which is a huge plus for surf or foil sessions that involve frequent relaunches.

FrameLITE reduces the kite's overall weight while maintaining a durable structure, complemented by the reinforced canopy fabric. The TrimFlight Bridle is optimized for effective depower and precise adjustments, ensuring the kite is reliable and built to last.
