DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Power and Hangtime for Big Air
The Code NXT is designed to generate massive boosts and keep the kite stable in the air. You'll feel instant power as you load up for a jump and solid support throughout, helping you push for more height and dial in your aerial tricks. It's the perfect kite for sessions where the goal is to go high and stay up there.
Responsive Handling from a 3-Strut Profile
The 3-strut design provides fast turning and quick power delivery after a loop. On the water, this translates to very direct steering, making in-air corrections easier and letting you string together cleaner jumps.
Lightweight and Responsive Construction
The Aluula airframe is designed for an excellent stiffness-to-weight ratio. In practice, this means the kite feels more responsive to your input and accelerates smoothly through the wind window. This is a huge advantage when you want to initiate a jump early and hold that power all the way through to take-off.
Built to Last Through Heavy Use
The 4x4 Tech ripstop nylon canopy improves tear resistance and reduces stretch. For riders who are out on the water often and need their gear to last, this material gives you confidence in the kite's long-term durability.
