Performance freeride/freestyle kite
Designers goals
The launch of the Dice last year broke all our previous records for a new kite!
A favourite with the magazines and riders alike, everybody loved its playful nature. The low end of the kite has been improved this year; by opening up the profile the kite now generates more power in lighter winds. This open profile has also added more stability at the top end of the kites range too. It’s still great in the waves with the impressive drifting capabilities, but it is perfect for freeriding and freestyle as well. To ensure it excites the freestylers and freeriders out there we have made the kite more aggressive for improved lift and jumping characteristics. Of course the impeccable handling and manoeuvrability are still there, the Dice is exceedingly precise and responds to rider input immediately offering unrivalled feel at the bar.
There is no need to take a gamble on the Dice; it’s quite simply one of the best kites on the market right now, perfect however you like to ride!

I tested the new dice on my wave board in 9 to 11 feet waves, it steered realy fast but in the down loop it dit not drifted through the wind window after my turn. I loved the new safety line and it worked better than the normal 4 line system. I didn`t like the valve but thats the same as last year it breaks quickly

Thus if you actually look at the characteristics this Dice is a real combination of 2 riding styles. If you like a playful kite in it's low end and mid wind range try the new Dice!
If you like high end riding with big airs check out the new Rebel 2015.
P.S. New one line safety system worked very well.
