Designers goals
- The World’s favorite freeride kite
- Incredibly stable with smooth consistent drive
- Fast and simple to relaunch due to the Delta Hybrid design
As the do-all kite in the Airush range, the Lithium has been proven to meet the requirements of riders looking to do a bit of everything from freeride, jumping, looping and waves. With amazing park power, stability and ease of use, the Lithium is simply the perfect kite. The focus of wingtip and strut layout in conjunction with the Delta Hybrid design insures the quickest response throughout the air as well as instant relaunching capabilities.
The Lithium 17 uses the same Lithium freeride flying characteristics in the extreme lightwind category. Both innovative in their own designs, these kites are focused on reducing weight in the overall construction.
The next generation Dyneema Load Frame takes the biggest innovation in kite construction to a whole new level and is combined with the Technoforce D2 by Teijin, for the ultimate mix of durability and lightweight performance. For wave performance, this optimised weight is essential for improved drift stability, while the load frame makes all the difference when additional durability is required.

Well, to be short. I would go for the 12m. Its just a bit faster and more playful. The 14m is still for it's size pretty fast turning and gives you a knot more low end, but that wouldn't do the trick for me. In my last session I had to swim back. The 14m fell down (around 7 knots) and I couldn't relaunch any more. So a bigger kite gave me an extra knot to ride, but if the kite falls ... This is an overall problem with hydrofoiling.
