Kite

Short line kite by Airush. Suitable for beginners and freeriders who want to ride anywhere.

Designer Goals

Dave Tyburski is a pro kiteboarding veteran. He is one of the co-founders of this new concept, shortline kitesurfing. The Access was designed exclusively for short lines (6M, 9M and 12M). Short lines have the advantage of taking up less space, and therefor allowing more kitesurfers on a certain piece of water. Furthermore, short lines can be beneficial from a security standpoint; shorter lines result in shorter flight lines (the line in which the kite generates it's power) which are easier to control.  The space needed to launch and land a kite is also smaller.

The Airush Access has a new, deeper, profile with innovative kite geometry, Form and function!
The kite was designed in such a way that it does not lose performance due to the short lines. The designers aimed for easy relaunch and stability while space is limited. The Access allows you to kite in places you never dreamed about going before!
