In recent years, there has been an insurgency of companies that manufacture and distribute kites throughout the world. Some kite manufacturers provide a quality and safely manufactured system that will provide countless hours of fun for the novice to intermediate surfer. Other systems offer a safe yet scaled down version of RAM air foiled kites. Wipika offers some of the best kites in the business today. Few offer a wide line of kites that can get the beginner as well as the intermediate surfer the ride of their lives. Here are some of the models available today.
WIP, a luxurious lightweight kite aimed at thrill seekers who enjoy high performance action and an extreme ride. Imagine how fast your kite can keep you skimming the waves and hitting elevating patches of air that will have your stomach in your throat. This model gives the rider everything they can ask for in a quality kite.
The Amp + will keep your heart racing and keep you in the air. It’s “ramping lift” will make you feel like you can fly right off the waves on a good turn into the wind. If jibing and jumping are in your repertoire this kite is an excellent match. Imagine the looping and switchovers you can perform with this kite. Your transitions will be seamless.
The Matrix is another radically designed kite that is versatile in design and structure. Considered a progressive kite that can help you get air and up off the water, the kite itself lends a smooth more even ride. Whether you are pulling a 2-line or 4, Matrix is an excellent model to get you going.
The Hydro 3 is one of the best starter kites on the market today. As with getting involved in any sport, there is an initial cost to get the ball rolling.

Designed as a forgiving stable kite, it will still get the surfer up to speed and enough lift to get you up in the air.
The Core, if you are brand new to kitesurfing this is your kite! A forgiving 2 or 4 line compatible kite that will be safe and use to get up and in the air. Core provides a sleek easy to maneuver kite and will help you stay within a budget if you are just getting ready to take up this sport.
