BOOST
Airstyle, Big Air, Race
The Flysurfer BOOST is a highly efficient L.E.I Race Kite, combining explosive lift and huge hangtime. We took progressive technology and blended it with fast turning speed and everyday usability, for sportsmen who love massive airs or racing around courses.

Features
Double 3D-Shape & Pre-Tension Technology
Thanks to this technology we can produce a highly efficient airfoil, which results in unrivaled hang-time and unmatched upwind performance.
Effortless Kiting
High performance with maximum control. No un-sudden surprises with responsive and intuitive bar-feedback, easy relaunch and high stability even in the strongest gales or gusty inland spots.
Self Launcher
With the Self Launcher, we are offering you a tool to easily solo-launch the BOOST. Position the kite at the edge of the wind window, connect the sandbag (which comes with the kite) and place this on the ground. Once the kite lines are tensioned the Self Launcher automatically releases safely at just the right moment.
Free Flow Inflation
We had to make pumping easier, so we developed a new valve – with a larger opening for increased air intake and easy operation. To complete the system we added a R.E.D Pump. This pump is not only smoother and more durable, it also switches from double hub to single hub under high pressure to ensure effortless use.
Lightwind Edition 15 & 18
Enjoy outstanding light wind performance with the BOOST LW. Optimized weight reduction, higher aspect ratio and the innovative adaptive airfoil technology known from the CRONIX. These kites will increase your kiting days and flying experience.

The Wind Range Chart is to be used as a point of reference. It is based on a rider who weighs around 75kg (165lbs.) Actual use will vary depending on your weight, skill level, board size and the wind conditions on the water or land. When choosing a kite size, always use common sense and always choose a smaller size if you are not sure, especially when using the kite on land.
