Mcurrently many kitesurf brands present their new kitesurfing equipment. We wrote about it earlier 8 other Big Air kites. In this kiteblog we consider the new ones Airush Elevator. A showpiece from Airush. Airush is a kitesurfing brand from the very beginning. Our experience with Airush in kite surfing goes back to the year 2000.
Airush Lift as an ultra performance freeride kite
It is said that the Airush Lift is the kite that really put Airush on the map 15 years ago. With a team of kitersurfers and kite designers, the Lift has been further developed into the kite it is today. The Airush Lift is positioned as a kite for kite surfers who go for it airstyle, big air and hangtime. These riding styles are becoming more and more popular. A so-called 'performance freeride kite'.
The Lift should be a kite that offers kite surfers confidence and stability. Especially when it is all about in the wildest conditions. The hangtime would be exceptional and the power explosive. In addition, the Lift would be very stable in strong winds and gusts and therefore easy to kite surf.
Gijs Wassenaar about the Airush Lift
Our Gijs Wassenaar states in the video that the Airush Lift comes into its own when it goes for extreme hangtime when the wind blows.
Sometimes, I want to go big and as far as possible to scare the shit out of myself and having fun at the same time
Gijs Wassenaar
We contacted Gijs for a moment and he put his money where his mouth was. He immediately sent us a fragment during summer storm Francis with the Airush Lift. How cool is that!
Other characteristics
- 5 struds spread over the canvas. A very robust and sturdy frame.
- A bridle setup specially developed and aimed at controllability. Even when fully depowered.
- The Airush Load frame developed with wire connections like a spider web (visible by the strands in the spinnaker cloth) that have a high bearing capacity.
- New technologies have been applied to reduce weight and make the kite stronger.
