The best kitesurfing brands and models in 2024
The year 2024 is being exciting for the world of kitesurfing, and for the SUELTALABARRA online store, not only the new materials incorporated, remembering what has been achieved with the big air and triple loop, in addition to the racing with the Formula-kite regattas arriving at the Olympics, with several brands launching new models that have captured the attention of riders, not all have done their job of updating. Below, we explore some of the most mentioned brands and models, mind you, at least in my environment, along with the opinions of kitesurfers who have contributed through social networks or in person.
Here's the list I created for you 🤙
RRD
An RRD Religion was my first kite crush. Beautiful, high-quality, robust, and the first I saw with directional lines cushioned by small elastic lines that provided more stability on gusty days. A beautiful kite that fills the beaches with color. In 2024, they released the Bigair Obsesion model.

Duotone remains one of the leading brands in the market. Its 2024 Evo SLS model has been praised for its versatility and performance in a variety of conditions. Riders appreciate its stability and responsiveness.

Slingshot has introduced the Rally GT V3 , which has been praised for its ease of use and ability to adapt to different styles of kitesurfing. It's a popular choice for both beginners and experts.

AOUA
AOUA has launched the Panta II, which has been very well received for its improved airtime and stability. Riders appreciate its innovative design and quality, along with incredible hangtime.
Lacuna
Lacuna Kites is the great forgotten one, and if you had tried the Alpha model for big air and megaloop, you wouldn't forget. They hold the record for a controlled jump of 33m with Woo. I tested this kite two years ago, thanks to Larry and his shop NO STRESS, who encouraged me to test the Alpha 8m for six months. Yes, I can guarantee that it rises and holds its position like no other, with instant power control on the bar. Oh, and the unique qualities.
Bestkiteboarding
Bestkiteboarding remains a solid choice for many kitesurfers. Its products are known for their durability and performance, and the Roca V3 model has been praised for its responsiveness and ease of handling. A beginner's kite, once purchased, you'll use it for years due to its quality materials and construction. Remember that it's manufactured in Tarifa.
VANTAGE
VANTAGE has launched the Vulture Gen4, which has been redesigned to reach record heights. This model has received praise for its responsiveness, lift, and hang time.
Reedin
Reedin has launched the SuperModel HTF V2, which has received significant improvements to its structure and performance. Riders praise its responsiveness, stability, and versatility.
I'm leaving out many brands, including those that appear on the market every year: the traditional Liquidforce, GA (Gastra), KSP Sport, and Switchkites, which I remember buying from the USA but have now disappeared since 2021. Pansh, which has specialized in foil since 2006, offers incredible prices and, according to users, average quality. And what can I say about Peter Lynn Kites, with enviable foil kite quality?
