CONTRA

A CLASS OF ITS OWN

PERFORMANCE LIGHTWIND / FREERIDE

SIZES: 13 / 15 / 17

K3KOCNTRA0XXXXX

 

20 years ago, the Contra took light wind riding to a new level. It has graced the quivers of many kiters throughout the past two decades acting either as their all-round everyday kite or as the ultimate session saver.

This year sees the largest evolution of the Contra legacy.

Through the use of HTD Lite and the Lite Frame technology, we have been able to reduce the weight of the kite by 15%, allowing it to perform even better in those threshold winds.

The three-strut design makes this kite the go-to for light wind twin tip riding, and also makes it the best jumping light wind kite we have ever developed.

KEY FEATURES

EFFORTLESS RELAUNCH

Even in the lightest of wind conditions, the Contra gives you the confidence to try tricks knowing any mishaps won't mean a swim-in.

REFINED LOW-END

The Contra specializes in incredible upwind performance even at minimal wind speeds. Dubbed the 'Session Saver’ the Contra has become synonymous with light wind riding and a favourite with many who never want to miss a day of kitesurfing.

AGILE STEERING

Big kite, small kite feeling, thanks to the Contra's agile and responsive steering and increased power delivery.

ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE

No matter what your craft or discipline, the Contra’s performance features make it a standard kite in every quiver, not only to maximise water time but to thrive and progress.

LIGHT WIND OPTIMIZATION

Designed with the main focus to be ridden in the threshold winds where most kites can't perform.

PARK AND RIDE STABILITY

Efficient control and power allow the rider to concentrate on their riding, not the kite.

"Dubbed the 'session saver', the kite needs no introduction. It's been around for some years and the 15m always finds a spot in my quiver as the go-to when the wind is light. With the new 03 features, the kite has upgraded performance in key areas. What stands out the most is the ability to hold in the sky with little to no wind. The wind range is equally impressive. From low-end grunt to the depower. I'm able to push this kite freestyling in boots or take out a beginner for the very first time. The kite has a very comfortable predictable feeling that can help you progress in all areas of the sport. Talk about versatility!" - Lucas Arsenault

LITE FRAME

The Lite Frame has the benefits of the proven HTD Lite Dacron along with a refined canopy design to provide the lightest most reactive kites to date. This lightweight frame increases the range and performance of your product.

HTD LITE

The next evolutionary jump in inflatable structures is HTD Lite.  We took the superior benefits of the proven HTD material which has superior elongation control and combined it with a superior reflex bias recovery and lighter-weight construction to elevate the response characteristics and range of the kite.

SPRINT 3.0

The new Sprint 3.0 inflation system increases air flow from the leading edge to the strut. The new straight and angled valves allow for the inflation tube no kinking. Its secure fit design also allows for easy maintenance.
