Its huge hangtime lets me float in the air for a long time and allows me to land clean all my tricks.” Reviews IKSURF Magazine “The Thrive is really, really fast in the turn and fast through the sky. It isn’t uncontrollable; it just does exactly what you tell it to do. In fact, it's one of the most controllable fast kites I’ve ever used.” Gleiten.tv “In its class of 3-strut high-performance kites, the Thrive is by far the most responsive. It shines in the waves, providing smooth and controlled power. It excels in technical loops, offering unmatched performance, exceptional turning speed and smooth control.” Jason Montreal “The Thrive is incredibly fast and requires very little effort to fly… It’s more forgiving on loops, giving riders the confidence to progress.”
