Ydwer’s Recovery
Fundraiser launches for prolific kiteboarding photographer, Ydwer van der Heide, as he faces recovery from a serious spinal injury.
READ MOREReleased in time to make the absolute most of the optimal autumn/winter wind season, FLYSURFER have just announced the release of the SPEED4 Lotus in 8.0 & 10.o metre sizes.

– Higher aspect ratio design of AR5.8 instead of AR4.8, producing more performance, lift and hangtime!
– More cells for even more rigidity, efficiency and less drag
– Completely re-worked canopy profiles

– The old-school/airstyle/hangtime machine is now also a high-wind weapon of choice!
– Incredibly fast and efficient, and not only around a race course!
