Airush Ultra Team DS 2026 Kite

The technical lightwind kite from Airush

The Airush Ultra Team DS 2026 Kite is built for kiters who ride a lot in light wind and no longer want this to be a problem. This new Team-Series version of the Ultra combines new materials and technologies that give you a direct, powerful, yet smooth experience in low wind. While the original Ultra was already a great kite in foil and wave disciplines, the Ultra Team DS takes it to the next level, mainly thanks to the optimized Double Surface Leading Edge and the H2 Ultra PE frame.

The Double Surface Leading Edge is the most important upgrade of this kite. Because the leading edge is finished on the inside with an extra fabric layer, it creates a super aerodynamic profile that reduces unwanted turbulence as much as possible. This ensures a much cleaner airflow, making the Ultra Team DS fly more efficiently and feel more stable. In practice, this means you go upwind faster, maintain speed more easily and get direct feedback with every steering input. Another major upgrade is the H2 Ultra PE frame, which, in combination with the Load Frame technology, gives the kite a stiffer structure without adding weight. As a result, the kite responds quickly to your input, with plenty of drift and turning ability. The canopy is made of durable Technoforce D2 fabric with WebTech reinforcements (the white stripes on the kite that strengthen key areas), making the kite not only lightweight but also resistant to intensive use and crashes.

The bridle setup of the Ultra Team DS is designed to be as versatile as possible. With a combination of fixed and open C-bridle points, the kite feels tight and direct, but also provides a forgiving character that is comfortable during long sessions, where you might make the occasional steering mistake. The single strut design has been retained, so the kite still feels light and delivers impressive low-end performance. The medium aspect ratio and rounded tips contribute to a stable and playful character that is perfect for foil, freeride and wave.

So compared to the regular Ultra V5, the Team DS offers several major upgrades. While the Airush Ultra V5 already performs well in light wind thanks to the single strut design and Technoforce D2 fabric, the Team DS takes it to a new level with the Double Surface Leading Edge and the stiffer H2 Ultra PE frame. This makes the kite more aerodynamic, more responsive and faster. You will especially notice this during downloops, in light wind and in gusty conditions. In short, the Ultra V5 remains a solid choice for those who want the perfect session in less than ideal conditions, but the Ultra Team DS 2026 is the upgraded version built for kiters who want even better performance than the standard Ultra already offers.
