Airush kitesurfing brand
In 1999, Keith and Karen sold 2,000 Wipika kites in North America. This they probably too good because their sales license was withdrawn by Wipika what Wipika wanted to do it themselves. This was a slap in the face of Keith and Karen. They decided to develop their own kites under the name Airush. Nowadays, the head office of Airush is where all innovation, development and research is done in the kitesurfing Mecca, Cape Town. The Airush kiteboard team consists of kitesurfers of world level. Alex Pastor and Bruna Kajia won the freestyle world championships in the men and women with the help of the kitesurf kites and kiteboards from Airush.
Airush kitesurfing development
The first kitesurf chickenloop and bar
It was Airush who first came with a chicken loop for kitesurfing. In 1996 Mauricio Abreu started designing the first chickenloops and kitesurf bars. The bars were made of pieces of windsurfing boom. And adapted to attach the lines of your kite. It was a rather thick bar with holes on the left and right where the lines of your kite could connect. The holes were the basis for the four-line depower kite. The designers thought that you could drill a hole in the middle and pull the power lines through it to depower in that way with a loop. Depower is for losers (chicken) so the loop was called a chickenloop. We still use the chickenloop and we can still be grateful to Airush.Airush kitesurf kiteboards
Airush is the kitesurfing brand that can carry the title of the brand that has the longest running kiteboard type in the boardrange. The Airush Switch was introduced in 2001 and can still be found in the kiteboard range of Airush. Over the years, the Switch has been modified and various versions have been made. But the DNA of the original Airush Switch has been retained. And to this day you can find the Airush Switch on the water. Another legendary kiteboard from Airush was the Protoy. In 2005 Airush introduced this board and it was a real toy for the real pro kite surfers. Airush's kiteboards are always of the highest quality. Airush has the perfect board for every kite surfer of every level. Airush also has an extensive kite surfing directional surfboard line for the wave surfer. And Airush has also responded to the current hydrofoil trend with a number of hydrofoils for kitesurfing of super high quality.Check out our Airush kiteboards here
Airush kitesurf kites
The first kitesurf kite designer from Airush was Ben Severne. Ben had a lot of experience with the design of windsurfing sails and the design of kitesurf kites was a beautiful new challenge. From the hand of Ben Severne came the Airush 'Get Lifted' (2002), the Airush Flow (2003) and Airush Reactor (2005), among others. In 2008 Ben Severne decided to pursue his windsurf passion again and to return to the roots with his own windsurfing brand. This did not stop Airush of the development of A quality kitesurf kites. Many kites followed like the Airush Lithium in 2010. The Lithium is a super reliable and nice kite for the beginner and more experienced kite surfer. One of the longest running kites in the Airush kite range. Airush introduced the 'Varial' in 2010, but this kite turned out not to be a great success and went out of the range after a year. The Airush Reactor was renamed the Airush Razor and is still the most radical kite for freestyle kitesurfers in the kitesurf range of Airush. The Union came as an open C-kite more friendly kite compared to the hardcore Razor. The last addition to the Airush kite range is the Airush Ultra. A true game changers in the single strut kite segment. The Ultra is the best kite with a single strut. Super light and incredibly good in light weather. The perfect kite if you want to ride on your hydrofoil with a tubekite.Click here for an overview of our Airus kitesurfing kites
