Wave Kite Swell V5 Blue 8m PLKB PL210105081

Wave Kite Swell V5 Blue 8m PLKB PL210105081

Description:

The PLKB Swell V5 is a purpose-built wave kite designed to deliver intuitive control, wide wind range and confident drift for all-day surf sessions. Its upgraded profile improves airflow for increased speed and rock-solid stability, even in gusty or stormy conditions, while a revised bridle setup better supports the leading edge for more direct, responsive handling. Constructed with reinforced canopy panels and a durable leading edge and strut structure, the Swell balances lightness with durability to withstand hard use in salty, abrasive marine environments. The kite’s compact outline and responsive steering provide exceptional upwind and downwind performance, allowing precise positioning on the wave and controlled bursts of power when you need them. Riders will appreciate the kite’s predictable depower and ability to drift on the edge of the wind window, plus the quick power-on when loading the bar — ideal for wave-focused freeride and surf-style kiteboarding. Compatible with standard 4-line control bars, safety quick releases and common harness setups, the Swell integrates easily into most modern kite quivers.
