WAVERIDING

The 4th generation TAINA 2015 comes in
4 color options, with a kite bag and repair kit.

The Taina reacts very well to bar input, can be steered
one-handed, and has a very precise feel allowing riders to
position the kite anywhere in an instant. The kite’s excellent
depower gives riders the option to surf with or without kite
power. There is no need to look at the kite to know where it
is, allowing riders to completely focus on the wave.

FREERIDE/OLDSCHOOL

blue & green

This all-round beast turns sharp, jumps high, has incredible
grunt, and catches well during mega-loops. Due to its great
depower, sending the kite in overpowered conditions without losing your edge is easily achieved. Its power delivery is
exponential, giving the kite a superb vertical lift.

RACING/SPEED
The Taina has incredible upwind performance and the ability
to fly on all points of sail. With small wingtips, a big projected area, and only 3 struts, we have achieved the highest
power to drag ratio, making the Taina a top competitor for
racing on water and snow.

BEGINNERS/KITESCHOOLS
The Tania’s performance excels in its user-friendly characteristics. Its profile is shaped in a way that makes the kite
virtually impossible to stall and re-launches effortlessly. The
Taina’s total depower ability makes this kite is very safe and
easy to use.
