DESCRIPTION FROM Reedin
Revolutionize your freeride sessions with the 2026 Mastermodel— Reedin's first 5-strut kite and the lightest on the market. Developed in Maui's intense conditions through tight collaboration with Ralf Groesel and Brainchild, this groundbreaking bow kite shatters weight barriers (up to 700g lighter than competitors) while delivering unmatched low-end power, drift stability, extreme vertical take-offs for your highest jumps, and precision steering for razor-sharp kite loops. Its unique profile supported by the 5-strut platform provides a super stable canopy, ensures explosive lift, intuitive steering, and massive depower range transform marginal conditions into unforgettable sessions. Available in vibrant blue gradients, sizes from 5m² to 12m² making it the versatile essential for riders pushing boundaries in 8-35+ knots.
The Mastermodel isn't just light, it's the pinnacle of engineering in big air kiteboarding. The real magic hits the second you jump: explosive vertical lift, followed by a second surge that stretches hang time like no other. You're not drifting-you're hovering. And when you land? It still turns on a dime. The synergy of the Mastermodel's arc and profile make for leaderboard power without the weight. Welded end-to-end with Brainchild PROWELD technology.
