Flite 3S
A-Series
Defy the Lulls
The Flite 3S A-Series is our lightest 3-strut kite, built for riders who refuse to call it a day when the wind backs off. With a full ALUULA airframe, it stays light, rigid, and responsive in conditions where heavier kites start to sag and stall. This is your lightwind kite for marginal forecasts, longer sessions, and the kind of days when the water is too good to leave.
Features
Full ALUULA Gold Airframe
Built with an ALUULA‑light frame, the Flite 3S A‑Series sheds weight while keeping serious structure. This means a more rigid, snappier feel in light winds, with quicker feedback and cleaner power delivery when every knot counts.
3-Strut Precision Geometry
The refined 3‑strut layout keeps the kite agile and nimble while still holding its shape across the window. You get a light, crisp rig that stays predictable and confidence‑inspiring, even when you’re pushing the edges.
Gravity-Defying Drift
Ultra‑low weight translates into longer, smoother drift & instant re‑engagement when tension drops. Whether you’re floating through transitions or riding switch, the kite stays close & controllable without falling behind.
Instant Lightwind Relaunch
When the breeze is thin, the Flite 3S A‑Series comes alive with a quick, tip‑first relaunch. It powers back up fast and stays in the air without dog‑walks, so you spend more time riding and less time swimming.
The New benchmark in Light wind Performance
When the wind drops, the difference is in the details. The Flite 3S A‑Series isn’t just about being lighter, it’s about redefining how a high‑performance lightwind kite behaves when the forecast is barely rideable.
By combining an ultra‑light ALUULA‑built airframe with a finely tuned 3‑strut profile, this kite feels stiff, efficient, and responsive even in the sketchiest conditions. It generates steady, predictable pull for freeride cruising, solid platform stability for foiling, and intuitive handling that makes larger sizes feel surprisingly manageable.
While others are packing up, the Flite 3S A‑Series keeps you on the water, turning lulls into sessions and flat water into opportunities.

Flite 3S A-Series Airframe
The Flite 3S A-Series is your ultralight weapon for when the wind can’t be trusted. Built on a full ALUULA airframe, this three‑strut platform reacts the instant you load it, stays lively in nothing breeze, and doesn’t flinch when the gusts finally arrive.
The wide, efficient frame squeezes serious pull out of every square metre, with fast acceleration and locked-in stability that makes lightwind sessions feel like cheat mode. It’s a supercharged freeride machine for riders who want real low-end power, clean control, and a kite that’s always ready to send harder when the forecast finally wakes up.

Flite 3S A-Series Shape
The Flite features a high aspect ratio to produce greater lift and while generating less drag for a kite that lifts you windward.
PURE ALUULA. PURE PERFORMANCE.
The A-Series sits at the sharp end of Ocean Rodeo lightwind design, built for riders who want more time on the water and less time watching the forecast.
Sharper Feedback: The stiffness of the ALUULA frame gives the kite a direct, connected feel through the bar.
- Easy Handling: Reduced swing weight makes the bigger sizes feel more manageable, with smoother control and less fatigue over long sessions.
- Session Insurance: When the forecast barely makes it, the Flite 3S A-Series will keep you riding while everyone else is packing down.
