Features
Full ALUULA Gold™ Airframe
Ultra-light stiffness provides a snappy response and drift control that stays locked through chop and critical sections. Feel connected without the weight penalty.
3-Strut Wave Geometry
Fast turning frame with neutral drift and rock-solid stability from takeoff through landing - it handles onshore slop and shorebreak punishment without flinching.
Forward Swept Wingtips (FST)
Crisp pivots and tight loops that carve without backstall. Get pure positioning control for bottom turns, stalls, and freestyle tricks.
Teijin D2 Ripstop Canopy
Lightweight toughness holds crisp flight characteristics session after punishing session. It's UV-resistant and built to take wave hits without folding.
Built Different.
The Crave A-Series turns waves into runways and flatwater into freestyle parks. ALUULA construction makes this 3-strut wave kite featherlight yet brutally responsive, fast steering for bottom turns, neutral drift for positioning, and pop that launches tricks clean. When conditions turn sloppy, it stays planted.

Crave airframe
The Crave A-Series utilises ALUULA for a response that redefines wave and freestyle kites.
ALUULA panels hit key overlays, full strut strips from leading edge to tips, plus wingtip-to-wingtip shock strip with double Dacron's tensile strength. This kills flex for lightning turns, locked stability in chop, and all-conditions handling.
Three-strut balance drops to one- or no-strut weight while dominating wind range, for insane backstall/luff resistance on oversheets or lulls. Precision-curved to Crave's airfoil, Quad Lock stitching owns ALUULA's cutting-edge power.

Crave Shape
Specifically designed to be a wave and strapless freestyle hybrid, the Crave has a moderate sweep and an open C arch, providing maximum flying control even when the kite is at the extreme edges of the window.
The Crave's aspect ratio delivers a perfect balance of drift and upwind performance with lightning quick relaunches.

Your Precision Wave Weapon
Progression demands control that doesn't flinch. Whether you're carving critical sections, hitting transitions clean, or throwing powered grabs, you need a kite that responds instantly and stays planted through punishment.

The CRAVE A-Series isn't just lighter. It's a technical advantage for the rider who:
- Prioritises Response: The ALUULA frame delivers sharper feedback and faster bar-to-kite connection, giving you exact positioning when split-second timing matters most.
- Demands Wave Precision: Forward-swept wingtips and 3-strut drift geometry carve through chop and hold neutral through shorebreak chaos—pure control for bottom turns and stalls.
- Needs All-Conditions Flow: From lightwind foiling to gusty freestyle loops, the CRAVE A-Series transitions seamlessly across disciplines without compromise.
- Chases Connected Performance: Ultra-light construction translates every input directly to flight path, so you feel the kite working, not fighting you.
