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
The ALUULA frame cuts weight without losing backbone, giving the Flite 3S A-Series a stiffer, faster, more reactive feel in light air.
3-Strut Precision Geometry
A refined 3-strut design keeps the kite light on its feet while holding enough structure to stay composed through the window. Fast, direct, and easy to trust.
Gravity-Defying Drift
Light weight means better drift and better control when the lines go slack. Ideal for those wanting a drift kite that stays with them through the turn.
Instant Lightwind Relaunch
When the wind’s thin, relaunch matters. The Flite 3S A-Series rolls onto a tip and gets back in the sky fast, helping you stay out longer and swim less.
The New Standard in Light wind Performance
In light wind, every gram counts. The Flite 3S A-Series isn’t just a lighter kite, it’s a high-performance lightwind kite designed to keep you riding when others are sitting on the beach. The combination of our ALUULA airframe and refined 3-strut architecture creates a kite that feels rigid, efficient, and unusually alive in marginal air.
It delivers the smooth pull you want for freeride sessions, the stability you need for foiling, and the kind of easy handling that makes bigger sizes feel far less cumbersome. When the whitecaps disappear, the Flite 3S A-Series stays in the game.

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.
