You always feel where the kite is and what its doing. That means you can have the most fun on the water and just focus on your tricks, the waves, or whatever the ocean decides to throw at you.The way the kite turns and flies means its extremely versatile. It gives huge lift to jump super high and just go massive. If the swell picks up, you can grab a surfboard and ride any kind of waves. Flat water? Go for an unhooked freestyle session or light wind foiling.Whatever the conditions or whatever your riding style, Supermodel does it.Features:Easy to ride – We worked on the bridles to make SUPERMODEL 2026 even easier to ride. This means more forgiving in gusting conditions, better depower, and a rebalanced tow-point that makes jumping vertically much easier.Intuitive – Like an extension of your body, is what Kevin always says. It means you always feel where the kite is, and never have to think about how to make it do what you want it to do, so you can focus on your riding.All conditions – SUPERMODEL has been flown all over the world in all not-perfect-conditions possible. We take it everywhere and are constantly testing and developing, making sure it can handle literally everything the elements will throw at it.Any discipline – We believe that if a kite is good, its good for every discipline. When we improve turning, stability, weight, power stroke, wind range, it doesnt matter if youre boosting, riding waves or just cruising, it elevates all riding.Kitelooping dream – Thanks to improvements in bridles, canopy shape and added trailing edge stiffners, SUPERMODEL swings even better through turns, making the loops extremely smooth and catches better than ever before.Lift & hangtime – SUPERMODEL offers incredible easy jumping right at your fingertips. The bridles are tuned to keep pulling you up higher and higher after the pop, and slowly glide you down. Heliloops give you a second lift for smooth touchdowns.What’s New:AEROLITE FRAME TECHNOLOGY – Our new high tenacity polyester material: Aerolite, provides everything we had from HTF in one stronger, lighter material. The material is woven to provide excellent stiffness that keeps the shape and profile of the kite, while allowing the material to bend, to give superb steering characteristics.FIXED BRIDLE – Our rebalanced bridle geometry achieves greater depower, with carefully tuned tow-point for easier jumping and endless hangtime.REDUCED WEIGHT – Through smart reinforcements, and reduced LE segments we’ve managed to reduce the weight of SUPERMODEL A.F.T. even further. A lighter kite means quicker response, and faster flying to 12 for higher jumps and quicker catches.REDUCED LE DIAMETER – AEROLITE allowed Damien to shrink the LE diameter further. Allowing the kite to fly faster and shoot further forward in the wind window.Designer Talk : Supermodel AFTKevin Langeree and designer Damien Girardin explain what’s new in the 2026 Reedin SuperModel A.F.T., including Aerolite material, lighter construction, improved depower, and why it’s still one of the most versatile kites on the market.Read the full chat between Kevin and Damien…Damien Girardin – About SUPERMODEL A.F.T.For those unfamiliar with SUPERMODEL, can you introduce the kite to us?SuperModel is the kite that started it all for us. It is based on the idea that you should not have to switch kites when changing disciplines or location. SuperModel does it, no matter what you throw at it. Kevin often references SuperModel as an extension of his body. This is because the goal with SuperModel has always been to make it as intuitive as possible; you position it exactly where you want, and you always know where it is. One of the key reasons for that is because a big focus has been on how the kite turns. The way it starts to turn, instantly on bar input, the way it pulls through the turn, enough to have a fun kite loop, enough to do a proper bottom turn, enough to provide plenty second lift, and the way it finishes the turn, with great speed so you can generate speed and apparent wind. In the end, all these characteristics make for a kite that gives you great jumps, great waveriding, and easy starts for any level of
