PERFORMANCE

Old School Big Air isn’t about chaos, it’s about control, float, and the kind of lift that makes you laugh on the way down. Machine V3 was built for riders who want to sheet in, send it, and feel that classic boost with time to breathe at the apex. The rigid 5-strut structure stays calm when you’re fully powered, so your takeoff feels clean and your descent feels supported. More hangtime. Softer landings. Less sketch. When its right, big air feels effortless and Machine V3 is made for that feeling.

THE FEEL

Machine V3 gives you that classic Old School takeoff with easy timing, huge boost, and instant confidence. Load it, send it, and the Machine V3 delivers clean vertical lift without needing perfect technique. In the air it feels floaty and controlled, not twitchy. You come down with time to spot landings and ride away.

The rigid 5-strut frame keeps the kite calm when you’re lit or the wind gets gusty. It holds its shape under heavy load, so it stays predictable through send, apex, and landing. That “locked-in” feel lets you push bigger without the kite getting nervous. It’s composure you notice most when everyone else is getting worked.

Machine V3 is tuned for smooth glide and a reliable catch. It redirects cleanly and stays supportive as you descend, which makes landings feel softer and more controlled. You spend less time saving sketchy touchdowns and more time enjoying the float. Big air feels fun again, less fight, more flow.

FAQ

What size kite should I choose?

Choose size based on rider weight, board type, and local wind range.
Use the size chart as a starting point, then adjust for your skill and conditions.
If you’re between sizes, size down for control or up for power.
If you’re unsure, contact Support and we’ll help you dial it.

How do I pick the right kite model?

Start with your most common session and what you want to feel on the water.
Use the Category and Attributes to compare lift, looping, drift, and bar pressure.
If you ride multiple disciplines, pick the kite that fits most days, not rare days.
Your setup and tuning can fine-tune the feel from there.

Are these kites easy to relaunch?

Relaunch depends on wind strength, technique, and water state.
Most models are designed for reliable relaunch and predictable recovery.
In lighter wind, relaunch takes more patience and correct line tension.
Practice relaunch in steady wind first to build confidence.

How should I tune my kite settings?

Start in the middle or “balanced” setting for your first sessions.
Then adjust for turning speed, bar pressure, and feel based on preference.
Small changes can make a big difference, so change one thing at a time.
If you want guidance, Support can recommend a setup for your goals.
