There is a brand new sport that is like surfing, wakeboarding, and flying all at once. If you’ve ever been to Pismo Beach on a windy day, you will see over two dozen kiteboarders in the water or doing tricks high above it. Most of these riders are ordinary people that are simply addicted to this amazing extreme sport called kiteboarding.
Kiteboarding uses the wind to combine the aspects of surfing, snowboarding, wakeboarding, and windsurfing into one extreme ocean sport. The kite, anywhere from 6-20 square meters, powers the rider through the water. The kite will have either 4 or 5 lines up to 27 meters long that connect to a control bar, which the rider pushes and pulls to control the kite in any direction. The bar hooks into the rider’s harness, which is most often worn around the waist. A board similar to a wakeboard or surfboard enables the rider to fly over the water.

The new 09 signature model Hadlow Pro has been designed specifically for the needs of the world champion PKRA kitesurfer Aaron Hadlow. We’ve worked tirelessly over the past year - tweaking, tuning and improving the 08 AHPRO design, to improve the kites performance which is already likened to an F1 car. The performance enhancement seen with the new 09 design is impressive. Aaron specifically wanted us to improve the larger kites ability to drive quickly to the top of the window during the kiteloop. This has been achieved, the new kite races to the top of the window enabling massive powered driving megaloop and with predictable responsive control and soft landing. We’ve also improved the kites re-launch ability, reduced the weight, made the kite stronger and improved the bar feedback. You know where the kite is and what it is doing at any given time. These improvements have helped Aaron achieve what no kitesurfer has ever done before; win five consecutive PKRA world titles and become the world’s undisputed best freestyle kiteboarder. The new AH Pro is the kite of choice for the advanced freestyle rider who is looking to push their level of riding and are looking for a kite that will not hold them back, they’re designed for the fearless and the brave - have you got what it takes?!
