The Flysurfer Sonic 5 is a closed-cell foil kite built for Big Air, on a twintip or a hydrofoil. It is for intermediate to professional riders who want more height, longer hangtime and more jumps per session.
Efficient upwind performance and low drag get you back to your take-off point faster, redesigned wingtips give smoother, rounder Heliloops, and the high-lift profile slows your descent for softer landings. Flysurfer describes it as the most popular Big Air training kite among elite riders.
Each size comes in its own colour: 7 m LIT Orange, 10 m Ceramic, 12 m and 15 m Mellow Yellow.
