Fast and Dynamic Steering
Despite its simplicity, the Mono delivers high turning speed and responsive steering. The steering is direct and precise. It allows for skillful maneuvers whether you're on a foil, freeriding on a twin-tip, or riding Surf. Its progressive power delivery and tip tuning options let you adapt the kite to every riding style and rider level.
Durable and High-Performance Construction
