De-power Foil Kites
A de-power bar system allows the rider to change the kite's angle of attack while flying and therefore alter the amount of power in the kite. Depower-foil-kite

The front lines are attached to a single line, which passes through the centre of the bar and is then attached via a harness to the rider.

Sliding the bar up and down this centre line alters the length of the back lines, which in turn alters the angle of the kite.

Due to this system de-power kites have a larger wind range per kite than fixed bridle kites.

De-power foils can be used for powerkiting, landboarding, snowkiting and buggying.

Depower-bar

Of all the bar systems available for foil kites the de-power bar is the most closely related to the kitesurfing bar system, so for anyone looking to get into kitesurfing these are ideal kites for cross-training on land.

Spot Guide

Spot Guide

Big Sand BeachWe have compiled a guide to locations we use for kiting. It was originally written purely for kitesurfing, but we have added notes for powerkiters, buggiers and landboarders.

Cruden Bay

About 10 miles north of Newburgh is Cruden Bay. This 3km-curved beach with its flat sands offers good shallow waters with small to large waves. The beach is also usually great for kite buggiers and landboarders. More info...

Boyndie Bay

Boyndie Bay is a very kite friendly location, with no dunes and no major hazards. It’s also a popular surf break among the local surfers, who have a surf club right by the beach. The water state is usually a lot flatter than at Fraserburgh, which makes it a good venue for beginners and intermediate riders. More info...
