Reedin SuperModel v3 Frozen Blue 2022
After two incredible seasons, SuperModel returns with further refinements to become even more versatile and stay true to its original mission: Do it all!
At Reedin we believe that if a kite is good, it's good for all types of riding and levels. The SuperModel is designed with the goal of having it react and fly to perfection. The main focus is the way it performs, feels, turns, forgives, and is predictable, no matter if we are riding a TT, a Waveboard, or a foil. The end goal being to take your riding to the next level and make your sessions more fun. One key characteristic of the SuperModel is how it swings out of the turns. This specifically will allow you to keep more flying speed in your kite to create more power while staying very light so you can ride a smaller kite, you can have more constant pull during your turns while riding waves, you will finish your kite loop with confidence , you will land your jumps smoother, and you will be able to steer your kite in marginal wind when riding underpowered on a foil. Our unique profile provides incredible stability to make the kite super forgiving while delivering the most glide in jumps. Our Wingtip shape supplies instant response for quick turning to give great punch when sending a jump to easily get high quickly, because in the end, we all like to jump as high and long as possible.
What's new
Reduced side strut diameterfor lighter weight and better flex providing faster response to bar input & improved low end.
Improved bridles balancing. Bridles have been reworked in order to improve even further high end control.
Internal LE reinforcementsat struts and bridles for unmatched durability
Key Features
Arc Stiffener + WingTip tensioner Leading Edge seam.
The Leading seam has been moved in order to add stiffness to the kite's arc in the center while also adding vertical tension in the strut. This new design allowed us to reduce the Leading Edge diameter even further for a kite that flies now, faster, reacts quicker to bar input and points further upwind.

DAMIEN'S WORDS ABOUT SUPERMODEL V3
The SuperModel is really a kite that reflects the real essence of kiting in my eyes: have as much fun as possible when we go out kiting no matter the conditions, being, gusty or steady, flat or choppy, waves or kickers, light or strong . The focus in the design process is really simple, make the kite perform as well as possible while making it as precise, forgiving and easy as possible.
To reach this goal, the process is always the same, I spend hours kiting in all types of conditions while analyzing what's happening with the kite, I look for feedback from our clients and riders, and look at video of our kites flying in as many conditions as possible.
I especially focus on anything negative I can find in order to correct it. I was pretty convinced that the SuperModel version #2 was the best kite that I could possibly design. However there is one aspect that I thought could still be improved it is the reaction to heavy load during over powered conditions or heavy loaded turns such as kite loop. DAMIEN'S WORDS ABOUT SUPERMODEL If you've ever talked with me about kite design you know how important bridle balancing is to kite design, so I focused specifically on analyzing why some sizes handled better than others the heavy loaded turns, and applied it to the ones that I felt could be improved. It seems like bridle adjustment could be a never ending project., but I'm confident that the SuperModel#3 is the best kite I could possibly design!
