Frequently Asked Questions about FLYSURFER
Everything you need to know before buying
Where does Flysurfer come from?
A German brand founded in 2001 in Bavaria by Armin Harich. Flysurfer is a subsidiary of Skywalk GmbH, a paraglider manufacturer. It's this aerodynamic expertise that led to the development of Flysurfer foil kites – unique expertise in the kite industry. The brand has become the global benchmark in light wind and kitefoiling, with over 60% of Olympic kitefoil athletes in 2024 equipped with Flysurfer.
What is the difference between a foil kite and a tube kite (LEI)?
A foil kite (ram-air kite) does not have inflatable bladders – it fills with air automatically via air inlets. Lighter and more efficient in light wind than a tube kite. A tube kite (LEI) has inflatable bladders that give it its shape – more versatile, easy to relaunch on the water. Flysurfer offers both: foil kites (Soul, Sonic, Supersonic, Peak) and tube kites (Era, Stoke).
What is the Flysurfer Hybrid?
The Hybrid V2 is a unique concept that combines 50% closed cells and 50% Single Skin. It offers the stability of a foil kite with easy relaunch on the water. Designed for progression, schools, and travel – ultra-compact, lightweight, and forgiving. Also ideal for light wind foiling thanks to its exceptional drift.
What is the Flysurfer POW?
The POW (Pop Out Wing) is a Single Skin parawing developed from scratch – not a classic wing with bladders. Ultra-light with a carbon handle, it is designed for downwind, foil, and surf. The mechanical Mixer controls the camber for constant hand pressure. Available at GlissEvolution in several sizes.
Which Flysurfer bars for which use?
Connect V3 / Connect Control: bars dedicated to foil kites (Soul, Sonic, Supersonic, Peak, Hybrid). Force Control V3: bar dedicated to LEI tube kites (Era, Stoke). Fusion: bar with the new LINK quick release. Flysurfer bars are not interchangeable between foil kites and tube kites – each type has its own bar.
How does the FLYSURFER warranty work?
2-year legal warranty on all products. As an authorised retailer, GlissEvolution handles after-sales support directly.
