Reedin HyperModel – Sharper, Faster, More Aggressive Riding

The HyperModel feels like the SuperModel’s sporty older sibling — tighter turning, more direct power, and a more aggressive feel through the bar.

Why riders choose it

• Faster turning and more responsive steering
• Sharpened handling for loops
• Punchier lift and hangtime
• Fantastic for riders who like a more “connected” bar feel

Best for: Intermediate to advanced riders who want something that feels lively, playful, and tuned for bigger jumps and technical progression.

Reedin MasterModel – Big Air, Competition DNA

If you're chasing height, speed, and mega loops, the MasterModel is Reedin’s top-tier weapon. This is their most powerful, most aggressive, most high-performance kite.

What makes the MasterModel stand out

• 5-strut design for maximum stability in strong winds
• Huge vertical boost and lift
• Big, aggressive loops
• Precision handling when fully powered
• Built for riders pushing themselves in big air

Best for: Advanced and expert riders who want a kite that rewards commitment, technique, and strong-wind confidence. It’s not aimed at beginners or casual cruisers.

Reedin WhisperModel – Light Wind and Foiling Magic

The WhisperModel is a purpose-built light-wind kite that’s designed to get you riding on those 8–12 knot days when most people stay on the beach.

It’s also a brilliant companion for foiling, thanks to its smooth, efficient power delivery and light feel.

What makes the WhisperModel special

• Super lightweight construction
• Generates power easily in low wind
• Great drift and stability for foiling and cruising
• Stable, smooth, and easy to manage for newer light-wind riders

Best for:

• Riders who live in light-wind areas
• Foilers who want smooth, efficient power
• Anyone who wants to turn “no-wind days” into full sessions
