The addition of Twister Tech™ for ‘09 delivers faster turn initiation and tighter turning with reduced bar pressure, maximizing handling response even in low wind conditions. Our Cuben Equipped LE continues to deliver breathtaking jumping and hangtime performance. Add in a revised VP2 bridle for stability, and Best’s legendary Surf Tough construction and you have the number one kite choice for all performance-focused riders, in any wind, on any wave.

Nemesis HP: Performance and handling like no other

Twister Tech brings C-kite turning response and handling characteristics to high performance SLE kites. The unique twisting ability of a Twister Tech equipped leading edge allows you to use much more of the kite canopy to generate turning response, not just the wingtip sections.
Because your steering input is transmitted more effectively into the canopy, kites equipped with Twister Tech deliver faster turn initiation and hold a tighter turning circle with less bar input than you previously imagined possible.
The seamless integration of Twister Tech into our Cuben Equipped LE, VP2 bridle and 3D-K airframe delivers unbelievable turning speed and responsiveness, while retaining all of the speed, stability, and jumping performance of the underlying Nemesis HP design.

The Nemesis HP would not be possible without our third generation Hybrid Cuben Fiber leading edge construction. Our exclusive use of Cuben Fiber allows us to design a faster flying, more aerodynamic and stiffer kite than can be achieved with any standard material.
Cuben Fiber is a non-woven aerospace fabric; compared to commonly used Dacron-based materials, it has zero stretch under load and can withstand much higher inflation pressures. It is this combination of properties that makes the LE structure of your Nemesis HP unique and allows us to design a faster and stronger kite.
The Cuben Fiber used in the Nemesis HP is faced with a thin Dacron layer to provide additional abrasion resistance making it more durable than standard leading edge fabrics.


Best Kiteboarding's VP2 bridle system provides a 2:1 depower / bar travel ratio. This allows any VP2 equipped kite to provide full depower from reduced bar travel. Unlike older SLE designs that rely on bar mounted pulleys there is no increased bar pressure associated with the VP2 design. For 09 we have revised the geometry to provide more linear depower right across the bar travel.
VP2 is unique in that in addition to giving twice as much depower it also optimizes load distribution between the wingtips and the center of the LE for a more rigid and stable kite, ensuring that AOA changes have no effect on the stability of the kite.
VP2 provides the ultimate solution for riders who want a stable kite with massive depowerability from minimal bar travel.

Crashing your kite is a fact of life. Every single Best kite is designed with the ultimate reinforcement system, Canopy Framing Technology. The entire perimeter of each canopy panel on the is supported with a continuously-curved reinforcement zone, isolating the canopy from impact loads and delivering durability based on sound engineering. CFT is a unique approach to the tasks of distributing shock loads and effective transfer of TE tension across the canopy of your kite and you'll only find it on Best kites.
With CFT, a lightweight but incredibly strong buffer zone is stitched into the canopy sections and between the airframe and canopy joins. Due to the unique continuous curved shape of CFT, impact energy is harmlessly circulated around the kite until completely dissipated.


ABC custom tune gives you the control to rig your kite to suit your personal riding style preference and wind conditions. With three different back line positions shared between two pigtails on the rear lines you have multiple options to adjust the depower settings, back line pressure and the turning speed of your kite.
From unhooked riding to freestyle to big wave surfing, we are sure you will find a setup option that suits you perfectly, no matter where or how you prefer to ride.

High strength, wear-resistant, 4mm thick braided pulley lines with precision Ronstan pulleys provide friction-free depower action. Combined with our revised VP2 bridle design, they deliver unbelievable depower and wind range.
Because we understand that parts might wear out eventually we make replacing the pulley insert lines a two minute job, and the pulley inserts are available as spares separately from the rest of the LE bridle to help keep the cost of essential maintenance to an absolute minimum.

All leading edge and strut joints on your kite are laser cut, 3D shaped and Kevlar tape reinforced. Sure it takes a little longer and costs a little more to build kites this way, but there is no better way to connect the leading edge to the struts. Our construction gives the lightest and most durable inflatable kite structure available, yielding a kite with exceptional performance and easy handling for riders of all abilities.

The tip-to-tip leading edge seam on all of our kites is triple stitched with a full length webbing tape closure on the outside. The inside is fully taped with a full length Mark cloth strip for maximum strength with all internal seams being smooth-taped to protect the bladders from any ridges of stitching.
The Load Flex seam design provides additional support to the leading edge helping to provide maximum strength and stability to your kite; it is one of the reasons why Best kites are famed for their legendary flying stability.

However and wherever you ride, your kite will come into contact with the ground at some point. Our Kevlar reinforced LE and wingtip patches give maximum abrasion resistance to protect your kite, even when self-launching in less than ideal situations. If you want your kite to last season after season then it has to be built Surf Tough.

All Best kites now come with membrane strut valves for easy and rapid inflation without having to pinch or cover the strut valve. A new temperature independent valve material has been developed that works equally well in extremes of hot or cold ensuring trouble free operation and inflation no matter where you ride.

Precision-tolerance fiberglass battens support the trailing edge canopy section and smoothes the airflow over the trailing edge. Improved aerodynamics ensure faster turning and silent maneuvering, while our smooth pocketed mark-cloth construction delivers outrageous durability.

All of our 09 kites benefit from our exclusive CFT reinforced trailing edge. Adding CFT to the leach line helps provide razor-sharp turning response and unmatched durability. CFT helps reduce the damage incurred by leaving kites flapping in the wind.

Multi-layer Dacron wingtip panels distribute turning forces for unmatched responsiveness and enable self-launching without risk of damage. Increased surface area at the wingtips gives greater turning agility, while our curved wingtip profile improves aerodynamics and eliminates vortex-induced drag.

The Yarga is a dedicated 5 line ready C-kite design. With an integrated 5 line control bar set you have maximum control over how you choose to rig and ride your kite. With multiple safety and relaunch options there is no more flexible system for any C-kite.


The linked front and rear bridle of the Guroo helps increase the back line feel of the Guroo, making it an easier kite for learners to fly. A more positive back line tension allows riders to feel what the kite is doing, helping them to concentrate on their board skills without having to worry about the kite. Linking the front and back bridles also allows the kite to relaunch more quickly across a wider range of wind speeds. A linked front and rear bridle trades some performance for easier handling characteristics.

A low aspect ratio, three strut layout makes the Guroo easy to handle and fast to relaunch. A deep draft delivers plenty of low end grunt to help keep beginner riders on their board rather than in the water. Wide wingtips with a linked front and rear bridle help provide fast tight turning to help keep experienced riders on the same wave all the way from the break to the shore.

4mm braided Spectra pulley line inserts are fast and easy to replace ensuring that when they do need replacing eventually that you spend the minimum amount of time off the water. Made from 4mm Spectra rope each set should last you an whole season.
