NXT Aluula Airframe Design
By utilizing Aluula, the premium laminate favored by wind sports enthusiasts, we have designed a kite with an unmatched stiffness-to-weight ratio. This stiffness ensures an intuitive response, while the reduced weight enhances acceleration. Together, these features make the Code NXT the fastest kite we've ever produced. While riding, you'll notice the kite's continuous acceleration across the window, enabling you to ride a 10m kite while your friends are on 14m.
NXT TrimFlite Bridle System
Featuring the SK99 bridle line, this stretch resistant bridle falls into the same design principles as our NXT Airframe. The SK99 bridle lines have the highest stiffness to weight ratio of any bridle line on the market. The increase in response with a reduction in drag generates faster acceleration through the window.
Progressive Arc Canopy
The Progressive Arc Canopy in the new Code NXT introduces a higher aspect pro- file compared to its predecessor, enhancing the kite’s aerodynamics for improved on water performance. This innovative design not only increases lofty hang time and super-fast turning speed but also ensures precise control for the rider.
4x4 Canopy Tech
The strongest, stiffest, and most durable canopy material used in any kite. 4X4 Canopy Tech is reinforced ripstop nylon with a 4X4 weave that delivers unrivaled tear resistance, near-zero stretch, and season-after-season durability.
Rider Customization System
Fully customize the performance of the Code NXT with our Rider Customization System. RCS allows you to fine tune the handling, power delivery, and performance of the Code NXT to align with your riding style and conditions. Utilizing the RCS, a rider can incrementally shorten or lengthen the flying and power lines, which easily adjusts the Code NXT’s turning speed, level of power, angle of attack, and bar pressure.
High-Pressure Inflation
In 2025 we decided to move towards the high-pressure valve, originally de- signed for the military to inflate their boats quickly while also giving them the ability to deflate just as quickly if not faster. This gives the rider the most durable and fastest inflation and deflation system on the market. Inflation takes half as much effort and deflation takes half as much time.
