Rhei

The AOUA Rhei is an innovative 3-strut kite designed to combine low weight, exceptional agility and outstanding stability. Its exceptionally slim leading edge is built from the highest-quality Japanese Teijin Dacron, creating a lightweight yet robust structure that delivers precise control and direct feedback. Combined with a precisely tuned bridle layout, the kite maintains excellent structural stability. To put this into perspective: the 12 m² Rhei weighs only around 3.25 kg.
 
The 3-strut design, slim frame and balanced shape work together with a no-pulley bridle system to create a highly agile kite with very direct bar feedback, high stability and exceptional manoeuvrability. The result is a versatile performance kite with impressive characteristics:
​
Turning speed & jump performance: The Rhei is an exceptionally fast turning kite, allowing riders to react instantly and push their tricks and jumps to the next level.
 
Kite loops: Extremely fast kite loops that remain smooth, powerful and fully controllable at all times.
 
Hangtime: Outstanding hangtime for a 3-strut kite, thanks to the deep profile along the centre axis that generates strong lift and float.
​
Lightwind performance: Particularly the 12 m² and 15 m² sizes perform exceptionally well in light wind, making the Rhei a powerful lightwind kite despite its agile character.
​
Drift: Wave and foil riders will immediately appreciate the kite’s excellent drift. The Rhei stays exactly where you need it in the window without the lines going slack.
