Aether Prism

If you’ve never owned a kite that performs in light winds, you’re in for a treat. And if you’re working on advanced tricks, there’s no better way to refine your touch and finesse than flying in light conditions. Flying with fingertips on the line and just a whisper of wind develops a sensitivity that will supercharge your skills.

Unlike many fragile ultralights, the Aether combines lightness with durability. Its frame is built with flexible carbon leading edges and spine that absorb shocks and turbulence, paired with Dynamic DT10 wrapped tapered lower spreaders for crisp response and a wide wind range. The ultra-light ripstop polyester and Mylar laminate sail won’t absorb moisture or get heavy on humid days. Since light winds can be fickle, the wing is well-balanced to float patiently in a stall, giving you time to recover.

Light winds favor shorter lines, so the Aether was designed slightly smaller than full-sized models, making it ideal for 50–75 foot lines (15–23 m). This gives you more space to move as you fly and opens up smaller flying spots that might be too turbulent in stronger winds.

As your touch and finesse develop, you’ll feel subtler and subtler feedback through your lines. That’s why the Aether comes with a floating center T, adjustable inhauls, and adjustable outer standoffs, letting you fine-tune it for the conditions and your flying style. The floating T also allows for a higher-lift wing while eliminating the hard connection that often breaks spines in a crash.

Whether you’re new to light-wind flying or already a trick enthusiast, the Aether deserves a place in every collection. It’s a delightful, beautifully balanced wing that will make you a better pilot and let you enjoy flying even when there’s barely any wind.
