Description
The Lacuna Alpha V4 kite is a high-aspect freeride and boosting kite. It is built for riders who want a stable and intuitive feel. The kite delivers strong vertical lift and impressive hangtime. A refined canopy profile and tuned bridle system give the Lacuna Alpha V4 kite predictable steering and confidence-inspiring stability across a wide wind range.
A hybrid 8-point bridle system provides even leading edge support. It also maintains a direct bar feel. The clean low-V line layout helps reduce tangles and improves safety. In addition, the wider, flatter arc increases projected area. This design helps create strong lift on take-off and longer hangtime during jumps.
Importantly, the Lacuna Alpha V4 kite remains responsive when you give input but stays steady when you don’t. This balance helps riders maintain control and avoid over-sending the kite during tricks or transitions.

Stable Across Winds: Designed to be stable and intuitive even in strong, gusty conditions, the Alpha V4 kite works well across its usable wind range.
