2021
The 2021 Contra is a light-wind kite designed mainly around early power and efficient upwind performance. The available test focuses on the 11 m one-strut hybrid, while the 3 Strut construction starts at 13 m, so its conclusions cannot be fully applied to the larger three-strut sizes.
Strengths
- Early power in light wind
- Strong upwind performance
- Works with twin-tip and surfboard
- Light bar pressure
Weaknesses
- The tested kite is not the 3 Strut version
- Less suited to stronger conditions
- Limited independent data on the 13 to 17 m sizes
Who for
Best for riders prioritizing foiling or light-wind freeride sessions.
