Performance in the Lightest Winds
For years, the Juice D/LAB has been the benchmark in lightwind kiteboarding — and the 2026 version pushes that performance even further. Its refined narrower leading edge reduces drag, allowing the kite to fly further forward in the window for superior upwind ability and improved depower. You’ll find yourself gliding effortlessly across glassy water while others are still rigging up.
The 6-point bridle system enhances control and stability, even in gusty conditions, keeping the kite solid and predictable overhead. This means smoother transitions, better gust management, and a lighter bar feel — perfect for long foil sessions or freeride cruising.
Lightweight Construction, Big Performance
The Aluula D/TX frame gives the Juice D/LAB its ultra-rigid structure, translating every steering input directly into movement. Combined with the flexible yet durable Trinity TX canopy, the result is a kite that reacts instantly while maintaining incredible stability and long-term durability.
These materials work together to make the Juice D/LAB feel lighter, faster, and more alive in the air, giving you earlier planing, better low-end pull, and precise power control across a huge wind range.
Enhanced Handling and Relaunch
With a slightly lower aspect ratio and refined profile, the 2026 model turns faster, feels more agile, and relaunches more easily. Reduced bar pressure makes extended sessions easier on your arms while maintaining that direct Duotone steering feel riders love.
Whether you ride twintip, foil, or surfboard, the Juice D/LAB keeps you moving — its smooth power delivery and quick turning make it an ideal all-round lightwind machine.
