Airush Kiteboarding is a design- and rider-driven manufacturer of kiteboarding equipment based in Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa. Originating in the late 1990s, the company emerged to address a demand for more innovative gear and has since tested its products with early innovators in the sport. It operates as part of the Starboard Group, with international reach through distribution in more than 60 countries. Durability and ongoing innovation are central to Airush's product strategy, including a two-year breakage warranty on twintips and the Dyneema Load Frame designed to extend kite life. The brand targets kiteboarders who value high performance and longevity, with Cape Town's conditions serving as a practical testing ground. A recent development is the 2025 launch of Ultra PE materials, reflecting continued material advancement.
