Expert Review
The Reedin Hyper Model (Brainchild Edition) is a wildly fast, lightweight Aluula kite that excels at confident, multi-discipline riding but trades raw boosting power for speed and manageability. Its low-aggression character makes it approachable and loop-friendly, yet it consistently underdelivers on hangtime and lift compared to dedicated big air kites. Best thought of as a premium all-rounder with a wave/foil lean rather than a pure big air weapon.
Pros
- +Extremely lightweight Aluula construction for a crisp, lively feel
- +Lightning-fast looping — tight and high even at smaller sizes
- +Very predictable and confidence-inspiring, especially under 30 knots
- +Versatile across disciplines: freeride, wave, foil, and light big air
- +Light bar pressure and responsive steering aid loop progression
Cons
- −Noticeably less lift and hangtime than dedicated big air kites
- −Narrow sweet spot makes consistent big boosts harder to nail
- −Speed can cause timing issues — easy to over-descend or tea-bag landings
- −Three-strut frame loses shape in gusty or high-wind conditions
- −Low-V bar setup feels slightly less direct than high-V alternatives
Best for
Multi-discipline freeriders who want one kite for waves, foil, casual big air, and loop progression in the 15–30 knot range.
Not for
Dedicated big air riders focused purely on maximum height and hangtime — this kite won't match the lift of top boosters like the NXT or Rebel.

Plus-Sized Kite ReviewsWhat they said
and welcome once again to another plus-sized kite review. In this review, we dive back into the co-design and manufacturing world of Brainchild with the Reeden Supermodel Brainchild Edition. This review was brought to you thanks to more demo gear from the fine fellows at Mac Kiteboarding. So, as usu
Bottom line
ason of Montreal, to keep up to date with what I'm testing. I'm currently testing about six or seven other kites right now, but sadly I will be on holiday with my wife for the month of July. So, my apologies that there's likely to be a little bit of a gap before the next one, I'm afraid. But I will be uploading a lot of sessions and kite preview previews on my Insta in the meantime from what I've already been riding. So, thank you as always for making it this far. Until the next review, goodbye.
