The Apex III is the most stable depowerable kite for landboarding. It is ideal for inland areas or for backcountry riding. For snowkiting, it is an ideal kite for lighter winds because of its inherent stability. The Apex III is a freeride kite, while the Montana VI is a freestyle kite. If you like cruising and a stable, predictable kite, then the Apex III is for you! This is the third generation Apex and is a huge improvement over the Apex II! It now has even faster turning speed! You also now have a 3 meter Apex III for high wind conditions, a 5 m, 7.5 m, and 10 meter for light wind conditions!
