I learnt on a 12m DNA and switch board. Great kite to learn on and still have the board. Cranks upwind and my mate changed his axis board after trying mine.

The bar ends are small, the lines can flop off easily when you're trying to set up.
Surfboards are quite light, even in flytech construction from 4/5 years ago.

The service, quality, people and brand mission are spot on.
Their gear performs exactly as advertised.
I've been kiting for nearly 20 years (wake, surf, freestyle & foil) and gone in stages dealing with different brands, mainly, Airush, Liquid Force, Cabrinha, Slingshot, Naish & Best. All of those brands have their strengths and weaknesses, but Airush has come out on top from my personal experience.
There are a lot of good kite brands out there, but there's also a handful of shitty ones. Airush, no doubt, is in the circle of one the best kite brands out there.
Good luck with whatever you're up to.

Kites: among the most durable on the market, if they suit your needs. For me they killed the Union as of V4 - so I'm on something else now.
Bars: not the best in terms of gimmicks - but very solid, dependable, easy to service and maintain. I've been running a pair of Airush bars for the last 4 seasons, sill on original lines, but with new trimmers and chicken loops. Don't plan on changing these any time soon.
Good stuff over all.

We use Airush gear in our school. We do not do retail so we really depend on how our gear holds up. Airush has not let us down for since we changed over 4 years ago. There is a lot of good manufacturers around but we really are pleased with Airush.

I can only comment for the kiteboards and I have owned 4 Airush TT boards and 6 TT boards from other copmpanies through the years and I can say that the Airush boards are very very durable and can handle a lot of abuse, and they are also well designed and the models I owned ticked many boxes for all around TT performance.

Owner of a Ultra 12 meter kite. I will never sell it. So far the best kite for light wind. I have a liuthim, very good kite but there are so many brand with very good kites. Also, past owner of DNS, create kite for bigginers. The bars are ok.

Never had an Airush board but love the kites.
Have had Naish, Flexifoil and Wainman in the past but moved to Airush Varial x, then went to Waves and now on Lithium V11... great for free-ride, and foiling, a great all rounder. Never had any issues with the bar and lines, strong construction and great quality, does everything I want it to.
What are you looking for recommendations on?

Board quality is great, my first board was an 2010 airush switch, and i still use it to this day, bulletproof construction.
I am using a 2019 Ultra v2, so i cannot comment on the durability, but it is a great performing kite.
