A beautiful kitesurfing board.

We have tested this board in the 5’5 size.

It is an excellent board for the those mushy broken sloppy waves. It is very versatile and forgiving; you can wipe the wave, jump on the wave, go easily upwind, everything, it does everything well.It is very light, responsive, fast, stable. It is a lot of fun.

It is one of the best kitesurfing boards for the kiteboarder who wants to start kitesurfing waves. The transition from a twintip to this directional board is really easy as it comes with straps, you can start riding immediately. Of course, you will have to be familiar with riding toeside or jibing otherwise you will have to stop to change direction.

Today, more and more people are realizing that the solution is not using bigger kites but using floaty kitesurfing boards instead. The principle behind is that when using a positively buoyant board, the pull of the kite is only needed to move the kitesurfer on the surface of the water rather than out of the water and therefore much less energy is needed.
