Duotone Whip Kiteboard 2020/21

DISCONTINUED

Description

DESCRIPTION

SMALL TO MEDIUM WAVES / STRAPLESS FREESTYLE
SIZES – 5’0″, 5’2″, 5’4″

Modern high-performance compact shape, aimed at performing in small to medium waves.

The Whip has undergone major development for 2020 to improve it’s surfing and handling. This was achieved by moving the wide point slightly further forward, increasing the nose rocker and decreasing the overall surface area of the nose while leaving the back half of the board essentially unchanged. The result is an extremely well-balanced board with incredible handling thanks to the straight outline in the tail, but provides explosive snap off the top and has the ability to turn tight in the pocket of very steep sections without any catching or awkwardness of a traditional compact shape. It blends the two worlds of compact surf and pure high performance surf seamlessly, so you’ll never have to choose!

FEATURES

CSC DESIGN
Compact shape concept delivers direct feedback and impressive rail grip.

SNAPPY AND CARVY
Perfect for tight snaps and smooth carves.

FAST AND STABLE
Speed in combination with absolute control is the magic combination.

VACUUM BAMBOO TEC CONSTRUCTION
A classic construction combining the best elements of flex and feel in a durable construction.

CORK SHOCK ABSORBER 2.0
The cork shock absorber 2.0 is applied as a damper in the heel area of the surfboard to avoid heel dents.

VACUUM EPOXY CUSTOM
The best mix for a pure surf feel, but still robust and durable enough to take the impacts a kitesurf board needs to take.

SPECS

CORK SHOCK ABSORBER 2.0

Cork offers excellent absorption characteristics and reforms entirely without leaving any visible dents in contrast to PVC. Therefore, it is applied as a damper in the heel area of the surfboards.

GRAB RAILS

Grab Rails for easier freestyle tricks, durability and comfortable general riding.

BAMBOO TECH

Bamboo is a sustainable material and comes with amazing technical characteristics. Our bamboo tech surfboards feature a high strength to weight ratio with great resistance to dents and perforations. The resulting boards are very durable and provide high performance riding characteristics.

RESPONSIVE FLEX

Using bamboo in our surf boards, we take full advantage of the dynamic qualities of this natural product. Optimized layers and the mix with composite materials help us to construct powerful, agile and versatile surf boards that come with a unique flex – responsive flex!

CLASSIC CONSTRUCTION

This classic layup is the result of all our years of development to create a durable, all-round strapped / strapless construction that combines the best elements of flex and feel with a durable construction that is proven to be far superior in strength to weight ratio than any other technology available. PLEASE NOTE: Inspired by the Light Team Construction the bottom of the Classic Construction now offers two light weight bamboo strips and an unidirectional glass beam outside the lamination to prevent buckling.

MULTIBOX

All boards now come with our own Futures Fins compatible fin boxes. Two side set screws and no rear tab allow for a wider tolerance of fin fitting and ensure a perfect and tight fit every time whether you’re using our high quality composite fins or any stock after market Futures brand fin. Easy to install and uninstall even with Sand and Salt.

My board made it ...

But no foot straps, fins, or vent plug?

Look closely through the packaging. Fins, foot straps and vent plugs are often concealed in a sheath of cardboard that's easy to discard. Also, check inside the board box, and shake the box to be sure. You'll likely dislodge a small box containing the missing items.
