Bottom designs

ELLIPTICAL CONCAVE

Board: NBL

The NBL’s single concave simplifies the initial steps when learning kitesurfing. The board has good grip, and rides loose but under full control. Water starts are easier as well, while any technical weakness from the rider is nicely minimized thanks to this very user-friendly board.

Advantages:

- Good control.

- Early planing.

- A forgiving board.

DOUBLE HYDRODYNAMIC

Board: 2HD

A long concave combined with a Dedicated Hydrodynamic Rocker line allows for impressive speed from the 2HD, with great stability and control throughout the ride. The board has great grip and rides like a rocket, while the design on the bottom of the board improves landing stability… not least after after chunky Megaloops.

Advantages:
- Fast ride.
- Incredible grip, stability and control.
- Very stable landings.
- Smooth response.
 

HYBRID CHANNELS

Board: Skim Foil

The main objectives of the two long and deep channels from tip to tip are in strengthening and stiffening the whole construction, thus making this hydrofoil board stiff and durable. The edges of the board are bent downwards to prevent it from drifting when getting up and riding on the foil, while guaranteeing super control and a lot of fun throughout the ride when you’re without the foil.

Advantages:

- Stiff and durable construction.

- Solid control.

- Precise hydrofoil response and feeling.

 

HYBRID CONCAVE (Elliptical Concave + Double Concave Tip Channels)

Boards: NHP, NHP WMN, NHP Split Carbon

The Elliptical Concave combined with the tip-to-tip double concave channels has been designed especially for pure freeride fun. The boards have good grip, and ride like they’re on a rail – they are super controllable and boast excellent upwind performance. All these features combined result in incomparable rider comfort.

Advantages:

- Great control.

- Early planing.

- Super upwind performance.

- Comfortable ride.

- Smooth response.

 

HYBRID CONCAVE (Elliptical Concave + Double Trust Rectangular Channels)

Boards: NHP Split, NHP Split Carbon

This concave combined with the double concave tip channels work seriously well when freeriding. The boards have good grip and are easily controllable. Additional step channels at the fins improve control, enhance upwind performance, and allow the rider to mount shorter fins.

Advantages:

- Great control.

- Early planing.

- Super upwind performance.

- Comfortable ride.

- Smooth response.

- Ability to use shorter fins.

 

HYBRID CONCAVE (Elliptical Concave + Double Trust Rectangular Channels)

Boards: Infinity Split 5’6”, Infinity Split Carbon 5’6”, Infinity Foil 5’2”

This is an expanded bottom shape, designed and optimized for wave boards. The big concave improves board control significantly, and an additional front channel and side bends stiffen the whole construction, enhancing that feeling. Double thrust rectangular channels stabilize the board directionally, thus making only two fins an ample set-up to ride with.

 

Advantages:

- Huge grip of board to water.

- Stiff construction.

- Perfect directional stabilization.

- Ability to use only two fins.

 

HYBRID WAVY CHANNELS (Elliptical Concave + Wavy Channels)

Boards: T5, T5 WMN

Wavy channels along the board, where the Elliptical Concave has been used as well, allows the rider to enjoy the full freeride experience. Board control is simply perfect, while minor technical weaknesses on the part of the rider are reduced. Riding upwind is nothing but a pure pleasure…

Advantages:
- Great control.
- Early planing.
- Super upwind performance.
- Comfortable ride.
- Smooth response.
 

MULTICHANNEL

Board: 50/Fifty

This aggressive bottom concept, dedicated for freestyle/wakestyle, allows the rider to perfectly control the board during the hardest of tricks. The sharp channel from tip-to-tip of the board make it ride super smoothly, like it’s on a rail. Thanks to this, you can ride with shorter fins (40mm) without no problems whatsoever. An additional concave improves board control even further.

Advantages:

- Super board control.

- Stability during the ride and landings.

- Excellent pop.

- Precise response.

- Very good edge grip.

- Ability to use shorter fins (40mm).

 

WAVY CHANNELS

Boards: Flying Carpet, Flying Carpet Tandem, Flying Carpet Split, Skim Board

Wavy channels from tip-to-tip of the whole board stabilizes it throughout the ride, and guarantees excellent rider comfort. This type of wavy channel stiffens the whole board along its entire length, meaning it can be built thinner and lighter, reducing the weight of the board significantly, especially in the bigger sizes.

Advantage:

- Stable ride.

- Comfortable feeling.

- Very good upwind performance.
