Taking lightweight kitesurf boards towards a ridiculously light & strong level! The Black Ribbon technology is the first line of kitesurf boards in the world made with Aerospace technology!
The internal EPS core with only 15 kg/m3 density is extra compact by the use of a special mould. This unique mould creates a perfectly sealed surface where the epoxy resin penetrates the layup at just the right amount. This creates the perfect bond between each layer, but not too excessively that would simply add weight and no specific structural strength.
For added reinforcements without significantly increasing weight, we added a 3 mm PVC foam layer on the deck to maximize impact resistance in addition to keeping the structure as light as possible. In addition, a full bamboo bottom sandwich layer creates the perfect blend between ding and dent strength on the bottom of the board. The entire structure is then fully covered with a complete layer of 160 grams Biaxial fibres combining a 45° mix between Carbon and Innegra fibres.

The new Black Ribbon construction provides a lightweight and strong kiteboard while maintaining a significant amount of flex compared to a full carbon layer.

The Classic PU construction has been developed to create pure surfboards and to allow control over choppy waters. We have improved the weight and strength of the boards this year. We are now using a hi-volume lightweight pigment in the resin. This type of resin fills up the holes in the foam and reduces the amount of resin content in the glass fibres, making the boards lighter. The Classic boards have low fibre memory and low foam memory at the same time. This low memory gives the boards the right flex e feel. We recommend the Classic PU technology to the riders who love a comfortable, pure surfing feel under their feet.
