Kitesurf board : freeride (twin-tips) Naish Kiteboarding
2010 SOL 128-131-134-137-140
The first question is always, "What's up with the snowboard outline on a kiteboard?" The answer is simple.
What makes round tips the right shape on a snowboard is the same reason its right for a kiteboard. At the nose, the round tip allows for the cleanest water entry possible without catching, tripping or splashing. At the tail, the round tip focuses the board's power down the centerline, where it is easier to control than at the edge.
The Sol's round outline, which is great for control especially at higher speeds, is combined with an efficient rocker to promote planing in lighter winds.
Unlike other designs, where riders may need to adjust their position to find the board's balance, the Sol's entire board is a sweet-spot. There is no tricky balance required, and no hick-ups. Just smooth edging, through even the worst chop. The Sol is where snowboarding meets wakeboarding.
