The Kombats are cross-over boards designed as one-board-solutions for wave rides, trick styles and fast rides. With six models ranging from 79 to 122 litres, the Kombats cover the widest spectrum of wind range for crossover sailors of all shapes and sizes. Evolved over four generations of refinements they've come to offer a blend that has won many acclaims and excelled in many magazine tests worldwide - particularly as maneuverability and waveriding orientated crossover boards. The new 2008 Kombats have been totally remastered to preserve their maneuverability and improve on early-planing, top-end speed and freestyle performance with a sharper and more aggressive riding sensation.
What's new?
Early planing and speed: new rockerlines with less curvature in the front half of the board and new outlines that are wider in the tail section make for earlier planing, greater control and a faster ride.
Reduced thickness: the Kombat 96, 105, 114 and 122 are thinner, improving the boards' responsiveness and highwind control with a new razor-sharp riding sensation.
Freestyle: the new rockerlines with less curvature in the nose improve the Kombats' ability to spin off the front half of the board and slide backwards without losing as much speed.
More aggressive: the new rail shapes on all Kombats are derived from the Pure Acids with a sharper edge and greater release - early planing and speed is improved with a sharper bite in the jibes.
