The board boys at Naish have developed the Mutant 4’10” as a competition kiteboard for all conditions. Greg Drexler, head of board development at Naish, says, “The 4’10” Mutant is an intermediate through to advanced level directional kiteboard.
The development of the board came from the teams' competition needs.” The objective: to make a larger version of the 4’7” work in really marginal conditions without sacrificing the versatility for more powered riding.
A flat rocker and short length have been designed for early planing, upwind efficiency and power. Naish do state that their Mutants require more technique to utilize their full potential, but once its versatility has been discovered, you’ll have ‘a weapon for big-air and board-off contest wins.’
