Kite boards have taken technology from many different sports. Many different designs and concepts have been adopted from wake boards and even water skis. But due to the unique forces involved with flying the kite, the vectored forces from the kite does not really allow the same principals to be adopted here. So, what do we really want from a kite board? Feel! We want the board to have smooth predictable performance. Not have it skipping out and not being able to control it in varying wind and sea conditions. The better it feels the more control you have. And one of the best way to design feel into a board is with controlled flex.
