Best kiteboarding komt met zijn eigen custom shaped kitesurfboards. Er komen medio 2014 drie modellen op de markt. De Stubby Pro, de Smack Pro en de Sting Pro. In de movie hieronder (Shaped in Portugal) mooie barrels en dikke strapless actie van Best teamriders Pedro Henrique and Nuno 'Stru' Figueiredo. Komen ook wat shaping in process beelden langs:
De volgende 3 modellen komen midden 2014 uit:
The Stubby Pro redefines what a dumpster/fish style board should be and it’s perfect for tackling anything from knee high slop to punchy waves. For speed and control in smaller waves you need a wider board and that’s why we pushed the tail width and trimmed the overall length to keep the Stubby Pro loose in the turns. Hand shaped to be a real speed generator, the Stubby Pro is perfect for boosting big air and hacking tight turns.
The Smack pro takes our classic shortboard theme and improves every piece of the puzzle. With sharp rails and single concave to give you control for biting turns and rail to rail transfers, the Smack Pro allows you to handle the speed and to control the power in your turns. With an optimized volume distribution that is designed specifically for kiting in larger waves, the Smack Pro lets you own the big waves.
The Sting Pro delivers strapless perfection by combining classic hand shaping techniques with our advanced Tuff Tech Ballistic Surf Mesh to create a strapless board that combines perfect flex and feel underfoot with outrageous durability. Shaped with a narrow rounded tail and carrying less volume in the rails, the Sting Pro grips the water to counteract the lift that can be created when you transition your kite. With a narrower outline capable of charging at speed, the Sting pro is perfect for down the line riding. If you think straps should only be seen on flip flops and are looking for a hand shaped board to help you take your riding to the next level then it’s time to cut yourself loose and move up to the Sting Pro.
Super mooie actie, heerlijk filmpje!
Ben erg benieuwd naar de boards, de voorgaande boards waren niet bepaald de fijnste...
Heerlijk filmpje! goeie vibe
pimpoldi had een 1 sterren sessie in Langevelderslag met maar liefst 21 - 26 knots op zijn Ocean-Rodeo Razor (2012)
uh...custom shaped massaproductie?
Morres had een 0 sterren sessie in Harlingen met maar liefst 0 - 0 knots op zijn Gaastra Jekyll (2013)
Mooie video, prachtige golven en leuk initiatief. Zal mij benieuwen, wil er wel 1 testen als ik weer fit ben (laten we zeggen maart)
Geweldig: echte grimmige gevaarlijke golven (niet van die offshore wind rides in zwembad blauwe golven waarvoor je weinig moet kunnen)
