Twintip kiteboard

Do you want to buy a twintip kiteboard and want to know more about it first? Below you will find everything you need to know! The twintip kiteboard is the most commonly used kiteboard, due to its versatile and playful character. This type of kiteboard is used for freeriding , freestyling and wakestyling . Twintip kiteboards are symmetrical in shape and can therefore be sailed in two directions. Food pads are mounted on a twin-tip kiteboard that you can adjust to the shape of your foot and kitesurfing style. Freestyle and wakestyle kiteboards are also ridden with boots, which provides even more strength for more explosive pop and power. Twin tip kiteboards also have fins, on each side there are two fins that provide grip while sailing. Below we describe the different twin tip kiteboards available from Shaka kitesurfing.

Freeride kiteboard

The freeride kiteboard has been developed to sail well under different conditions and for a variety of kitesurfing styles. From flat water to choppy water on the sea. With a freeride kiteboard you can cruise great and also start with your first freestyle tricks. Do you want to jump a raley, make your first big jumps or do a kite run? You can also do all this with a freeride kiteboard under your feet! These kiteboards are less stiff in terms of flex and therefore sail smoothly through choppy water and offer softer landings on big jumps. A freeride kiteboard has fins that are slightly longer than those on freestyle and wakestyle kiteboards, which offer more grip when sailing at high speed. Are you an all-rounder and do you want to do and learn everything in kitesurfing? Then you should buy a freeride kiteboard!

Freestyle kiteboarding

Do you want a playful kiteboard with lots of pop and power? Then you should buy a freestyle kiteboard. Freestyle kiteboards are stiffer, stronger, lighter and have more rocker than freeride kiteboards. Freestyle boards also have a different 'outline', they look more rectangular from above. These features give the board more pop and power when you use your tricks and you can jump even higher. The fins of a freestyle kiteboard are shorter, which means less grip but more fun! Freestyle kiteboards are sailed with footpads and are also sailed with boots by experienced kite surfers.

Wakestyle kiteboard

Wakestyle is freestyle. Yet there are differences in these types of boards. A wakestyle kiteboard is even stiffer, larger and has more rocker than a freestyle kiteboard. The fins are also smaller or missing if you want to go over obstacles. Would you like to wakestyle and do all your tricks with your kite at 10 o'clock? Then you should buy a wakestyle kiteboard!

Light wind kiteboard

Light wind is relatively common in the Netherlands.
