KiteTec

Dive into the High-End Innovations Behind Our Boards: Durability, Performance, and Lightweight Excellence.

KiteTec in detail

KiteTec is SUNOVA’s specialized kiteboard construction. Designed to stand up to the punishment that these types of boards receive over and over again, yet still be a lightweight, high performance option, it is available in all of our kiteboard shapes.

A high density EPS core is coupled with a ½” parabolic balsa rail that is then sandwiched between balsa skins top and bottom offering a product with unmatched durability and longevity. The bottom is a 1.5mm balsa/fiberglass sandwich that is not completely rigid. This softer area on the bottom cushions the ride of the board, making it amazingly unaffected by chatter, giving you a smooth ride even when conditions are bumpy and average, making it exceptional for tracking upwind. The deck is a 2mm balsa/fiberglass sandwich with mini I beams that connect the glass under the wood, with the glass over. Under the balsa skin is an additional 3mm high density foam layer, sandwiched between fiberglass. This gives you a double sandwich reinforced standing area making the board almost indestructible and creating a strong and responsive feeling underfoot.

Finished off with solid balsa nose and tail blocks for additional resistance to dings, these boards look even better than they perform. Available in a range of colors with inserts options too, you can find a board that will really suit your needs.
Morphlex is SUNOVA’s premium performance construction. Developed over the last 5 years, from the ever persistent pursuit of perfect performance, It is our primary construction for all surfboards under 8’. Morphlex is designed to have more spring and return in shorter boards than its Balsa Flex predecessor, giving you a positive “more flexible” flex pattern as the board is loaded and unloaded through sections. “Morphing” and bending right into the pocket and rebounding predictably these boards fly out of sections with so much speed and life. A lightweight EPS core is coupled with a ½” parabolic balsa/composite rail that is then sandwiched between balsa skins top and bottom offering a product with unmatched spring and return. 

The bottom is a 1.5mm balsa/fiberglass sandwich that is not completely rigid. This softer area on the bottom cushions the ride of the board, making it amazingly unaffected by chatter, giving you a smooth ride even when conditions are bumpy and average. The deck is a 2mm balsa/fiberglass sandwich with highlighted mini I beams that connect the glass under the wood, with the glass over. This creates a very rigid strong sandwich structure that is incredibly resistant to compressions, creating a strong and responsive feeling underfoot. 

Finished off with solid balsa/composite nose and tail blocks for additional resistance to dings, these boards look even better than they perform. Fitted with a self-regulating air vent that utilizes a slightly permeable Goretex membrane encased in a special aluminum vent designed and engineered by TBF, Morphlex boards are functional and forward-thinking. Available in 6 layup types (Vapour Light, Team, Standard, Bullet Proof, Super Bullet Proof, Bomb Proof) there is literally something to suit everyone.
