Kite Tec

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

Kite Tec in detail

Kite Tec 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.
