Shox Custom is an ultimate freeride board with soft to medium flex for comfortable rides. This board successfully brought CrazyFly’s board range to a new level and satisfied many riders looking for high quality freeride board.
This year Shox has a brand new custom wood core construction and only specially selected pieces of wood can be used for Shox cores.
Shox Custom grabs attention with its transparent wood look and with very elegant custom design. This design shows a unique view of the construction underneath the top layer. Finest selection CNC shaped tip to tip wood core, multi axial fiber glass, carbon fiber reinforcements between the legs and 3D ABS rails are a perfect combination for an ultimate freeride performance on water.
Unlimited number of different construction layups allows us to tune flex, stiffness and pop to the desired levels and Shox Custom offers a very good balance between these elements. We increased the flex of Shox Custom to make it very comfortable for smooth freeride and gave more than enough pop for a few tricks. This board provides easy carving and anyone can feel like a Pro in transition from heel to toe.
Shox Custom is designed for intermediate to advanced riders looking for a comfortable freeride board.

CUSTOM WOOD CONSTRUCTION
This year Shox has a brand new custom wood core construction and only specially selected pieces of wood can be used for Shox cores.
FREERIDE
Ultimate freeride board. Rider will feel a new way of riding.
HIGH TENSILE STRENGHT UD CARBON FIBRES
High tensile strength Uni Directional Carbon fibers make the board lighter and you will really feel the difference during jumps.
Carbon fiber comes as a high strength, high stiffness and very light synthetic fiber. Carbon fiber composites are ten times stronger than steel, and still five times lighter. Carbon fiber has amazing structural properties. You can find them on the best products humans had ever produced: in construction of formula 1, aerospace technology, military secret programs, and the best sport racing equipment. The result of our tight intensive research and tests with developments from carbon industry is High Tensile Uni Directional Carbon fibers exclusively used in production process of CrazyFly kiteboards. Uni Directional carbon fibers strengthen the board in the area of highest stress when the board is pressured. Carbon enriches the dynamic response of the board which makes the flex and pop very attractive.
ULTIMATE FIBER GLASS TECHNOLOGY
Unique high temperature ultimate fiber glass construction makes the board softer and unbreakable.
CNC SHAPED WOOD CORE
Core is one of the most essential elements in every kiteboard and we are very aware of this fact. Therefore we choose only finest selection wood for the core of all CrazyFly kiteboards. 3T CNC Shaped Wood Core is very unique. It is made out of a special Thai exotic wood and its main properties are ultra light weight and extreme flexibility. Wood is a great material, because it has natural flex and pop abilities, which no plastic could replace. Having a full wood core made from continuous wood fiber from Tip To Tip without joints makes the board much more flexible and stronger. To have precisely shaped cores of highest quality we are using a CNC to cut the outlines and drill holes. 3T CNC Shaped Wood Core is a part of every CrazyFly kiteboard.
TIP TO TIP WOOD CORE
Tip To Tip wood core has no joints, maintains wood's natural flex properties, and is incredibly light. The rider can enjoy a light board with excellent flex and pop properties.
UV STABIL TOP SHEET FOILS
Our cooperation with the world leader in top sheet industry allows us to use the latest worldwide developments for the production of our kiteboards. By using the best solutions in our production process we have consistency in high quality and tremendous performance, even under extreme stress situations on the sporting equipment. Our new UV stabile top sheet foil maintains its original colors even after hot tropical sunrays heat up the board. CrazyFly's topsheets have excellent gliding ability, and maintain its cool look.
With the UV stable top sheet foils the colors on the board stay the same for a long time, so you can enjoy looking at the pretty board.
3D ABS RAILS
We decided to use ABS side walls construction as the best one in this industry. ABS is a high strength, very durable thermo-plastic material. The adherent bonding with upper and lower reinforcement carbon materials creates a torsion box, with high torsional stiffness. CNC shaped and hand fine finished rails you can be found on all of our boards. Bright colors help you to find your board in the water.
Concave bottom and 3D ABS rails make carving and switching between carves smooth and easy.
CONCAVE BOTTOM
Concave bottom and 3D ABS rails make carving and switching between carves smooth and easy.
We simply believe in the concave bottom shape. This is one of the main characteristic features on our boards. The board is stable in carves, easy to switch, and marvelously smooth to control. It Works ingenious during landing and helps you to come out of all possible troubles.
TAIL OUTLINE SHAPE
After years of testing, CrazyFly's designers decided to use the new tail outline on the boards. This new feature allows the rider to load up an edge when performing jumps, leading to more hang (air) time and better tricks.
G10 LOW DRAG FINS
We use G10 fins with a very thin profile in order to prevent drag. G10 fins are durable and hard to break. G10 material is the best solution in the industry.
G10 is a legend. You can not find something better in fins production. Excellent strength, stiffnes and durability. The profile of our fins is still radically thin with minimum hydrodynamic resistance. 2010 line of fins is characterized by nice colors – it helps you to catch sight your board when it is lost.
PROGRESSIVE FLEX TIPS II
It is very complicated to make a mathematic simulator of flex which would be accepted by top riders. We have chosen the other way: to make an analytic search of human feelings of our riders and test riders. We improved our successful progressive flex tips on the boards for the year 2009. It is accomplished by allowing more flex on the tips only and making the central area of the board even stiffer.
SHOCK ABSORBING SYSTEM
After a couple hours of riding in choppy water your knees are tired and hurt. Our new developed Shock Absorbing System damps the shocks from water and vibration of board during performance riding. The unique smooth feeling of riding is guaranteed with cooperation of our Shock Absorbing System and Progressive flex II control system. Both together, they make the CrazyFly board amazingly collected. Now you can ride while the sun is up in the sky.
QUICK FIX STRAPS SYSTEM II
With the brand new Quick Fix II you can mount the straps faster and easier than ever before.
With our Quick fix II strap system you just need a couple seconds to mount it on the board. Easy and simple, but the result is charming. The straps always stay in their position. In combination with our lightweight dual desity EVA pro pads you are able to change the position and angle of pads very easy and fast.
LEATHER STRAPS
New leather straps bring more comfort, maintain its shape and are very light.
HIGH PERFORMANCE STAINLESS STEEL INSERTS
New high performance Stainless Steel inserts along with new insert reinforcements are bullet proof strong.
LIGHTWEIGHT DUAL DENSITY EVA PADS
In CrazyFly, we do not simply follow fashion trends on the market. We produce highest quality products for kiteboarding to give users the most benefits. High quality and durability go hand in hand and our light weight dual density EVA pads are not an exception. Some might ask, why we do not have EVA injection molded pads as the majority of the market and the answer is quite straight forward. We do not focus on cost cutting and profits, but rather on producing best possible products. Our dual density EVA pads are much more durable than injection EVA pads. This has been tested and proved over a long period of time and that is why we offer them to you.
STANCE ANGLE ADJUSTABLE PADS
The position of inserts on the board to assemble in footpads offers stance width options. Our new Stance Angle Adjustable Pads enable the rider to adjust the stance angle, to fit your personal preference, in a few seconds. Wider stance boosts the dynamics of the ride, and stability when landing jumps.
SPECIAL 3D EFFECT COLOUR
This new technology in the color industry caught the attention of CrazyFly's designers. 3D special effect color changes shades from green to red, depending on the angle of the sunrays. This color makes the board eye catching and fashionable.
TOP CLASS FINISH
Top class finish, modern design and special effect 3D color will make other people on the beach jealous of your board.
