Kite Surfboards – Strong, Versatile and Built for Waves
Kitesurfing on a surfboard opens up a whole new realm of kitesurfing and contrary to popular belief these boards aren’t just for the waves – take one out on your local flatwater spot and you will get even more wind range from your kite. See if you can defy physics and start doing your first strapless airs or try the latest freestyle moves without being attached to your board. If there is a wave to ride these boards are at home, they love carving hard on a wave face or slashing a tight top turn.
Kite Surfboards bring the feeling of surfing into kiteboarding, giving riders the freedom to carve waves, ride strapless, and explore new styles on the water. Built with reinforced construction, durable rails, and optimised shapes, Kite Surfboards are designed to handle the power of the kite while keeping the smooth glide of a surfboard.
Unlike regular surfboards, Kite Surfboards are stronger and more durable, able to withstand hard landings, chop, and high-speed turns. With options for strapped or strapless riding, they suit beginners progressing into waves as well as advanced riders looking for powerful carves and strapless freestyle tricks.
The Kite Surfboards range includes:
Wave kite surfboards – agile and responsive for down-the-line surfing
Freeride kite surfboards – versatile and forgiving for all-round sessions
A kitesurf surfboard — also called a directional board — is designed to ride one way like a traditional surfboard. It’s used for wave riding, strapless freestyle, and smooth carving in all conditions. Unlike twin tips, it has a clear nose and tail, offering surf-style flow and control.
Yes — especially those comfortable on a twin tip. Surfboards are ideal for learning wave positioning, carving and footwork. Start with a larger, stable board and small kite in moderate wind to build confidence.
Kitesurf boards are built stronger to handle kite power, impacts and landings. They usually feature:
Reinforced decks for foot pressure and strap inserts.
Thicker rails for stability.
Flatter rocker lines for early planing.
Heavier glassing or carbon layers to withstand the load from the kite. A standard surfboard is too fragile for kitesurfing — it’ll snap quickly under kite stress.
