FREERIDE
Shox Custom is the ultimate upwind machine and the most comfortable freeride board in our range. It has quickly climbed up the CrazyFly ranks since we introduced the Double U Concave Bottom shape on the Shox Custom. It’s built for freeride, with soft to medium flex for the most comfortable ride imaginable. We only use specially selected wood in the production of the Shox Custom.
The Double U Concave Bottom shape increases the overall all-round abilities of the board. With this shape, the Shox Custom becomes the ultimate chop eater and the upwind performance is staggering. For this year we have upgraded the performance and we have reworked the look slightly. The construction layup ensures the perfect flex, stiffness and pop and offers a fantastic balance between these elements. We have also focused on increasing the flex of the Shox Custom to make it even more comfortable for smooth freeride but still with enough pop for pulling off tricks.
Tech specs
Freeride Products designed for freeride and oldschool tricks.
Medium Flex Provide enough comfort and extra bits of performance.
Great Pop You can still squeeze great amounts of pop from this board, even though it is not the pop machine.
Progressive Flex Technology Flex on the board increases from the center towards the tips. This technology provides natural flex of the whole board and balanced pop.
Double U Concave Bottom Double concave shape provides amazing control, eats up chop and the board gains better upwind performance. This shape offers stability in difficult landings and generates more power when loading a jump.
3D ABS Rails ABS is a high strength, very durable thermo-plastic material. These rails are CNC shaped and hand fine finished to give them a nice round shape. At the end ABS rails are polished by hand.
CNC Shaped Wood Core Core is one of the most essential elements in every kiteboard, therefore we choose only finest selection wood cores for all CrazyFly kiteboards. To have precisely shaped cores of highest quality we are using a CNC machine to cut the outline and drill holes of all cores.
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.
Multiaxial Fiber Glass Due to multiaxial fibers the board has more flex in torsion and still remains very strong, as the fibers reinforce it in multiple directions.
Razor Fins These fins are Razor sharp. We have designed them with very thin profile to cut easily through water, prevent drag and make the boards faster. Razor fins also provide flex to some extend, which allows for comfortable carving and transitions. Lots of R&D has been put into invention of this incredible material. Razor fins are made from DuPont® high quality polymer filled with fiber glass fibers. This material is also used in aerospace technologies and provides extreme durability, light weight and superior strength.
Quick Fix II With Quick Fix II you can mount the straps faster and easier than ever before. Straps can be adjusted to the right size in seconds.
Ultimate Diamond Grip The diamond grip concept is based on a combination of the main diamond shaped channels for water outflow and the micropores which direct water into the main channels. This technology ensures perfect water outflow from the pad to provide more grip.
Dura Pads Extremely durable pads produced form highest quality EVA material. Layers of EVA create softest cushion under heel. There are no dents under heels even after years of riding.
