Design details
Everyone has experienced it. You get to the spot and the wind-forecast has been a few knots too optimistic. With a Flydoor 5 Kiteboard in your quiver this means having fun, instead of hanging around on the beach.
The unbelievably early planing ability combined with the unexpectedly good handling is what makes the Flydoor4 stand out above the rest.
Riding toe-side, jumping, cruising. The Flydoor5 just feels much smaller than it is, however still delivers unmatched upwind performance. Thanks to the centre fin there is no other twintip board, except the FlyRace, that goes upwind better.
The proven centre fin has resulted in various international competitions wins in the TwinTip racing class adding that last bit of performance advantage. But how good is all that performance, if the rider cannot extract it from the board? With the FlyDoor5 we provide you with easy riding and comfortable handling.
Besides relaxing freeriding, you can also enjoy a variety of twin tip tricks or try out a strapless session and surprise yourself. The new footstrap system "Galaxy" combined with the "Space" footpads guarantee intergalactic feeling to your feet and provide sublime hold.
The innovative Click’n’Ride fin system allows for dismantling the matt white G-10 fins in just seconds and saves your beloved boards from scratches during transport.

Tech specs
Click-N-Ride Fin System:
The innovative quick release fin system allows for a disassembly of fins in seconds. Whether for traveling or just to protect your car or other equipment during transport, this system will make the your kite life easier.
Centre Fin :
The Flydoor5 has a 8cm long centre-fin on the heel-side. The centre fin increases the upwind performance especially in lightwind and makes it able to ride the board flat.
Wood / Foam Core Construction:
All Flydoor5's have a hybrid core, aimed at achieving a maximum harmony of board weight, performance and durability. A foam core is implemented on the toe side lengthwise, providing a significant reduction in weight. In size the Flydoor4 160 weighs 3.4 kg, bringing 20% less to the scale than its predecessor.
The new production process also plays a considerable role, whereby a higher pressure is used in the molding press of the resin content with simultaneous increase of glass fiber content, responsible for the flex properties and durability. On the side with more load, the heel side, a robust wood core has been implemented, guaranteeing break stability and the dynamic recovery force of the board.
Torsion Fibre Layers:
The innovative assembly of a unidirectional woven layer lengthwise and an additional diagonal layer (torsion layer) at a 45-degree-angle achieves considerably more recovery force, which is reflected in the increased jump performance.
Still, the flex of the board is tuned so harmoniously that comfort and smooth ride are not negatively influenced.
Scratchproof Topsheet:
All Flyboards have a special high-quality UV- and scratch-resistant coating, and thus offer a long product life. The design is protected under the coating, so that it does not get damaged if the board is slightly scratched.
Flextip Chop Control:
The core thickness on the board tips is only 2mm. This allows for supreme board control in overpowered conditions. When too much pressure occurs, the tip flexes upwards and gives you the impression you are riding a much smaller board. Loaded jumps are made easy!
Tucked Under Edge Rails:
The 'Tucked-Under' Edge has been cut off at a 45 degree-angle, as surfboards have been manufactured traditionally. This makes the board very controllable, even in choppy conditions and reduces spray.
Ergomonic Toeside:
The asymmetrical rounder and shorter toeside outline increases control when riding toeside and provides increased comfort.
Wide Stance:
Wider Insert Positions make it easier to land. There are three different stance options possible - Small (50.4 cm), Normal (56.2 cm) and Wide (61.2 cm).
