North Young Blood 09 Features / Technology:

 

3D Wood Carbon CAP Sandwich:
Combining the unique properties of wood core and carbon fibre with an advanced flex pattern from a CNC milled 3D deck and concave bottom, the 2009 North Kiteboard range is setting a new standard in performance,

comfort and durability.

 

The unique thing about the 3D Wood Carbon Cap Sandwich is the fully 3D shaped wood core with the advanced deck flex pattern and concave bottom.

 

This type of advanced step-cap sandwich construction, in combination with a concave bottom has previously only been possible to manufacture with foam cores, which have certain limitations regarding flex, core thickness and shear strength.

 

In terms of kiteboards, it means a significant performance boost and whole new level of comfort for the rider.

 

Why is the 3D Wood Carbon Cap Sandwich construction better?:

 

Comfort:

The strong fibrous structure of the wood core allow for a thinner core profile and a high amount of bending compared with a traditional foam core, without the risk of breakage. The result is a board with a greater amount of flex, working as an active suspension while riding, providing a smooth and controlled feeling even through rough water.

 

Responsiveness:

Thanks to the natrual flex characteristics and spring back of the wood core, North's boards have a responsive and lively feel on the water, without

sacrficing the comfort. To get that extra boost in the pop, North have added carbon fibre beams resulting in a highly responsive, yet still forgiving board with instant feedback to the rider's input.

 

Control:
The 3D Wood Carbon Cap Sandwich construction has a higher amount of flex and torsion than a traditional foam wood core. This allows the board to quickly adapt to every impact from the water surface, giving the rider more space for mistakes, without the risk of losing control. What the rider will experience is a board that's easy to set up for take-off and forgiving in the

landings, maintaining good grip when riding full speed through choppy water.

 

Strength:

The wood core has three times higher density than a standard foam core, and more greater strength and impact resistance. Fatigue resistance, the ability to withstand stress caused by thousands of impacts and hard landings over time, has been significantly improved. Heel dents, split cores and cracked laminates are history. The new 3D Wood Carbon Cap Sandwich is the strongest construction North have ever made, reassuring a long life and functionality for your kiteboard.

 

Absorption Flex Tips:

The flex tips are reinforced with transversal ribs for increased torsional stiffness to create a more aggressive edge grip and pop while the longtitudinal flex remains moderate for a smooth and forgiving ride. The result is maximum performance, control and durability in combination with a high level of comfort.

 

Super Flight Core:
Keeps the kiteboard extremely light and responsive yet durable enough to

withstand all the abuse that this style of riding can dish out!

 

Hard Flex:
Allowing you to ride and with a powerful and aggressive style with no limits.

 

Y-Carbon Stringer:

North have added Carbon / Kevlar strips strategically placed in a "Y" pattern, which provides even more control and "pop" when loading up.
