Description

The Flexifoil 2008 kiteboard range have been designed and constructed to deliver outstanding performance with the focus on comfort, ease of use and strength.

All the boards have three stance positions and a number of sizes options available meaning that no matter your ability, weight or height there is a board in the range that will be perfectly suited to your customers.

 

The Flexifoil Alpha board excels in two main areas: as a light-wind board for the experienced rider looking to make the most of low wind conditions, or as a first board for anyone who has just started kite surfng. With early planing ability and excellent upwind drive it is perfect for school use or anyone who is looking to progress their kitesurfing skills rapidly.

 

Easy to ride:
The Flexifoil Alpha board is easy to ride. The board’s 44cm width allows early planing and progressive flex in the tips gives great power holding ability. The straight rail enables the board to track well on an upwind line and cut easily through choppy water. Beginners will find it simple to hold an edge and start planing in light winds.

 

Easy to manoeuvre:
By balancing length and width, the Flexifoil Alpha board brings the latest in board technology to all its riders. The short length makes it easy to manoeuvre in the water, while the 44cm width enables early get up and go.

These characteristics give the rider a feeling of being on a much smaller board. For the experienced rider, this opens new doors for freestyle areas in wind that previously wouldn’t have been useable.

 

Comfortable:
The variable stance options allow each rider to customise the board to maximise their personal comfort. The light-weight Airex® foam core dampens vibrations in chop giving a smoother ride, leaving you free to enjoy the conditions.

Who is this board designed for?:
For either experienced kitesurfers to use as a light wind board or for people getting into the sport that want a kiteboard that’s easy to go upwind on.

 

What will it do?:
The Alpha board is a specifically designed light wind kiteboard that’s also ideal for people learning how to kitesurf. The board’s large width relative to its length makes it easy to perform tricks in low powered conditions.

The outline shape is based on the Delta range which provides a
comfortable ride in choppy conditions.

Features

Stance Position:
All boards in the range offer three stance width options (38, 42 and 46cm). Whilst testing with a variety of riders Flexifoil found that stance position made a significant difference to the feel of the board.

Feedback from their professional rider team led to the inclusion of the wide stance option which helps them to land powered moves with more consistency giving an edge in competitions.

The wide stance puts your feet closer to the fins and board tips which enables more controllable powered carving, great for freeride sessions.

The 42cm stance is optimum for most riders as it is a solid stance width and creates more flexible tips making the board more forgiving and landings easier. The 38cm stance is perfect for smaller riders.


Outline Shape:

Testing showed us that the outline shape of the board makes a massive difference to how the board behaves. We found that by adjusting the curvature of the board outline, you can control a number of different aspects of the board. The outline shapes of our board range have each been carefully designed to so that every size and model delivers outstanding performance.


Top Mould Shape:
The unique Flexifoil-designed top mould shape keeps the board stiff in the centre whilst allowing for more flex towards the tips and fins. This makes it easy to edge the board in strong winds and also provides great pop. The flex in the tips of the board enables the rider to carve upwind easily and generate awesome power to boost off the water.

Top Mould Shape Strength:
Our unique shape helps to distribute the loads that are put on the board throughout every session. It makes the board strong in all areas and helps prevent it from braking even after a heavy landing.

Top mould grab detailing:
To help control the board during grabs and board offs we’ve incorporated a grip texture into the top mould.

This makes it easy to hold and stops your hands from slipping.

Concave Style :
The concave shape helps to stiffen the board in the centre section, providing progressively more flex towards the tips. This means that the board edges well in strong winds as it puts your feet closer to the ?ns and board tips. It also helps the board to plane easily in light wind conditions.
Flexifoil Board Cross Section

2mm ABS side walls:
Extremely durable and strong. The red coloured side walls are excellent for spotting your board in the water and provide the added security of a relatively ding-proof rail.


Pads and straps:
Fully adjustable, strong and comfortable. Contoured footpads are screwed on to the board using the foot strap bolts (no glue required) so you can change the foot position easily. The ergonomically designed straps are strong and comfortable and dismantle easily for travel.


Board accessories:

High quality 55mm G10 fins ensure that you won’t be skipping out easily and allow you to maintain an aggressive upwind course with less effort. The ergonomically designed grab handle has a comfortable and solid feel, making it easy to latch on to at all times. The package is completed with fully polished stainless fittings.
