Flexifoil's 'revolutionary' kiteboard

The Aaron Hadlow Pro Model Board is described by Flexifoil as a revolutionary new kiteboard and the first of its kind. They say it's custom-made with the latest state-of-the-art construction techniques and the very best quality composite materials.

This twin tip originates from the very same board Aaron Hadlow currently rides on the world tour. The AH Pro Model utilises the latest aerospace technologies and materials also used in the snowboard industry, making for a board that is robust yet lightweight.

Flexifoil says with features like carbon flip tips and Duragrind base with Shark Skin finish and a high density PVC top shell, it is truly superior to any other Custom Kiteboard currently produced in the world.

The AH Pro Model is created in association with the Flexifoil team in South Africa, Aaron Hadlow and Ralph Hertweck, the designer of the board. Key to Hertweck's design is 'CFD' or Controlled Flex Dynamic, creating a board that can depower through controlled flex, even in most over-powered conditions.

The AH Pro Model is available in two sizes - 120 and 130 - both boards for the experienced kiteboarders, pro riders and also accommodating for the intermediates.

The 120 is a true trickster board designed specifically for Hadlow, who will be using it along with the Storm III in competitions this year.

The 130 is simply a larger version. At 2.7kg and 2.8kg respectively, both the 120 and 130 boards are significantly lighter than and just as durable as conventional boards around the 4kg mark.
