WHERE IT THRIVES

• Nature’s playground

The North Kiteboarding Prime is an early-planing chop killer, with pulled-in tips. Jump and Boost in full control! Instantly familiar, intuitive and comfortable, the Prime helps you progress faster in your freeride game. A sweet performer in all wind and water conditions, it tracks upwind smoothly and slices splash-free through the chop. Jump and boost in full control, with forgiving landings thanks to the softer flex. Ride in tune with nature, in tune with yourself.

Board Features

PROGRESSIVE SINGLE CONCAVE WITH PULLED-IN FLEXIBLE TIPS

Pulled-in tips combine with a progressive single concave with flatter mid-section for faster early planing, and slicing splash-free through chop.

Long-lasting performance rails with user-friendly smoothed edges help protect your skin from accidental scrapes and bruises.

STAINLESS M6 STANDARDISED HARDWARE

Standardised SS316 M6x16mm hardware across all twin tip boards and accessories enables the use of the same PH3 screwdriver for assembly and makes replacement of parts super easy.

COMPOSITE CONSTRUCTION

The combination of a Paulownia wood core with engineered E-glass laminate layups on the top and bottom drives riding performance to the next level.

DYNAMIC FLEX

The flex characteristic of every TwinTip Board is determined by multiple features built into each specific design. Core thickness variations and taper, as well as detailing, longitudinally and laterally, play the most significant role in controlling the overall flex and feel. Board specific laminate layups then allow us to further fine tune the flex and board characteristics. We adjust the stiffness lengthwise and torsionally in conjunction with the rocker line, plan shape view and profile of the board, to give each board its specific performance characteristics.

LIGHTWEIGHT, IMPACT RESISTANT ECO CORE

Paulownia is a highly renewable hardwood species, with one of the highest strength to weight ratios. Ultra-lightweight, with a high shear force and high impact resistance, Paulownia wood forms a non-toxic core which significantly displaces the amount of foam or resin used in manufacturing, thereby reducing carbon emissions. Each board has a customised core thickness individually fine-tuned to ensure its characteristics are consistent throughout the range, no matter your size or weight.

40MM FINS (SIZE 144 AND UNDER) OR 50MM FINS (SIZE 148 +) INCLUDED
