Products Description
Let’s face it: Most kitesurf boards are just a little too small to
paddle, especially if you’re not a featherweight. And if you’re anything
like us, you probably wish you could take just one board on a trip to
cover your kiting AND surfing needs, right? Well, now you can. At 29
liters, the X-Surf is big enough for most intermediate to advanced
surfers to easily paddle and catch waves in “every-day “ surf, yet still
small enough to comfortably kite-surf strapped or strapless when the
wind picks up. This high performance bigger brother of the Whip features
quad fins and a super fast rocker that carries blazing speed through
turns and will blow you away with it’s tight snaps. The optimized
construction of the X-Surf offers responsive and lively flex
characteristics combined with the durability of a kite-surf board,
dramatically extending the life- span of your board compared to your
normal PU surfboard.

North Bamboo Construction Technology:
North Kiteboarding 2012 surfboards are made using bamboo on both, the base and the deck of the boards. Bamboo has a high strength to weight ratio, which has obvious benefits in making a durable board that will withstand hard heel impacts and pressure dents, while still keeping the overall board weight to a minimum.
Bamboo itself offers excellent dampening properties which allow Sky Solbach who’s shaping NKB surfboards already in the third product generation, to create boards that feel light and lively under your feet, while not feeling overly bouncy or chattery through the chop, effectively smoothing out the ride. Bamboo is now becoming more widely used throughout the surf industry for the exact same reasons. Additionally, bamboo is of course a natural and easily renewable resource. We at North Kiteboarding feel, it just should be natural to care about your planet, especially when loving and living an outdoor sport so closely connected to nature like kitesurfing. Finally, on top of all of these benefits, the immaculate finish and bamboo wood grains, give each one of our boards a unique and distinct look. Every single one is not less than unique, already nearly a custom board.
