CrazyFly
Kiteboarding -- The heart of a kiteboard is its core.
The core of the board must be light, flexible and firm. It is very
difficult to make a good core by using just one core material. What
makes CrazyFly
boards so unique is the combination of light and stiff materials
used to produce a suitable core.
Carbon fibers have amazing structural
properties. You can find them on the best products humans have ever
produced: in construction of Formula 1, in aerospace technology,
military secret programs, and the best sport racing equipment. The
result of tight intensive research and tests with developments
from carbon industry is Nano Fiber Carbon Technology exclusively
used in production process of CrazyFly kiteboards. What makes this
system so unique is the higher tensile modulus and faster dynamic
response. It makes the flex of CrazyFly
boards so attractive and the pop
so amazing.

They are a big family of people who are creating an image and an

performance, innovation and service. A great example is the Liquid

and light wind performance in mind. This compression-molded beauty
has a polyurethane core with a price tag that won’t kill your
budget. The Proof 151 features a concave bottom, a soft forgiving
rail, and subtle rocker line for easy planning and upwind
performance. |

| While these
are excellent reference materials, in no way should this information be considered a
replacement for proper kiteboarding training or experience. This sport utilizes
kites that can be extremely powerful. Safety equipment (such as helmets, flotation
jackets, and quick releases to name just a few) should be used whenever appropriate to the
application. A responsible attitude and training* or experience with a smaller
trainer kite are essential for a safe entry into this sport. Always read owners
manuals! The participant as well as onlookers will have a much safer and more
enjoyable experience. |
| *Scuba Center highly recommends training with a qualified kiteboarding
instructor. |
