A dedicated kite surfboard unlocks a completely different feeling on the water – carving turns, riding waves and flowing with the ocean in a way that a twintip simply cannot replicate. Kitesurfing surfboards, also known as directional kiteboards, are shaped specifically for wave riding with a kite overhead.
These boards are typically shorter, wider and more buoyant than traditional surfboards, designed to handle the different forces a kite generates compared to paddling. Most riders go strapless for a pure surf feel, though some prefer straps for powered conditions or bigger kite loops.
We carry kite surfboards from Duotone, North, Airush, F-One and Appletree in a variety of shapes – from compact performance boards to fish-style cruisers. Board choice depends on your wave riding ability, typical wave size and whether you ride strapless or with surf straps. If you are keen to try wave riding, our team can point you in the right direction based on your experience.
