What is Kiteboarding?
There is a sport that is like surfing, wakeboarding, and flying all at once. If you’ve ever been to Pismo Beach on a windy day, you will see over two dozen kiteboarders in the water or doing tricks high above it. Most of these riders are ordinary people that are simply addicted to this amazing extreme sport called kiteboarding.
Kiteboarding uses the wind to combine the aspects of surfing, snowboarding, wakeboarding, and windsurfing into one extreme ocean sport. The kite, anywhere from 6-20 square meters, powers the rider through the water. The kite will have either 4 or 5 lines up to 27 meters long that connect to a control bar, which the rider pushes and pulls to control the kite in any direction. The bar hooks into the rider’s harness, which is most often worn around the waist. A board similar to a wakeboard or surfboard enables the rider to fly over the water.

Flexifoil and Aaron Hadlow present, fresh for the 2011 season, the new HADLOW. Building on the exceptional performance of the 2009 Hadlow Pro, the 2011 HADLOW is the next evolution in freestyle kitesurfing. Created following an intense two year development period, the HADLOW builds on the foundation of precision performance and astounding power to create a kite that continues to redefine the boundaries of freestyle kitesurfing. Designed with Aaron’s unprecedented attention to detail and exacting attitude, the 2011 HADLOW aims to offer the complete package for today’s advanced kitesurfer. Traditionally aimed purely at the highly competent and advanced freestyle kitesurfer, the HADLOW continues to be the very purest performance machine on the market; however with a new depowered setting, Aaron has targeted a greater span of ability with his 2011 signature model. With a new focus on the progressive rider, you might be thinking that this year’s model has been scaled down. Far from it, Aaron has maintained his focus throughout the HADLOW’s development to produce the peak of performance in freestyle kitesurfing

Read MoreThe Anarchist is designed for free riders and those who enjoy all aspects of kiting. The board has a very positive driving turn thanks to the fin position being set very in board. This makes it ideal for those looking for that Surfing feel. The Anarchist is also very smooth in even the choppiest of conditions thanks to the flip tips. You’ll find it’ s also very quick to get up on the plane as it has a wide centre, and you will scream upwind as the critical mid section is identical to the Hooligan which was design for both speed and upwind tracking. The Anarchist is all about going anywhere and trying everything. Never say Never. Anything is possible.
