Its powerful yet comfortable character is confidence-inspiring even in rough, choppy conditions. Peerless performance derived, in part, from its new hull features.</p> <p>CENTER KEEL</p> <p>The new and distinctive keel cuts through chop and delivers an unmatched level comfort especially in tougher, gustier, conditions.</p> <p>DOUBLE CONCAVE</p> <p> </p> <p>The double concaves straddle the hard keel and generate additional grip especially when loading the edge. And who does not enjoy the adrenalin rush in anticipation of a perfect launch?</p> <p>TUCKED 3D RAILS</p> <p>The hand-shaped rails feature a new hard rail design that releases water better at speed thereby reducing drag. The new “round edge with a corner” improves drag yet still leverages the Coanda effect a rounded rail generates to carve buttery smooth turns</p> <p>ELLIPTICAL PERFECTION.</p> <p>The distinctive and highly effective Imperator Ellipse continues in the 6th generation. The Ellipse channels forces to the fins and edges when warranted and absorbs the rest. For more pop and comfort.</p> <p>FLEX TIP<br /> When it comes to explosive pop, the Imperator 6 is far ahead of the pack. The power generated by the Ellipse tips is undeniable and grin inducing.</p> <p>MONO CONCAVE TIPS<br /> The double concave hull between the straps transitions to a mono concave on each tip.

No Imperator leaves this German island without a nod from its master craftsmen</p> <p>Manufactured by master craftsmen since 2001. Craftsman that put their heart and soul into each board. Visit Fehmarn and you will likely meet your board builder on a shiny black board at a local beach. You see, they don't just build masterpieces, they live the kiter’s dream.</p> <p>Google Fehmarn and kiting. A kite mecca, this idyllic island is kiteable year-round and makes an equally ideal manufacturing base. Close to its high-tech German and European suppliers, Carved Customs benefits from leading-edge technology and Germany’s well-known infrastructure.</p> <p> </p> <p>Bernie Hiss (left), founder of Carved Customs has been building custom boards for over 20 years.

Inspired by the dream of a perfect session on the water. Carved Customs live the kiter’s dream every day. They are kiters: heart and soul. But are also engineers, innovators, experimenters and part-time mad scientists. From their passion, they build boards with character using the most advanced materials possible.
From the beginning, Carved set benchmarks for others to measure themselves against. It has never been easy but their passion for the sport drove them to exceed their own benchmarks in production methods, materials, and meticulous workmanship. To this day, the Baltic powerhouse continues to set material benchmarks with its proprietary Cartan Carbon fiber; production method benchmarks with its Unibody build; and master craftsmanship benchmarks with its hand-shaped 3D Rails.
