<h2><strong>Take a look at the new 2019 Xenon Laluz Kiteboard at S2AS!</strong></h2> <p><strong>"The Laluz has invariably been Xenon’s flagship board combining outstanding freestyle performance and exceptional comfort of kiting in all conditions."</strong></p> <p>Designed for demanding intermediate to pro riders who expect a light, fast and responsive board with great freestyle potential and amazing comfort, the Laluz has been Xenon's bestseller for the past 10 years. The Laluz has always been an amazing kiteboard winning kiteboard of the year 2 years in a row! </p> <p>For 2020 the Xenon Laluz has really pulled away from the pack. The Surface 2 Air Team think the first thing you'll notice when riding is the first 50 meters just how smooth the board rides; it just cuts through chop no matter how heavy the water is at the time! What this feature will offer you as the rider, is you will be able to concentrate more on the kite in heavy seas rather than the board, unlike some kiteboards that are just slapping around under your feet in heavy sea's giving the rider too much to think about.</p> <p>Weight is always a factor when buying a new kiteboard and the Laluz is a winner here too. The board is super lightweight which crazy as it sounds, will actually help you in those light wind conditions. Unlike some of the heavy kiteboards on the market today (Who buys them?) the Laluz is a lightweight performance freeride kiteboard.</p> <p>Upwind riding is one of the key things to any rider of any level, if you can't push the board and kite upwind forget jumping, so riding upwind is key to any kiteboard. The Laluz fires upwind better than any other kiteboard we have tried to date. The low rocker like make the board super efficient and effortless riding. Put this with the way the board cuts through the chop and never leaves the water, and you have a winning combination.</p> <p>Finally, the Laluz Kiteboard comes complete with 2020 Xenon Ultra Light Pads and Straps offering unparalleled support and control. Made from a sandwich type construction, featuring ultralight EVA foams, covered by a multi­directional nonskid mat designed to maximise the grip. Designed to be as good as new even after a thousand pops and landings. New toe grip and heel side wedge makes the pads/straps combo holding even better than previous iterations. The riders who like experimenting or have a specific preference will appreciate the possibility of multi-angle adjustment set­ups of pads and straps.</p> <p>And don't forget that this special 2020 ten-year anniversary edition looks absolutely beautiful!</p> <h3><strong>Features:</strong></h3> <ul> <li><strong>Paulownia Woodcore:</strong> Gives the best durability to weight ratio.</li> <li><strong>Top Rail Channels:</strong> Adding extra strength to the whole construction allowing the entire core of the board to be thinner & lighter.</li> <li><strong>Steps Free Shape:</strong> Eliminates all the weak points throughout the board. </li> <li><strong>Hybrid Triax-Carbon Laminate: </strong>Takes what's the best from both ensure super comfy ride with tons of pop.</li> <li><strong>Single Concave to Double V Bottom Profile: </strong>Gives refined speed, pop, precision and control.</li> <li><strong>Tapered Down Rails:</strong> For grip and control.</li> <li><strong>Moderate Flex: </strong>Gives an optimal blend of comfort & performance.</li> <li><strong>Brushed Top Sheet:</strong> Increases durability and has a unique look.</li> <li><strong>2-Year Warranty</strong></li> </ul> <h3><strong>Sizing:</strong></h3> <p>Every single size of Laluz range has been extensively designed and tested, and they come out of unique moulds intended ONLY for that specific size.</p> <ul> <li><strong>132 x 40cm</strong></li> <li><strong>135 x 41cm</strong></li> <li><strong>138 x 42cm</strong></li> </ul> <h3><strong>Comes Equipped With:</strong></h3> <ul> <li>Xenon's 2020 Ultra Light Pads and Straps (Upgraded with a new hard parts composite for improved flexibility and durability at a very low weight)</li> <li>Red G10 40mm Fins Set with Flexible Fin Washers</li> <li>Xenon's Ergonomic Grab Handle</li> </ul>

<h2><strong>Take a look at the new 2020 Tona Flow 2.0 Kitesurfing Board at S2AS!</strong></h2> <p><strong>This board is Smooth, a joy to carve and soft on the landings.</strong></p> <p>Inspired by his love of surfing, Dre wanted something that's really fluid in turns while still maintaining the pop and edge control you need for performing powerful manoeuvres. The subtle Concave design allows for smooth rail to rail transitions while maintaining lots of grip while edging on the rail. This unique design also allows for a very smooth ride in choppy conditions and super soft landings from big jumps.</p> <p>A completely unique design that when combined with Dre’s preferred rocker line, created something that has great pop and superb turning ability while also offering soft landings and a smooth ride in choppy conditions. True to the original design, the FLOW 2.0 produces the same predictable ride but with a fine-tuned the glass layup to improve the flex. </p> <p>The Flow comes with Tona's 0.8" Slider fins. Hit sliders and rails without having to remove your fins. These shallow but long fins provide the same grip as deeper, conventional fins without the fear of snagging on an obstacle or breaking off when you ride up onto the beach.</p> <p>Tona uses a Sintered UHMW Slider Base for the bottom of their boards an incredibly tough material that also holds up great for sliding up onto sandy beaches or hitting features, simply rub some wax on the base for a little extra slip and a little more steez.</p> <h3><strong>Features:</strong></h3> <p><strong>Wood Core:</strong> A high grade poplar wood core, that offers strengh and a stiffness whilst still allowing the board to flex where needed </p> <p><strong>Hourglass Concave Shape: </strong>By blending different concaves into the rockerline while still maintaining a continuous shape allows the board to produce a varying level of bite or fluidity depending on where you put the pressure while riding </p> <p><strong>UHMW Slider Base: </strong>This Sintered Base is widely known as the toughest slider material in the snowboard and wakeboard industry due to its compression formed polymer structure</p> <p><strong>Customisable Slider Rails: </strong>ABS composite side walls developed to take a beating, and are thicjk enough to allow the rider custumise to they style, simply use a sanding block to either round off the centre for smoother transitions or sharpen towards the tips for added grip</p> <h3><strong>Colours:</strong></h3> <ul> <li><strong>136cm: Banger Blue</strong></li> <li><strong>140cm: Gamma Green</strong></li> <li><strong>144cm: Psycho Citrus</strong></li> </ul>
<h2><strong>Take a look at the new 2020 Tona Pop 2.0 Kiteboard at S2AS!</strong></h2> <p>The Pop was Tona's debut Kiteboard and it has always been known for being fast, grippy & explosive!</p> <p>Developed by Tona with real riders in mind, and is Jake Kelsick’s favourite from our twintip kiteboard. Originally developed to deal with the big demand for a kitesurf board that had great pop off the water, could cruise upwind and also had good traction when riding finless.</p> <p>After several rounds of testing prototypes with different channel designs Tona came up with something that was very unique and innovative, and people have been stoked with it ever since. Stiffer than the average kiteboard, to help hold its static rocker line while riding and also to generate the maximum amount of energy when loading up to pop off the water.</p> <p>True to the original design, the POP 2.0 has the same great shape and tough construction but with a tweaked the glass layup to improve the flex pattern and a fresh new graphic. </p> <h3><strong>Features:</strong></h3> <p><strong>Wood Core:</strong> A high grade poplar wood core, that offers strengh and a stiffness whilst still allowing the board to flex where needed </p> <p><strong>Double Concave: </strong>One of the most unique shapes in kitesurfing, an agressive concave design in the middle to help disperse water to create softer landings, but by flattening off to the tip and tail of the board means reduced drag and maximes release when poping. Further complimented by two deep channels for endless grip<strong>.</strong></p> <p><strong>UHMW Slider Base: </strong>This Sintered Base is widely known as the toughest slider material in the snowboard and wakeboard industry due to its compression formed polymer structure</p> <p><strong>Customisable Slider Rails: </strong>ABS composite side walls developed to take a beating, and are thicjk enough to allow the rider custumise to they style, simply use a sanding block to either round off the centre for smoother transitions or sharpen towards the tips for added grip</p> <h3><strong>Colours:</strong></h3> <ul> <li><strong>133cm: Banger Blue</strong></li> <li><strong>138cm: Manga Mint</strong></li> <li><strong>142cm: Gamma Green</strong></li> </ul>

<h2><strong>Take a look at the new 2020 Core Fusion 4 Kitesurfing Board at S2AS!</strong></h2> <p>A do-everything kiteboard that takes the difficulty out of deciding which board would be best for the conditions! Fancy riding strapped in freestyle? The Fusion 4's Multi-channels ensure incredible grip! Or maybe you want to do some wave riding? No problem thanks to the deep Vee Rockerline!</p> <p>Core have developed a real cross-ride board that covers all aspects of kitesurfing without compromising on any of them. The Fusion 4 (IV) is ideal for all-levels of riders and will develop your riding as you continue to improve.</p> <p>New riders will kite longer than ever with the board’s session-extending deep V hull. Lucky freestylers will find even more pop with the improved hull channels and will be able to harness the Fusion’s Cartan carbon fibre construction to challenge another WOO record. Regardless of your skill or adventure, the new Fusion delivers next-level awesomeness.</p> <p>The Fusion inherits its predecessor's hard-charging multi-channel hull, chop busting V-shaped keel, and powerful Paulownia wood core. Reducing board thickness while adding more carbon fibre between the pads allows us to liven up the tips, add more pop, and most importantly, improve cruising comfort. The Fusion board also sports a shiny new topcoat with UV blocking additives.</p> <p>The Fusion 4 (IV) was constructed in the most elaborate way for a series construction board - by using only the finest materials. The board is made of 100% CARTAN® high-performance carbon; each layer is made of pure carbon fibre. This guarantees minimum weight and optimum flex properties.</p> <p>The complex bottom with double concave and ‘V’ provides more drive and direction, when needed, and is responsible for the unique riding experience.</p> <p>It goes through choppy water as if there was a cushion of air under the board. Core call this a Hydrodynamic Bottom Contour. The core wood was milled in a special Diamond 3D Shape CNC. This ensures the harmonious development of flex together with torsional rigidity. The new high-performance fins, provide the Fusion with the maximum amount of directional stability whilst maintaining high levels of agility.</p> <h3><strong>Technologies:</strong></h3> <p><strong>Cartan Carbon ­– Core's Exclusive Hi-Performance Carbon Fibre: </strong>Each layer of the laminate structure is made of carbon fibre. CARTAN® high-performance carbon was specifically and exclusively designed for CORE and CARVED. In contrast to conventional carbon fibres the CARTAN® carbon fibre weave holds the fibres in a performance maximizing 30 degree angle. The result is huge flex properties making take offs both simple and effective.</p> <p>The exclusive use of CARTAN® high-performance carbon allows Core to significantly reduce the thickness of all Fusions, resulting in thin, slightly burred edge allows for precise jumps and relaxed carving.</p> <p><strong>Complex Diamond 3D Shape:</strong> Complex diamond-shaped cut-outs have been milled into the underlying wood core. This extra CORE effort is not without reason; on the one hand the complex surface structure reduces the weight, on the other hand, the resultant and intelligently arranged crosses increase the torsional rigidity of all Fusion boards. Together with the ultra-thin outside edges, the ‘Diamond 3D Shape’ provides the perfect combination of flex and stiffness - two technically disparate elements that only the world's best shapers can combine successfully.</p> <p><strong>Hydrodynamic Bottom Contour:</strong> Fusion Core boards have a hydro-dynamically shaped bottom contour. The most distinguishing feature is the central full length ‘V’ double concave that creates lift with laminar flow; the Fusion goes through choppy water as if there was a cushion of air under the board. The interaction of the concave and the ‘V’ allow greater board width, and thus early planning, without compromising on control.</p> <p>The entire board can be edged at a steeper angle, which enables effective upwind ability and provides the best edging for jumps. In addition it enables increased smoothness and agility, for example, whilst switching from heel to toe side edge.</p> <p><strong>Vario Rails – Precise Flex and Unreal Energy: </strong>A new variable rail thickness. 9mm thick rails around the middle of the board reduce to 3mm on the tips, this allows the rider to precisely control the flex through the whole length of the board</p> <p><strong>3D Paulownia Wood Core: </strong>The laminated, long-grained wood core gives Core's boards dimensional stability, decay resistance, and a lightweight yet distinctively powerful character. They extended the Paulownia further towards the board edges and now CNC mill both top and bottom. The larger wood core reduces board weight and improves flex memory. </p> <p><strong>Vee Rocker - more rocker underfoot and less rocker towards tips: </strong>More pronounced under your feet and progressively reduces towards the tips. This knowhow borrows from the Imperator 6 - Carved Custom’s latest masterpiece.</p> <p><strong>Varial Bottom Curve with Channels:</strong> Channels are again used on the edge ends. These partial indents allow the realisation of two different rocker lines. If the rider edges hard the steeper inside curve is engaged and control and grip are increased. If the board is planning the flatter bottom curve is engaged which enhances the ability to glide through wind lulls.</p> <p>Core have consciously not included any full length channels on the Fusion as the drift of the kite means that we never travel in an absolute line and the channels would simply cause unnecessary resistance.</p> <p><strong>Progressive 2-Channel Tips: </strong>The new tip profile produces super clean carving characteristics and powerfully controlled take-offs. The outside edge runs longer and straighter to a bevelled corner. The channels engage during power edging effectively increasing lateral resistance for more control. And when not engaged, the board glides effortlessly through the lulls.</p> <p><strong>Core G-10 Cutback Fins:</strong> A perfect balance between tracking and freestyling magic. The impact-resistant, 48mm G10 fibreglass fins have a new trailing edge design for even more control and tracking stability.</p>
<h2><strong>Take a look at the new 2020 Core Fusion 4 LW Kitesurfing Board at S2AS!</strong></h2> <p>A do-everything kiteboard that takes the difficulty out of deciding which board would be best for the conditions! Fancy riding strapped in freestyle? The Fusion 4's Multi-channels ensure incredible grip! Or maybe you want to do some wave riding? No problem thanks to the deep Vee Rockerline!</p> <p>Since a greater planing surface displaces more water together with the lower speeds achieved in lighter winds; the bottom concave, channel and ‘V’ were reduced by a millimetre. This modification minimizes the water resistance together with the combination of outline and bottom contour, adequate grip to deal with gusts.</p> <p>The 147 x 44 cm wide Fusion combines the advantages of a light wind board with those of a thoroughbred twintip. Even if the wind picks up, rotations, and also unhooked tricks are effortlessly achieved. The ‘Diamond 3D Shape’ and the resulting low board thickness allows for thin rails that cut through the water, but thanks to the ‘V’, which acts like an air cushion, the rails won’t get bogged down.</p> <p>With 152 x 46 cm board, the largest in the Fusion line, the CORE development team opted for a concave outline. The pronounced waist makes the bottom sit a bit deeper in the water, resulting in the edge being more effectively utilized when riding upwind. The resulting edge width from this shape is a crucial factor in the unprecedented planning and glide ability. The concave in the sophisticated bottom contour controls the width when the wind picks up.</p> <p>Core have developed a real cross-ride board that covers all aspects of kitesurfing without compromising on any of them.
