Our best board for both surf and flat water. Generally wave shapes don’t track (paddle straight) well because they’re designed to turn, but the Hanalei with it’s parallel rail outline and classic rocker creates the ultimate crossover board. Flat bottom to “V” starting in front of the fin area flowing out the tail makes this board paddle quickly and smoothly and surfs the same way.
2+1 Fin box set up.
10’0″- 7″ JL swept fin and 4″ side bites
All other sizes – 8″ JL swept fin and 4″ side bites.

Discover the new DIABLO V5, the kite which copes with any conditions so you can focus on your racing. After 18 months of testing with our top team riders, we are proud to present our Olympic registered kite.
For the development of the DIABLO V5 we took a lot of time analyzing the current and possible future racing formats to determine what characteristics an Olympic race kite would require to get our rider to the top. As with all development we looked hard at our previous kites, their strengths and weaknesses and how we could use all of our previous learning to move forward. With the DIABLO V5, enter the next level of performance.
We have for this model worked on a greater internal pressure which means a super solid and stable kite dealing with high angles of attack and fast manoeuvring. The kite offers maximum performance with highest stability. Its new, simple and clean technical design has reduced the weight of the DIABLO V5 compared to the V4. The new high-performance construction also reduces material stretch. Our drainage system lets water and sand drain automatically.

Using Technora bridles and a clever internal make up, we have reduced the total bridles keeping the same strength with less drag. This improves your angles and therefore your overall performances.
By removing the mesh over the vents the V5 inflates much faster and wingtips will pop out almost
Keeping up with the current racing the DIABLO V5 works brilliantly on very short lines giving you the maximum performance.
Using a new profile and arc, we have created a kite that can cope with any condition you throw at it so you can focus on the racing. VMG, speed after the manoeuvres, fantastic angles, get ready to reach your best performances on every course.

With 363 liters, the Searcher is our largest SUP and is incredibly versatile. It’s perfect for heavier riders and will float virtually anyone…and their dog. The displacement bow cuts through chop and boat wakes. The round rails and performance rocker line make it perform much like a race board, but much more stable. Going on an expedition? The Searcher has 4 sets of tie-down inserts in the tail and 3 sets in the nose so you can take everything with you. Also for 2016 we’ve strategically placed 5 RAM mount inserts to give you the option to turn the searcher into the ultimate fish catching platform.
Comes with 8″ JL tracker fin.

The flawless rocker line and shape characteristics translates into effortless downwind runs. The 28″ width makes this board very forgiving for any size rider and allows the rider to get on a glide easier and to stay on a glide longer. Flat bottom from front through the center is a very low drag bottom shape that blends into a “V” in the tail for effortless rail to rail responsiveness.
