The Fatal kiteboard perfectly blends freestyle and surf.

Introduction

This concept of this shape has become a reference in our range for its versatility.

The Fatal has a very similar program to the Catch. Very oriented towards freestyle and strapless riding, the new Fatal is fast, full of pop, and super maneuverable. Unlike the Catch, the Fatal is more surf-oriented with a pinched tail that loves tight carves.

This new shape is faster and especially more stable at high speeds. This is felt in the ride: you can commit more strongly to moves and its tighter outline offers surprising maneuverability in all types of waves.

It’s the ideal complement to the Catch in waves, while retaining the generous surface that allows for all freestyle landings.

The addition of channels boosts your board:

Control over your trajectories and directional stability is increased, allowing for more serene support to push your limits in turns as well as in full-speed choppy conditions.
They slightly tighten the rocker in chosen sections. Flow is optimized, and the board’s character is upgraded.
By channeling the water, they significantly accelerate the flow and thus your speed.
Real shock absorbers, they diffuse the impact of chop, and receptions are softer.
Finally, they bring more natural rigidity to the composite and more resistance to breakage.

It’s the 50/50 board for freestyle and surfing!

Rocker

The Fatal has a pronounced rocker to perform in waves. It carves like the best surfboards.

Outline

Its outline is generous with a carrying nose and a tail perfectly refined by a pair of wingers that are very effective. You can enter carves at full throttle: it will hold and accentuate the turn as you press into it.

Hull

Hull work is important to combine strong grip when sailing and maneuverability. The wide channels provide better directional control. They channel water and accelerate flow to provide higher speed in waves and navigation. They also offer more smoothness in water contact despite gaining rigidity and solidity in the board’s structure. You’re more radical, fluid, comfortable, and totally in control.

Length

The length remains compact despite the narrow width to retain maximum radicalness.

FSP 2X Kitesurf Technology

The FSP 2X technology is easily repairable when new in case of a Ding. The PVC foam of the sandwich is waterproof and prevents water from entering on everyday shocks. The EPS foam blank does not deteriorate because it is really protected from water. And the repairs have a much larger support to stick on and blend seamlessly with the surrounding material.

This technology offers, at an affordable price, the incomparable strength/lightness ratio of full vacuum PVC Sandwich.

3D Shape on modeling software.
Preshape by the numerical control for total reliability.
Shape control by traditional templates, finishing of the last mm 100% by hand.
100% Epoxy Board and EPS Blank Foam: solid and lightweight.
Deck, hull and rails in PVC Vacuumed Sandwich: incomparable strength and incredible dynamism.
Deck: integral PVC/Fiberglass Sandwich composed of a high-density PVC foam core and 2 layers of 4oz fiberglass and 1 layer of 6oz Biaxial fiberglass, fiberglass reinforcements on sensitive areas.
Hull: integral PVC/Fiberglass Sandwich composed of a high-density PVC foam core and 2 layers of 4oz fiberglass and 1 layer of 6oz Biaxial fiberglass, fiberglass reinforcements on the sensitive areas.
Specific Foil reinforcements: high-density PVC block housing the two US Rail Boxes. Three layers of carbon cover the Boxes. Laminated PVC slats connect the reinforcement to the deck for maximum durability.
Rails: the PVC Sandwich structure completely covers the rails: increased structural strength, very good shock resistance.
Hot Coat integrated Tinted Resin: nobility of the process, weight reduction and solidity of the finish.
Matt custom finish, hand-made, for weight reduction and better glide.

Buying guide

For whom ?

The Fatal kiteboard will delight the most energetic riders who want a high-performance and versatile board.

More aimed at pros than beginners, the Fatal is a large surface board, it is accessible, but a pro will get the best out of it.

What is it for ?

Tricks, surfing, the Fatal kiteboard can do it all as long as there is enough wind to send it.

What size ?

Ideal conditions ?

Ideal wave size: from almost nothing to shoulder high.

Power: it performs best in soft to normal waves.

Aspect: it goes everywhere, even in choppy and windy conditions.

What’s the ideal kite ?

The Fatal kiteboard will work wonders with a wave kite that maximizes your surfing performance, but also with a Unik in light wind, for example.

Quiver partners ?

You can complement the low end with a Catch Foil when the wind is really light.

When the wind is stronger and the waves more substantial, a Lethal will allow for more radical navigation. But in light wind, a Matata will be a real compliment for freeriding or surfing in soft waves.

Which settings ?

The Fatal kiteboard is set up as a thruster with FCSII boxes. You’re free to mount the fin set of your choice. All FCSII fin models are available on our online site.

Strapped or strapless ?

Riding strapless is sexy because you feel free. You get the sensations of surfing and have mobility on the board to play in the waves. It’s a very pure riding style but difficult to master.

With straps, you’re sure your board will stay attached to your feet, even in the most committed aerial maneuvers. You’ll have much more control and performance a notch above.

So it’s up to you whether the sensation prevails over performance. Place your straps in the central position (3rd hole) for the front strap, and the same for the rear strap if you always ride in straps.

If you want to be able to release the rear foot for transitions and surfing, place the rear strap in the first hole from the back.

Which bag for my board?
