The Lethal kiteboard is our 100% radical side shore shape.

Introduction

The Lethal kiteboard is THE board to go full send in beautiful conditions. With its pointed nose and round tail, it’s the board for extreme turns.In surfing, it’s tailored for side shore conditions. It performs strongly in hollow waves thanks to precise drive. It instills confidence and allows you to pull off your most radical moves and tackle the steepest slopes with serenity. It offers a perfect pivot and incredible rail to rail. When transferring weight from front to back in the turns, you feel all the magic of the round tail that doesn’t curb this radicality. The Lethal wraps into the turn, but it also knows how to snap and send spray +++. The addition of channels boosts your board:

Control of your lines and directional stability is more significant, allowing more serene supports to push your limits in turns as well as in full-speed choppy water.
They slightly tighten the rocker in chosen sections. The flow is optimized, and the character of the board is upgraded.
By channeling the water, they significantly accelerate the flows and therefore your speed.
True shock absorbers, they diffuse the impact of choppy water, and landings are softer.
Finally, they bring more natural stiffness to the composite and more resistance to breakage.

It’s the board for memorable sessions and the craziest turns!

Outline

The outline is 100% shortboard with an ultra-manoeuvrable tail and a fine pointed nose to avoid catching in turns, barrels, and tricks. The board is set for very smooth carves for always progressive action. You enter the carves and increase the pressure at will, with ease. It’s a very healthy behavior that allows you to take advantage of this radical board.

The pointed nose is really forgotten as it is minimalist.

Tail

The round tail provides an ultra-progressive rail to rail and the best possible maneuverability. The portion of the rail immersed in the carve is reduced as you press on the back foot. Thus, you define how radical your turns are!!!

Rocker

The highly lifted rocker is dedicated to maneuverability. The slightest pressure on the tail releases the nose to turn even shorter, snap, and send spray.

Hull

The hull design is very important to combine strong grip when sailing and maneuverability in surfing. The wide channels provide better directional control. They channel the water and accelerate the flows to provide superior speed in waves and navigation. They also offer more smoothness in water contact despite gaining rigidity and solidity in the structure of the board. You’re more radical, fluid, comfortable, and totally in control.

Volume

Finally, the volume is reduced to the bare minimum to have an ultra-smooth board that doesn’t bounce at the bottom, it’s very discreet with its particularly efficient thin rails.

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 ?

From advanced riders to pros, the Lethal requires solid experience to get the best out of it. It’s not the board that heads upwind the most, but it’s the one that will turn the hardest!!!

Advanced riders will appreciate its radical behavior in waves, with simplicity.
The pro will love its pure surfer DNA. In beautiful side shore waves, the Lethal kiteboard is crazy.

What is it for ?

Surfing in sideshore conditions, this is the program of the Lethal kiteboard.

What size ?

Ideal conditions ?

Ideal wave size: from average to big waves.

Power: at its best in hollow waves !

Type: It can handle everything, even the choppy playing fields.

What’s the ideal kite ?

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

What quiver mates?

You can complement the low end with a kite foil board when the wind is really light.
When the wind is less sustained and the waves are softer, an Alu kiteboard will give you more mobility on the water and more power to send it.

In light wind, a Matata will be a real compliment for freeriding or surfing in soft waves.

And for freestyle, a Catch kiteboard or a Fatal will be real complementary tools.

What settings ?

The Lethal kiteboard is set with a thruster in FCSII boxes. You are free to mount the set of fins 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 rediscover the sensations of surfing, and you have mobility on the board to play in the waves. It’s a very pure style of riding but difficult to master.

With straps, you are sure that your board will remain attached to your feet, even in the most committed aerial maneuvers. You will have much more control and performance is a notch above.

So it’s up to you if the sensation outweighs the performance. Put your straps in the central position (3rd hole) for the front strap, and the same for the rear strap if you always ride in the straps.
If you want to be able to take out the back foot for transitions and surfing, place the rear strap in the first hole from the back.
