DUOTONE Kiteboard twintip Shred 2023

YOUNG BLOOD FREERIDE / FREESTYLE

• Size: 128
• Discipline: Freestyle / Freeride for young riders

Young shredders had to wait way too long to get gear for their size. Often they’ve been forced to ride smaller versions of adult equipment, but that gear isn’t always the easiest to use. Now the Shred aims to put a specially designed board in the hands of the groms, so they can maximise their performance. With a specially designed narrower outline, the board is smoother through the water, easier to carve from rail to rail and offers better pop as it is easier to edge. Space Flex technology is also used, along with the Carbon Beam, to make the board super responsive and help it cut through chop with ease.

If you have young ones, you’ll know how important it is to keep them smiling and ensure the stoke factor is at a maximum. The all-new Shred will deliver smiles for miles while offering performance they won’t get anywhere else. Your kids deserve the best; the Shred delivers!

Key features

• NARROWER OUTLINE ESPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR GROMS - THE UNIQUE SHAPE MAKES IT EASIER FOR LIGHTER RIDERS WITH SMALLER FEET TO EDGE AND GET POP; CARVING FROM RAIL TO RAIL IS ALSO SMOOTHER.
• SMOOTH CARVING DUE TO SPACE FLEX - WHEN YOU ARE CARVING ON THE SHRED, THE TRANSITION FROM RAIL TO RAIL IS SMOOTHER, THANKS TO THE ENHANCED CHARACTERISTICS OFFERED BY SPACE FLEX.
• RESPONSIVE AND LIGHT CARBON BEAM - A CARBON BEAM IS USED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE SHRED; THIS INCREASES THE BOARD'S PERFORMANCE AND RESPONSIVENESS, GIVING YOU A DYNAMIC RIDE.
• EASY HANDLING WITH GRAB RAILS - WHETHER YOU ARE CARRYING IT DOWN TO THE WATER'S EDGE OR PERFORMING THE LATEST BOARD OFF TRICKS, THE GRAB RAILS MAKE IT EASY.
• STEP MONO CONCAVE BASE - THE STEP MONO CONCAVE BASE ENCOURAGES THE BOARD TO GET ON THE PLANE EARLY, SMOOTHS OUT THE LANDINGS AND HELPS WITH POP.
• COMFORTABLE RIDE AND EARLY PLANING WITH SPACE FLEX - SPACE FLEX IS A UNIQUE FLEX TECHNOLOGY THAT OFFERS THE BEST RESPONSE THROUGHOUT THE LENGTH OF THE BOARD, OFFERING A SMOOTH RIDE AND EARLY PLANING.

Tech features

SPACE FLEX TECHNOLOGY

Space Flex adapts to the water´s surface and enhances all turning characteristics. Stiff outside frame coupled with the soft tips creates smooth water release and early planing. Reduction in swing weight facilitates easier tricks and faster rotations.

TORSION FLEX

The special shape of the 3D cap allows torsion of the long axis of the board. This gives them more grip on the heel-side edge, rich and smooth landings, a direct drive and better upwind performance. Invented by Duotone.

STEP MONO CONCAVE

The Step Mono Concave is the fastest and easiest to ride bottom concepts. It can be carved easily through turns and always delivers the right grip. It planes early, allows smaller fins and helps to go upwind with ease.

GRAB RAILS

Grab Rails for easier board off manoeuvres and comfortable general riding.

SOFT FLEX

Soft Flex boards are the most friendly and “easy to use” boards in Duotone range. The Soft Flex option is forgiving and simply fun to ride, even if you are an unexperienced rider. However, the Soft Flex option is also suitable for more lightweight riders.

PREMIUM CONSTRUCTION

The Premium Construction boards Jaime, Select and Soleil, and now also Shred, feature Carbon Beams, where parts of the glass fibre are being replaced by unidirectional carbon beams to noticeably improve the boards’ performance. This results in a faster and even more progressive flex for better pop and reduced weight.
