Performance Freeride
Elite V is CrazyFly’s most advanced freeride construction, developed around minimum weight and maximum performance.
The board combines the direct response of a carbon layup with a smooth and comfortable flex. Its low weight is especially noticeable during jumps, maneuvers and board-offs, while the stiffness of the carbon structure supports precise control and efficient upwind riding.
Ultra-light construction
In size 136 x 41 cm, the Elite V weighs only 1.85 kg according to the manufacturer.
This low weight is achieved through the combination of Air Inside Core, advanced carbon laminates and a construction without a conventional top sheet.
Air Inside Core
The Air Inside Core uses strategically placed hollow sections inside the wood core between the top and bottom carbon layers.
Removing material in selected areas reduces weight while also allowing the flex pattern to be tuned more precisely.
Fin mounting for 2027
For 2027, CrazyFly introduced new 6 mm-diameter fin mounting holes. When replacing fins or using accessories from previous model years, check that the mounting system is compatible.
HMX-CF3 Carbon
Elite V uses HMX-CF3 Carbon, combining T1000G carbon fibers, carbon nanotube reinforced resin and prepreg technology.
The prepreg process provides precise control over the resin-to-fiber ratio. According to CrazyFly, HMX-CF3 is their thinnest, lightest and highest tensile strength carbon material.
In the Elite V, it provides longitudinal strength and very fast power transfer.
CompFlex 4T5 Carbon
The layup uses two carbon layers on the top and two on the bottom of the board.
One of these layers is CompFlex 4T5 Carbon, with fibers positioned at 45 degrees. This increases stiffness in the heel-to-toe direction while allowing a softer longitudinal flex.
Combined with HMX-CF3, it creates a dynamic response, strong pop and comfortable flex without adding unnecessary weight.
The most flexible carbon board from CrazyFly
CrazyFly describes the Elite V as the most flexible carbon board they have ever made.
The tuned flex maintains the dynamic character of carbon while avoiding the overly stiff feel often associated with full-carbon constructions, resulting in a smoother ride through chop.
Double Concave Bottom
The bottom features a double concave shape with channels.
This geometry supports smoother handling in uneven water and helps maintain control at higher speeds.
Pop and fast energy return
The carbon construction returns quickly to its original shape after being loaded.
The combination of HMX-CF3 and CompFlex 4T5 provides strong pop and a very direct response to rider input.
Carbon Touch
Elite V is built without a conventional top sheet.
The Carbon Touch concept reduces additional weight and leaves the natural carbon structure visible directly on the board surface.
Wood Core
The construction is based on a precisely shaped wood core.
CrazyFly uses CNC machining to cut the outline, drill holes and create the required 3D core profiles, allowing accurate control over geometry and flex.
Features
All made in Europe
CRAZYFLY FACTORY - CrazyFly brand has been built on high quality manufacturing in the heart of Europe and exceptional customer service. CrazyFly is extremely proud to be the first and only Kiteboarding brand producing all of their products in their own factory based in Europe. This includes in house production of kites, kiteboards, control bars and accessories.
Carbon Touch
RAW NATURAL BEAUTY OF CARBON - With over 20 years of experience in working with carbon, CrazyFly is stepping up with the most advanced carbon fiber technology in kiteboarding. The Elite IV board is not made with the conventional top sheet construction method. To radically reduce weight and showcase the raw natural beauty of Carbon, engineers came up with the Carbon Touch technology. HMX-CF3 carbon utilizes Nano-technology, which incorporates a reinforced epoxy resin as well as T1000G carbon fiber. The bonding between the fibers is improved compared to traditional methods, making T1000G the world’s highest tensile strength fiber. This technology does not only make the Elite V board Feather Light and strong, it also enables the owner to touch and feel the carbon fibers directly.
CNC Wood Core
Core is one of the most essential elements in every kiteboard. Therefore, designers choose only the finest selection wood cores for all CrazyFly kiteboards. To have precisely shaped cores of the highest quality, CrazyFly is using a CNC machine to cut the outline, drill holes, and give various 3D shapes on all cores.
HMX-CF3
NANO TECHNOLOGY CARBON FIBERS - HMX-CF3 carbon is the most advanced carbon fiber technology. The combination of Nano-technology, carbon nanotube reinforced resin and T1000G carbon fiber create the world’s highest tensile strength fiber. Supplied as a prepreg, this carbon always has the perfect ratio of resin spread evenly and creates the best possible molecular bonding. The cohesion between the fibers is improved and allows for incredible strength even at off-axis fiber directions. Expert utilization of the HMX-CF3 carbon results in an extremely lightweight board with uncompromised power transfer and dynamics.
Unobtainium
THE HIGHEST VALUE, BEST FULFILLING PURPOSE - Unobtainium is a non-existing material of the highest value, which best fulfills its desired purpose, so designers were not able to use it, but they managed to apply this concept while creating the Elite IV board. Designers and engineers had an Unobtainium mindset, and every little detail on this board is made as if it was made from Unobtainium. Every piece was carefully picked and well thought through to best serve its purpose and complement one another in this extremely unique package.
Air Inside Core
FEATHER LIGHT, ARMY STRONG - This technology is unheard of in kiteboarding. Designers have taken out pieces of the wood core to optimize the flex pattern of the board and reduce weight. There are true hollow spaces between the top and bottom carbon layers of the Elite V with air trapped inside.
Feather Light
EXTREME LIGHT WEIGHT ENGINEERING - The Elite IV is the lightest production board in the world. In its mid-size, 136 x 41 cm, the board itself weighs an incredible 1 840 grams. Complete with all accessories it weighs only 2 790 grams, making the Elite IV the lightest board in the industry. Engineers have spent tremendous amount of time searching for options to strip down weight without compromising performance and durability. With the air inside wood core and the most advanced carbon technology so far, CrazyFly successfully created a Feather Light masterpiece.
CompFlex 4T5 Carbon
MORE FLEX WITHOUT ADDING WEIGHT - Elite IV layup features two layers of carbon on the top and two on the bottom of the board. One layer is the CompFlex 4T5 carbon with 45 degree angled fibers for optimal torsion flex, which makes the board stiffer in heel to toe direction, but softer along the length of the board. CompFlex 4T5 makes the Elite V more dynamic and responsive, and at the same time creates a more comfortable flex. The CompFlex 4T5 is topped with a brand new HMX-CF3 carbon which gives the board strength along the length of the board, but not too much stiffness.
The most flexible Carbon board
SMOOTH COMFORTABLE FLEX WITH POP OF A CARBON BOARD - Comfortable flex is something many carbon boards are missing. With the Elite V designers focused on achieving a comfortable medium flex. The result is the most flexible carbon board ever made by CrazyFly. The Elite V blends together dynamic features of a carbon board with amazing pop, and very smooth comfortable flex.
