FREERIDE & FREESTYLE
You, the kiteboarder, can enjoy smooth freeride, but if the kiteboard is pushed harder, you can have a freestyle session.

This kiteboard has a unique double concave shape combined with full carbon construction and strong CNC shaped tip to tip wood core, which provide amazing control of flex, stiffness and pop. Cutting powered turns and making transitions with this kind of bottom shape is so easy that anyone can feel like a Pro. Say goodbye to water splash, as the concave channels direct the water exactly where it belongs – away from the kiteboarder.

The Raptor Pro kitebard has brand new technology called Crazy Flex Tips, which make the kiteboard very comfortable and extremely responsive. This generates much more pop and provide the softest possible landings. You can really load up this board and it just explodes when popping you up in the air. We believe this technology makes kiteboarding even more fun than it ever was. Crazy Flex Tips is pushing kiteboarding to a new level.

Double concave bottom shape gives you the kiteboarder much more stability in difficult landings and much more power when loading a jump. Riding in choppy waters has never been more fun than with the new Raptor LTD board. In addition to eating up chop easily, this kiteboard is a very fun tool to play with in smaller to medium waves. This high performance board is simply great because it can be used for many various ways of riding styles. It suits wakestyle riding perfectly because of the concave shape.

FULL CARBON CONSTRUCTION
Based on our ten years of experience in building high quality kiteboards with top performance, we simply believe that carbon fibers are irreplaceable. Carbon fiber is ultra light and at the same time extremely strong. This material is very dynamic and it returns instantly to its original shape after being stressed, which provides loads of pop for carbon fiber kiteboards. Not only carbon fiber has the same initials “CF” as our brand, but its ratio of high strength, low weight and quick dynamics makes it the most suitable material for a high performance kiteboard. These are the reasons why carbon fiber is used in CrazyFly kiteboards, which are expected to be light, very responsive and have a lot of pop.

CRAZY FLEX TIPS
Brand new concept of ultra thin tips on twin tip kiteboards developed by CrazyFly. New technologies in the fast developing composite industry enabled us to build extremely thin tips with amazing flex and strength. At first, you may think they are so thin that they will break after the first landing, but they hold. Crazy Flex tips are so flexible it is almost impossible to break them during riding. Crazy Flex tips technology is something you have never experienced before. It delivers a very unique performance on water. Crazy Flex tips make the kiteboard very comfortable and extremely responsive. They generate much more pop and provide the softest possible landings. We believe this technology makes kiteboarding even more fun than it ever was.

NANO FIBER CARBON TECHNOLOGY II
Years ago we decided to use carbon fabric as a main part of the construction of CrazyFly kiteboards. Today we see it was a right decision.

Carbon fiber comes as a high strength, high stiffness and very light synthetic fiber. Carbon fiber composites are ten times stronger than steel, and still five times lighter. Carbon fibers have amazing structural properties. You can find them on the best products humans had ever produced: in construction of Formula 1, in aerospace technology, military secret programs, and the best sport racing equipment. The result of our tight intensive research and tests with developments from the carbon industry is Nano Fiber Carbon Technology exclusively used in production process of CrazyFly kiteboards. What makes this system so unique is the higher tensile modulus and faster dynamic response. It makes the flex of our boards very attractive and the pop amazing.

CNC SHAPED WOOD CORE
Core is one of the most essential elements in every kiteboard and we are very aware of this fact. Therefore we choose only finest selection wood for the core of all CrazyFly kiteboards. 3T CNC Shaped Wood Core is very unique. It is made out of a special Thai exotic wood and its main properties are ultra light weight and extreme flexibility. Wood is a great material, because it has natural flex and pop abilities, which no plastic could replace. Having a full wood core made from continuous wood fiber from Tip To Tip without joints makes the board much more flexible and stronger. To have precisely shaped cores of highest quality we are using a CNC to cut the outlines and drill holes. 3T CNC Shaped Wood Core is a part of every CrazyFly kiteboard.

TIP TO TIP WOOD CORE
Tip To Tip wood core has no joints, maintains wood's natural flex properties, and is incredibly light. The rider can enjoy a light board with excellent flex and pop properties.



UV STABLE TOP SHEET FOILS
Our cooperation with the world leader in top sheet industry allows us to use the latest worldwide developments for the production of our kiteboards. By using the best solutions in our production process we have consistency in high quality and tremendous performance, even under extreme stress situations on the sporting equipment. Our new UV stabile top sheet foil maintains its original colors even after hot tropical sunrays heat up the board. CrazyFly's topsheets have excellent gliding ability, and maintain its cool look.

With the UV stable top sheet foils the colors on the board stay the same for a long time, so you can enjoy looking at the pretty board.

3D ABS RAILS
We decided to use ABS side walls construction as the best one in this industry. ABS is a high strength, very durable thermo-plastic material. The adherent bonding with upper and lower reinforcement carbon materials creates a torsion box, with high torsional stiffness. CNC shaped and hand fine finished rails you can be found on all of our boards. Bright colors help you to find your board in the water.

Concave bottom and 3D ABS rails make carving and switching between carves smooth and easy.

CONCAVE BOTTOM
We simply believe in the concave bottom shape. This is one of the main characteristic features on our boards. The board is stable in carves, easy to switch, and marvelously smooth to control. It Works ingenious during landing and helps you to come out of all possible troubles.

TAIL OUTLINE SHAPE
After years of testing, CrazyFly's designers decided to use the new tail outline on the boards. This new feature allows the rider to load up an edge when performing jumps, leading to more hang (air) time and better tricks.

G10 LOW DRAG FINS
We use G10 fins with a very thin profile in order to prevent drag. G10 fins are durable and hard to break. G10 material is the best solution in the industry.

G10 is a legend. You can not find something better in fins production. Excellent strength, stiffnes and durability. The profile of our fins is still radically thin with minimum hydrodynamic resistance. 2010 line of fins is characterized by nice colors – it helps you to catch sight your board when it is lost.

SHOCK ABSORBING SYSTEM
After a couple hours of riding in choppy water your knees are tired and hurt. Our new developed Shock Absorbing System damps the shocks from water and vibration of board during performance riding. The unique smooth feeling of riding is guaranteed with cooperation of our Shock Absorbing System and Progressive flex II control system. Both together, they make the CrazyFly board amazingly collected. Now you can ride while the sun is up in the sky.

QUICK FIX STRAPS SYSTEM II
With the brand new Quick Fix II you can mount the straps faster and easier than ever before.

With our Quick fix II strap system you just need a couple seconds to mount it on the board. Easy and simple, but the result is charming. The straps always stay in their position. In combination with our lightweight dual desity EVA pro pads you are able to change the position and angle of pads very easy and fast.

LEATHER STRAPS
New leather straps bring more comfort, maintain its shape and are very light.

HIGH PERFORMANCE STAINLESS STEEL INSERTS
New high performance Stainless Steel inserts along with new insert reinforcements are bullet proof strong.

LIGHTWEIGHT DUAL DENSITY EVA PADS
In CrazyFly, we do not simply follow fashion trends on the market. We produce highest quality products for kiteboarding to give users the most benefits. High quality and durability go hand in hand and our light weight dual density EVA pads are not an exception. Some might ask, why we do not have EVA injection molded pads as the majority of the market and the answer is quite straight forward. We do not focus on cost cutting and profits, but rather on producing best possible products. Our dual density EVA pads are much more durable than injection EVA pads. This has been tested and proved over a long period of time and that is why we offer them to you.

STANCE INDICATOR
New stance indicator makes it easy to choose which stance is the best one for you.

STANCE ANGLE ADJUSTABLE PADS
The position of inserts on the board to assemble in footpads offers stance width options. Our new Stance Angle Adjustable Pads enable the rider to adjust the stance angle, to fit your personal preference, in a few seconds. Wider stance boosts the dynamics of the ride, and stability when landing jumps.
