The Catch is the 100% strapless tricks shape.

Introduction

The Catch is THE board for killing it in freestyle with a surfboard.

On the flat it’s a very nervous board, ideal for freestyle and riding upwind between two tricks. That’s its favourite playground.

With its large concave, it edges hard. You have your feet in the board, everything in control. You arrive quickly, without bouncing. Which gives it a phenomenal pop.

In the air it sticks to the feet. With its large surface and its contained weight, you place it in the wind from take-off and it holds against your stance. It’s perfect for working on tricks. And this large surface area allows you to stick landings without hesitation, in a loose way if necessary, as the board will accept rough foot placements without bouncing.

In the surf, the board is relatively staged. This means it has speed and impulse that are killer but its rocker will limit it in hollow waves. You can power surf with energy and an aerial style.

It’s the ultimate freestyle board!

Your benefits are clear:

1. An efficient shape created by one of the leaders in the world of kitesurfing.
2. A design at the cutting edge of R&D and ahead of its time.
3. Proven construction on thousands of boards.
4. Full Option finishing at a great price.
5. A light and solid board with one of the best technos on the market!!!
6. An incredible price that can only be explained by our direct relationship with you.
7. Simple maintenance and easy repairs because we have all components in stock.

In a nutshell

The shape of the Catch is rectangular to maximize downforce in the wind and optimize landings.

The nose is almost square for a maximum of lift on the water and in the air.

The large squash tail coupled with the big concave of the hull offer a monstrous pop.

The rocker is relaxed for a very stable board that starts planing very early.

The volume is minimal with very fine tips for control and unprecedented performance on the flat and in small waves.

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.

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 Catch Kite is accessible for a light beginner by its ability to plane early and head upwind.

But it will reveal its full potential under the feet of a confirmed and energetic rider.

What is it for ?

Freestyle is the program of choice for this nervous and aerial board.

But it also likes small waves for snappy turns and airs.

What size ?

Ideal conditions ?

Ideal wave size: from almost nothing to shoulder-high.

Power: at its best in mushy/normal waves.

Type: It can handle everything, even the choppy playgrounds.

What’s the ideal kite ?

The Catch Kite will work wonderfully with a Freewave that will maximize your performances in freestyle but also with a Unik in the light conditions.

Quiver partners ?

You can complete the low range with a Catch Foil when the wind is really light.

When the wind is stronger, a Fatal or an Alu will allow you to be more radical.

Which settings ?

The Catch Kite is mounted in tri-fin with FCSII boxes. You are free to assemble 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’ll find the sensations of surfing and the mobility on the board to play with the waves. It’s a very pure style of riding but difficult to master.

With the straps, you are sure that your board will stay hooked to your feet, even in the most committed aerial maneuvers. You will have a lot more control and performance will be a step above.

It’s up to you to choose between feeling and performances. Put your straps in the central position (3rd hole) for the front, and the same goes for the rear strap.

If you want to be able to remove the rear foot for transitions and surfing, place the rear strap on the first hole.

The CATCH KITE FSP 2X are equipped with a high-end pad for maximum grip. These boards are equipped with three FCS II boxes to insert and remove your favorite fins without tools. The multiple straps inserts allow all adjustments from beginner to Pro. You can also use your board for surfing, a leash plug will allow you to never lose it. Nothing is missing.
