The Alu kiteboard is the sharpened shape for ripping in onshore surf.

Introduction

It planes early with a very present back foot that offers support for heading upwind and getting past the waves, but still remains a board dedicated to radical surfing.

The big plus of this board is its unbelievable dynamism. When riding onshore or in challenging conditions we often need more accelerations, heading and speed. With its powerful tail, the Alu takes off immediately and delivers these three essential qualities for mobility on the water.

As soon as you attack in the waves, it reveals its strong shortboard character! With its nose and thin rails, it works very well in small and mushy conditions as well as on big punchy swells. It knows how to be radical in a lot of conditions.

In strapless we have a board that will love freestyle thanks to its important pop. The tail will once again work wonders. And with the surface of the board concentrated between your feet, you have a board that will naturally stick to the feet in the air. It’s very healthy.;

This is THE ideal onshore kite surfboard

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.

In a nutshell

This new shape emphasizes performance in average conditions.

The rocker is a little more heavy on the back compared to a side shore surfboard, this combined with a wider tail and a fairly straight outline in the back third allows for a super early planing, heading and a very good high speed stability. This shape also makes it possible to handle bigger kite sizes and to hold steady in the gusty winds because the length of the submerged rail is greater than on a very round board. The edging is sharper and more constant.

The work on the hull is important to combine a strong grip on the edges and handling. We go from a very big concave in the center to a double concave at the tail which directs the board in addition to the fins. The nozzle effect coupled with the powerful tail boosts its performance!

Its thin nose is easy to direct in messy playing fields. It flies through choppy water without bouncing. The rails are thin because overall the board is radical. They are 100% surf.

The length is standard to maintain maximum control with a significant portion of useful rail.

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 intermediate to pros : It’s not a complicated board. It’s just about having the right stance. No need to twist yourself to set the line or go upwind.

The intermediate rider will appreciate its natural glide coupled with its radical behavior in the waves. Mobility on the water is the key to fun in many sessions.

The pro will love its pure surfer DNA. In beautiful onshore waves as well as in messy choppy waves, the Alu Kite is incredibly efficient, including strapless freestyle.

What is it for ?

Surfing in onshore conditions, this is the main program of the Alu Kite for those who want to make the best of sub par conditions.

But it doesn’t mind a freestyle session under the feet of a good kiteboarder.

What size ?

Ideal conditions ?

Ideal wave size: from almost nothing to big conditions.

Power: at its best in normal to hollow waves and doesn’t mind slashing the shorebreak.

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

What’s the ideal kite ?

The Alu kiteboard will work wonderfully with a Freewave that will maximize your performances in freestyle, but also with a Unik in the lighter conditions.

Quiver partners ?

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

When the wind is stronger, more sideshore and the waves larger, a Lethal will allow you to be even more radical.

In lighter conditions, a Matata will be a great option for freeriding or surfing in mushy waves.

And in freestyle a Catch kite or a Fatal would be very complementary.

Which settings ?

The Alu kiteboard 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 website.

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.

Equipments

The FATAL 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.

3 FCS II Glass Flex Fins for Tri fin mounting.
2 lateral boxes and 1 central box FCS II, high resistance permitting trifin mounting.
Deck Pad 5 mm grooved for adherence and comfort. Factory installed.
Inserts, screws and washers included for mounting your straps.
Pair of symmetric footstraps large light set.
Leash plug Concrete Fixed on the tail to never lose your board.
Automatic depressurization screw
