The Catch kiteboard is a shape totally dedicated to tricks & strapless surfing.

Introduction

The Catch is THE noseless board in the range to tear it up in freestyle with a kite surfboard. On flat water, it’s a very responsive board, ideal for freestyle and transitioning between tricks. It’s her favorite playground. In the air, it sticks to your feet. With its large surface area and lightweight, you place it in the wind right from takeoff, and it sticks to your stance. It’s perfect for working on tricks. And this large surface area allows you to land without hesitation, even if it’s messy, because the board will accept approximate foot placements without fuss. In surf, it’s a relatively taut board. This means it has record acceleration and impulse, but its rocker will limit it in hollow waves. You can surf with power and energy with an aerial style. The addition of channels boosts your board:

Control of your trajectories and directional stability is more significant, allowing for more serene support to push your limits in turns and full-speed choppy water.
They slightly tighten the rocker in selected sections. The flow is optimized, and the board’s character is upgraded.
By channeling the water, they significantly accelerate the flows and thus your speed.
True shock absorbers, they diffuse the impact of choppy water, and landings are softer.
Finally, they provide more natural rigidity to the composite and more resistance to breakage.

It’s the ultimate freestyle board!

Outline

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

Nose

The nose is almost square for maximum buoyancy on water and in the air.

Tail

The wide squash tail coupled with the deep concave hull offers monstrous pop.

Rocker

The rocker is taut for a very stable board that planes early.

Volume

The volume is minimal with very thin tips for control and unprecedented performance on flat water 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.
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 ?

The Catch kiteboard is accessible for a lightweight beginner due to 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 preferred program for this responsive and aerial board.

But it also loves small waves with a drive full of snaps and airs.

What size ?

Ideal conditions ?

Ideal wave size: from almost nothing to shoulder high.

Power: it performs best in soft to normal waves.

Aspect: it goes everywhere, even in choppy water and wind.

What’s the ideal kite ?

The Catch kiteboard will work wonders with a wave kite that maximizes your surfing performance, but also with a Unik in light winds, for example.

Quiver partners ?

You can complement the low range with a Kite foil board when the wind is really light.

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

Which settings ?

The Catch kiteboard is mounted as a Trifin with FCSII boxes. It’s up to you to mount 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 it feels free. You’ll find the sensations of surfing and have mobility on the board to play in the waves. It’s a very pure style of riding but difficult to master.

With straps, you’re sure your board will stay attached to your feet, even in the most committed aerial maneuvers. You’ll have much more control and performance one step above.

So it’s up to you if sensation prevails over performance. Place your straps in the central position (3rd hole) for the front strap, and the same for the back strap if you always ride with straps.

If you want to be able to take out the back foot for transitions and surfing, place the rear strap in the first hole from the back.

Which bag for my board ?
