Kiteboard Lethal FSP 2X
The Lethal kiteboard 2021/2022 is our 100% radical sideshore shape.
Function
The Lethal kiteboard is our 100% radical sideshore shape.
Introduction
The Lethal is THE kiteboard for going big in good conditions. With its point nose and its round tail, it’s 100% shortboard oriented for extreme carving.
In the surf, it’s custom made for sideshore conditions. It works well in hollow waves thanks to its precise drive. It will give you the confidence you need for throwing down the most radical of moves and for projecting yourself up the sweetest wave faces in serenity.
It offers perfect pivot and incredible rail to rail. When you transfer your stance back and forth in the curve, you can feel all the magic of the round tail, which doesn’t limit this radicalism. The Lethal dives in the curve, but it also knows how to do snappy turns and throw big sprays +++.
To get to the point: it’s the board for the sickest turns!
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 outline is 100% shortboard with an ultra manoeuvrable tail and a thin point nose so it doesn’t get caught in the turns, barrels and tricks. The shape of the board is a set of very soft curves for a progressive action triggering. You enter the curves and increase the pressure at will, without losing the rail. It’s very healthy behavior that allows you to take advantage of this radical board.
The round tail provides ultra progressive rail to rail and the best possible handling. The portion of rail submerged in the curve is reduced as you push with the rear foot. So it’s up to you to define the radicality of your turns !!!
The point nose is so minimalist that you won’t ever think about it.
The very heavy rocker is dedicated to handling. The slightest pressure on the tail releases the nose to turn even shorter, do a snap and throw some spray.
The work on the hull is important to combine a strong grip on the edges and handling in the surf. 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. And we end with a double concave in V behind the central fin to optimize the rail to rail tilt without losing grip in the curve.
Finally the volume is reduced to the strict minimum to have an ultra healthy board that does not bounce at the bottom, it’s very discreet and gives particularly effective thin rails.

What’s the ideal kite ?
The Lethal kiteboard will work wonderfully with a Freewave.
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 lighter and the waves softer, an Alu kiteboard will give you more mobility on the water and more power to throw down big moves.
In light conditions, a Matata will be a great option for freeriding or surfing in mushy waves.
And in freestyle a Catch kiteboard or a Fatal would be very complementary.
Which settings ?
The Lethal 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.
