The compact 100% strapless board for kite foiling and pumping.
The Kiwii HDCC has been specifically designed for strapless kite foiling. In kite foiling it can do it all, Freeride, Strapless Freestyle or Wave Riding. It is aimed at experienced to expert riders, who are looking for THE magic carpet:
In the air, its super short format makes it invisible. This feeling of Flying then takes on its full meaning. The Kiwii slips totally off your mind. You can see the water flowing at full speed under your feet in a magical silence. Quite an addictive feeling.
In tricks, this feeling of not having a board underfoot is increased by its lightness, its rigidity and by its flat deck which offers an almost direct contact between the feet and the foil. No latency on the impulses of your feet: the response in the maneuvers is immediate and instinctive.
In freestyle, you will love its lightness. Its refined rails will allow you an easy grip to send grabbed airs. You will feel confident on landings because it can absorb everything.
The new HDCC construction of the KIWII provides extreme rigidity. The slightest of your intention is transmitted with incredible responsiveness. This 100% carbon prepreg molded techno allows us to refine the board without compromising its rigidity. The multiple stringers and 100% carbon boxes also provide an ultimate barrier against flex and breakage.
The connection is direct with your foil. Results:
It is available in a single size of 3’5 for 9.5L. As soon as you have the level to ride a Kiwii, the volume doesn't matter.
Note that this size is ideal for traveling. A major advantage when you like to travel light. A Kiwii with two Strutless and you have the lightest quiver.
Its outline is very rounded at the nose. Its largely chamfered rails are thin and soft. These characteristics, combined with its compactness, allow you to sail on all angles and link incisive turns together while minimizing touchdowns. Endless carves are all yours!
Large rounded square nose to have more front foot surface, with a very marked double concave underneath which makes it easier to manage touchdowns in choppy conditions even with a lot of lean angle. It also provides added rigidity.
A rounded square tail that’s narrower than the nose for immediate planing and control in chop without losing speed in the event of a touchdown.
Flat deck for control and steering precision.
Wide, flat beveled hull at the tail then double significant concave for more control when touching down.
The rails are thin and soft, but with a light, discreet sidewall that optimizes rigidity and resistance to possible impacts.

Buying guide
Strapless kite foiling requires perfect control of flight and maneuvers. They are therefore aimed at riders of a good to expert level.
For Pumping sessions, the Kiwiii HDCC boards are ideal whether you are a beginner or an expert.
If you’re 100% strapless oriented, and want a pocket board to reel off tacks, jibes and other tricks, then the Kiwii is made for you.
If you’re looking for the perfect dockstart pumping board that also works for kitefoiling, look no further. The Kiwii is the board you want for the job.
And if you like to travel light, this is a perfect board.
The Kiwii HDCC will work perfectly in kite foiling with:
In general, we recommend stabs with a very small surface such as a Fluid 38 for example.
You can also choose to switch to a Freestyle stab for their shorter fuselage which promotes responsiveness by reducing the radius of curves. Or conversely take the easy road to performance with the Curve stab in a small size.
The must is to upgrade this foil with a 100cm Carbon V2 mast or an HM92 mast.
For pumping sessions:
The Kiwii HDCC is fabulous with a Strutless to perform in winds below 20 knots. This kite is close to a race kite above 11m2 for its ratio and aptitudes, but with the safety of an inflatable structure. It flies in nothing and holds crazy upwind courses, yet it’s a very maneuverable kite too. Perfect.
But the Kiwii HDCC is also a good match for the Unik which will bring a lot of maneuverability to link manoeuvers for example.
Equipments
The Kiwii FSP Pro boards are equipped with our high-end 5mm thick Ridge Traction Pad. The Hard Brush surface treatment provides a firm grip. Besides, the comfort is unequaled because the entire surface of the foot is in contact with the pad. Unlike a pad with large reliefs, the grip is made by an infinity of micro reliefs, hence this “velvet” contact. This new one-piece pad covers the entire useful surface of the deck. It exempts you from waxing your board. And it avoids small angles that could end up peeling off.
Need to switch between kitefoil and beachstart sessions? Double-entry US rails and SCS nuts for foil attachment let you change masts in 2 turns of the key.
With the SCS nuts connected by the composite rods, the nuts on the top plate are automatically perfectly set. You just need to position the top plate over the 4 entries, insert the nuts all at once, slide the foil back to the chosen position and in two turns of the key per screw the foil is mounted. The GONG double entry box facilitates the assembly and adjustment of the foil!
Performance without the hassle. When dismantling the foil, you can leave the nuts and the screws on the top plate, just loosen the screws, remove the foil and off you go!
It is the plug and play solution which facilitates adjustments
