Kitefoil Board Kiwii Strapped HDCC 3'5
Program
The ultimate compact board for kitefoil and pumping.
Presentation
The Kiwii HDCC was specifically designed for kitefoil use, with or without straps. Freeride, freestyle strapless, surf... it does it all. It’s designed for advanced and expert riders in search of THE magic carpet:
- Very compact for exceptional maneuverability.
- Super rigid for more responsiveness and impeccable precision in maneuvers.
- Ultra light and solid to send grabbed airs and hugged kiteloops.
In flight, its ultra-compact shape makes it almost invisible, truly embodying the word "fly." The Kiwii completely disappears, leaving you with the sensation of the water flowing beneath your feet in perfect silence, creating an addictive experience.
When it comes to tricks, the sensation of lightness is enhanced by its stiffness and flat deck, offering a direct foot-to-foil connection and an instant, intuitive reaction in every move.
In freestyle, you will love its lightness. Its refined rails will allow you an easy grip to send grabbed airs. With straps, you'll have confidence when landing full-speed jumps, as it absorbs impacts flawlessly.
The Kiwii’s new HDCC construction delivers extreme stiffness. Each pressure point is transmitted with incredible responsiveness. With this 100% pre-preg carbon molding technology, we’ve been able to refine the board while maintaining its strength. The numerous stringers and 100% carbon boxes offer ultimate resistance to flex and breakage. The connection with the foil is direct, resulting in:
- Tenfold sensations.
- Total control.
- Maximum durability.
- Ultra-light weight.
It is available in a single size of 3'5" for 9.5L. Once you have the skill to ride a Kiwii, the volume doesn’t matter.
Keep in mind that this size is ideal for travel. A big plus for those who prefer to travel light: a Kiwii with two strutless kites, and you’ve got the lightest quiver you can imagine.
OUTLINE
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!
NOSE
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.
TAIL
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.
DECK
Flat deck for control and steering precision.
FOOTSTRAPS INSERTS
For those who love strapped pocket boards, straps can now be mounted on the Kiwii.
HULL
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
For whom?
Whether you're riding strapless or with straps in kitefoil, controlling a compact board like this requires excellent skill in flight and maneuverability. These boards are thus intended for advanced to expert riders. In pumping, the Kiwii HDCC boards are ideal for all levels, from beginners to experts.
For what?
For those looking to perform tacks, jibes, big jumps, kite loops, and other tricks on a pocket board, the Kiwii is your go-to.
If you're in search of the perfect dockstart pumping board that also works for kitefoiling, the Kiwii has you covered.
Plus, it's the perfect board for those who prefer traveling light.
What is the ideal foil?
The Kiwii works perfectly in kite with our foils, particularly:
The Curve H V3 (XXS, XS & S) for easy allround freeride riding.
The Fluid H V3 (3XS, XXS, XS & S) and Veloce H V3 (XS & S) for increased speed and maneuverability.
For speed lovers, all XS and S sizes in Ypra-S, Veloce H, and Ypra.
Generally, we prefer very small surface stabs like a Fluid 38, for example. You can also go for the Freestyle stab, which has a shorter fuselage that improves reactivity by decreasing the turning radius. Or, alternatively, you can take the easy performance option with the small-sized Curve stab.
For optimal performance, upgrade this foil with a carbon mast between 85cm and 107cm, depending on your preferences and program.
And for pumping sessions?
All the giant front wings (Sirus, Curve H, Fluid H) will be perfect with the HM70 and the HM77 masts.
Quel est le kite idéal ?
The Kiwii HDCC is amazing with a Strutless, excelling in winds below 20 knots. It has the performance of a race kite but with the safety of a bladder. It flies in almost no wind and tacks incredibly well, all while staying maneuverable.
For big air and kiteloops, the Kiwii pairs perfectly with the Vertigo, Ayto, and Ayto DP. Your gear now offers limitless potential, it's up to you to push your boundaries.
The Kiwii also works incredibly well with the Unik, enhancing its maneuverability for smooth turns and carving.
Equipments
Full Deckpad
The Kiwii HDCC comes with our new 5mm thick Ridge Traction pad. The grooved surface design ensures excellent grip. The pad is one continuous piece that covers the entire top surface, so there's no need to wax your board. It also eliminates small angles that could peel off over time.
US double-entry box system
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
