THE IMPERATOR
The legend. The true jump champion with easy landing – anywhere. Our top selling model. We believe that the Imperator is, in terms of control, way beyond any other twin tip, especially in strong winds, choppy water or otherwise challenging conditions.
“A board can only be as fast as its controllability allows”. This is the insight all speedkiters have. Even at high speeds it is not a problem to slow the board down and then accelerate again.
Full 3D Rails
The middle rail of the Imperator is rounded. The additional effort that this requires is not without reason:
the water sucks around the rail allowing more load to be placed on the rail. This results in the Imperator being able to hold its rail – even at high speeds. The loading of the kite lines, through the board, is improved, even at high speed, allowing for higher jumps.
Moreover, thanks to the rounded rails, the ride becomes easier, more comfortable and more controlled – you don’t see surfboard with sharp rails do you?
High speed landings, for example after a Kiteloop, are much easier with the Imperator – in comparison to kiteboards with hard and sharp rails. No caught rails, even when the board lands slightly skew in the water. Landings are clearly easier than they are with the “Snowboard-type” rails.

The Difference
The unequalled high gloss finish of this custom board makes it something special. Few other materials are as optically precise as Carbon –when combined with the high gloss finish this allows no room for even the smallest error. This board is manufactured with much patience and the utmost care. After laminating, the board is wet sanded and varnished several times before being ready for use.
The result is a kiteboard that is so light and robust, that it is a pure joy. The ride characteristics are unbeatable. And all this can be customized for each rider. The construction with carbon allows for lighter glassing, since the lighter and stiffer carbon fibers are laid at the right angles to support the torsion of the board. This allows for one less layer of glassing to be applied. A true CARVED Custom. You’ll want one. |

The Difference
The “Full Carbon Flex” Version has a scratch resistant top deck, constructed with light carbon fiber. The look and robustness are unbeatable. The ride characteristics are impressive: defined flex at the right places allows for powerful jumps and improved upwind riding. The result is a kiteboard that is extremely light and ultra robust. The ride characteristics are unbeatable. The construction with carbon allows for lighter glassing, since the lighter and stiffer carbon fibers are laid at the right angles to support the torsion of the board. This allows for one less layer of glassing to be applied. You are left with a board that is much lighter, as less glassing is required, but still has the right amount of flex, at the right places, as well as torsion along the longitudinal axis, which a sport board requires. A true CARVED Custom. You’ll want one. |

The Difference
What you see is what you get - Pure Wood. We worked with a clear laminate to show off the wood core. Every board looks different. The wood colors are brought out beautifully by the clear laminate. At the same time the board is incredibly robust. The fiberglass rail around the board is especially visible. A true CARVED Custom. You’ll want one. |
