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
For the first time, we are offering the Imperator as a series board, in full carbon. Available in the five most popular sizes. The construction method is identical to the CARVED customs “made on Fehmarn”; with defined sizes and design, the price is unbeatable. 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. |
