The Thorn CC delivers the most direct power for light wind efficiency, upwind drive, and explosive freestyle pop on-demand. It was no small project to improve upon the performance of the 2009 Thorn. Kevin Langeree was unwilling to compromise any amount of the Thorn’s speed and power that has been absolutely proven by his competition excellence in the various conditions around the world.

The Thorn’s moderately more parallel outline, wider tips and low rocker line perfectly balances locked-in grip with essential control. Our greatest achievement for 2010 was from continued construction development where we managed to combine truly the best attributes of the 2009 Thorn and Thorn FC.

The winning combination for the 2010 Thorn CC construction was discovered with the same top and bottom laminates as the 2009 Thorn, but replacing its I-beam core with carbon fiber composites from the FC. The end result is a new Thorn that has the solid control of the 2009 Thorn, with the responsive liveliness of the FC.

The Momentum is a new range that offers top freestyle riders a performance alternative to the Thorn, characterized by a higher rocker line for a new style of pop and insanely smooth landings.

The performance of the Momentum did not evolve from any other range of kiteboards. It is entirely new. The Momentum goes in a completely new direction in terms of rocker and outline. The new combination results in radically smooth performance, a new style of freestyle pop, and makes landing the craziest moves easier than imagined possible.

In comparison to the Thorn, the Momentum’s outline is more parallel over the majority of the length of its rail to balance the increased rocker. Unlike the Thorn, which derives its pop from its rock solid edging and powerful tips, the Momentum has a more wake style pop off the full rocker when ridden flat. The increased width and surface area promote early planing and added glide; and in combination with the new rocker, it guarantees the smoothest landings ever.

While the Thorn challenges you to show the world how good you are, the Momentum lets you push yourself to become even better.

The first question is always, “What’s up with the snowboard outline on a kiteboard?” The answer is simple. What makes round tips the right shape on a snowboard is the same reason its right for a kiteboard. At the nose, the round tip allows for the cleanest water entry possible without catching, tripping or splashing. At the tail, the round tip focuses the board’s power down the centerline, where it is easier to control than at the edge. The Sol’s round outline, which is great for control especially at higher speeds, is combined with an efficient rocker to promote planing in lighter winds. Unlike other designs, where riders may need to adjust their position to find the board’s balance, the Sol’s entire board is a sweet-spot. There is no tricky balance required, and no hick-ups. Just smooth edging, through even the worst chop. The Sol is where snowboarding meets wakeboarding.
