A LEAGUE OF IT'S OWN

Combining new-school performance characteristics of the Team Series with plug-and-play free-ride comfort, the Jaime is a legendary, progressive, all-terrain machine and truly a benchmark in a league of its own.

The subtle combination of a round rocker, single concave and Responsive Center Flex makes the Jaime extremely smooth through the chop, yet still aggressive enough to keep up with the young guns with amazing pop and a solid, positive feel on edge. Featuring our most high-tech construction, harmonic flex and S-bend fins, the Jaime’s emphasis on early planing and great upwind ability make it ideal for gusty winds, to keep you planing through the holes. The 137cm offers plenty of reserves for heavier people even in tricky, gusty conditions, where a little extra planing surface is needed. This is Jaime’s only toy that is allowed to sleep in his bed… Simply slip your feet into the straps and see just how good it can feel!

THE LOW RIDER

Waiting for wind on the beach sucks! With the Phantom you’ll be busting out freestyle tricks while everyone else is still stuck on the beach.

With unrivalled upwind performance the Phantom is the master of light wind twin tips. The latest lightweight construction gives you absolute controllability and responsiveness for a lively and exciting ride. Positive grip on the heel-side edge provides plenty of back foot pressure to push against while motoring upwind and is perfect for smooth flat-water carves.

The smaller Phantom is perfect for light-wind freestyle while it’s bigger brother is aimed at getting you out in the lightest breeze possible.

DOWN THE LINE

Building on the success of last year's Kontact series, the new 2010 Kontact is back again as a no-compromise up-size board that is most suited to solid, pumping surf. Let's face it; Kiting allows you to ride with more power and speed than any other form of surfing, so why not take advantage of it? With its rounded pin-tail, gunny outline and low tail rocker the Kontact is incredibly predictable and drives hard off the bottom like no other making it perfect for the most aggressive riders who like ride with speed and power.

The board of choice for team riders Sky and Dreu in most conditions, this board holds a rail in even the most extreme and choppy conditions and will never let you down in a high speed turn. Thin rails give the Kontact a lively and positive feel under your feet and the single concave throughout helps carry you through a turn and accelerate up the face. Whether you're charging big waves or using the kite to whip yourself through high speed carves, look no further than the Kontact!

"When it starts getting really windy or the surf gets over 6 feet, I'm on my Kontact. It's got such a solid feel and accelerates harder you push it. Great for strapped riding, feels nice and lively and gives me all the control I need at high speed."
-Sky Solbach

Fins:
Small = Pinhead: fast and snappy for lighter riders
Large = Fathead: lots of drive and grip for heavy riders

STOMP IT!

The Team Series boards have always been the product of evolution. An evolution driven by riders who are pushing freestyle kiteboarding to the next level and whose riding defines the new-school era. Demanding the most of their boards in all conditions, we are constantly developing new technology to meet the high expectations of our most progressive riders.

Featuring the most aggressive and uncompromised flex pattern, the 2010 Team Series boards benefit immensely from the new center flex concept which allows the tips to flex for huge pop and the hardest, smoothest landings while still feeling solid and aggressive on edge. A bit more width in the center gives you the possibility to ride smaller kites and the insane upwind performance means you can throw down more tricks in less time. The new S-Bend fins offer more pop, are faster, provide more directional stability and engage quicker after fast landings.
Last but for sure not least, rounded center rails allow a smoother ride and saver landings.

TEAM SERIES YOUNGBLOOD

Also included in the Team Series is the Youngblood; an uncompromised newschool twin-tip for lightweight grommets. The customized flex pattern and dimensions are specially developed for lighter weight persons, who want the most pop and most aggressive feel!

Available in small, medium and large to suit new-school riders of nearly all shapes and sizes;

131/40cm (Small): Reno’s & “Super” Mario’s choice

THE BIG HITTER

The XRide is an all terrain twin tip perfect for doing huge jumps, freestyle and power carves in the surf. Our most sought after board in 2009, the X-Ride’s aesthetically harmonic features and smooth ride still make it the most versatile board in the NKB range.

Our new responsive center flex concept allows for earlier planning while also dampening and absorbing the chop for an incredibly smooth feel. A refined, rounder rocker and slightly wider outline have further tightened XRide’s turning radius for venturing out into the surf and make it easy to find the release point for take-offs. The specially designed S-Bend fins give the XRide excellent upwind abilities, provide grip for high speed carves and allow you to hold your edge to the absolute limit for maximum pop and massive sent jumps. Comfortable, solid grip on edge and no spray at all in your face makes the XRide a board you can step on and instantly feel right at home.

ALL ACTION SURFER

The Wave Attack Model is a radical all-round thruster-fin design aimed at high performance surfing in small to medium size waves. It is the ideal weapon for beach breaks where quick rail to rail acceleration and snappiness off the top are key. Round and compact, this board destroys small waves with its super-tight turning radius. The relatively low entry rocker and width give you a large planing surface while a full single concave gives you plenty of carry when the kite power goes away. Imagine the tightest, flowing turns and pumping freely from rail to rail to quickly generate speed for your next bash and you can begin to picture what the WAM is all about. The WAM will please strapped and strapless riders alike and give new life to even the most average wave days.

"I never leave home without packing my WAM in my board bag. It's a must have for beach breaks and so much fun to ride strapless. Just an incredible all-rounder that turns on a dime! It's even able to handle some of the bigger surf."
-Sky Solbach

JAIME WOULD GO!

Our popular and innovative FreestyleFish is back for it's third-generation with new looks and new style. With a striking new outline and added grab rails it doesn't just look the part; The FSF is the perfect board to make the most out of less-than-stellar wave conditions, light wind and flat water trickery. At 5'2", it still has plenty of volume to get you up and going thanks to it's wide outline and full rails, yet is short enough to be functional in even the smallest waves. A great introductory board to wave riding, the FSF is easy to jibe, has a very balanced directional feel and is a terrific light wind weapon! Strapless riding is made easy with the comfortable sky-hooks or throw some foot straps on and shred to your heart's content. Who knows, maybe you don't have to travel to Hawaii to find those perfect waves afterall... “In 2010 the Freestyle Fish will be the ultimate board for both an introduction to kitesurfing on waves as well as high performance strapless surfing. I’m sure there are tons of hours of fun and challenge canned inside this board”.
-Jaime Herraiz

THE RACING MACHINE

The Race Ltd is a high performance course racing competition board, developed in cooperation with the Race World Champion Charles Deleau that indeed smokes upwind and leaves the competition behind! With its CNC-cut G10 quad-fn setup, the Race Ltd is finely tuned for precision performance in the lightest possible breeze and has, without a doubt, the absolute best upwind performance that has ever been seen in a production kite board. The added length, width and volume offer earlier light wind planing while the added area in the nose also offers more control at high speeds. A three-footstrap configuration makes jibing and tacking easy and is comfortable on those long reaches. Whether used as a light-wind weapon or a course racing board, the Race Ltd will open your mind to new realms of kiteboard performance.
