Kold Shapes Polar LW Leichtwind Kiteboard
Kold Shapes Polar LW Leichtwind Twintip Kiteboard Freestyle/Freerideendlich mal ein Kiteboard, welches nicht nur super fährt, sondern auch noch unsere Umwelt schont !
Nachdem KOLD shapes letztes Jahr mit seinem Flaggschiff, dem POLAR, auf den Markt kam, bringt die nachhaltige Marke dieses Jahr drei weitere Boards raus.
Eines davon ist das POLAR lightwind, der größere Bruder des Allrounders POLAR. Hier wurde ein Board designt, welches neben frühstem Angleichten auch enormen Fahrspass bietet. So hat es wie das POLAR außergewöhnliche Freestyleeigenschaften, obwohl es größer ist. So ist es zum einen für schwerere Personen als normales Board geeignet, als auch als Leichtwindalternative.
Im Wesentlichen ähneln sich das POLAR und die Leichtwindversion: Es hat auch die Doppelkonkave und die komplexe Channelkonstruktion um viel Grip und einen explosiven Pop zu bieten. Zudem beibehalten wurde die Outline, um sanfte Landungen und komfortable Fahreigenschaften, auch bei choppy Bedingungen, zu garantieren. Auch hier wurde ein FLAX STRINGER auf der Oberseite des Boards verarbeitet, um tip dives bei härteren Landungen zu verhindern.
Was vom POLAR zum POLAR LW verändert wurde ist vor allem der ROCKER: Beim Angleiten wird der CONTINOUS ROCKER flach gedrückt. So bietet das Board mehr Auflagefläche und man kann leichter angleiten.
Das Board kommt wie gewohnt mit den Ratschenbindungen, die mit einer Zehenkante, MEMORY FOAM und einem Luftkissen unter dem Fersenbereich ausgestattet sind.
Um perfekte Qualität zu garantieren und zudem die Transportwege zu verkürzen fertigt KOLD shapes ausschließlich in Europa. Zusammen mit ARKTIK gleichen sie den gesamten CO2 Ausstoß, der bei der Fertigung entsteht, aus. Zusätzlich werden keine Plastikverpackungen verwendet, denn Gründer Mario dreht schon am nächsten Film zu diesem Thema.
Wenn Du auf der Suche nach einem high performance Leichtwindboard bist, dann hast du es hier mit dem POLAR lightwind von KOLD gefunden! Probiere es einfach bei der Demotour von KOLD shapes aus und überzeuge dich selbst.

Kold Shapes Polar LW Leichtwind Twintip Kiteboard Freestyle/Freeride
The POLAR Light Wind Edition is the big brother of our Freestyle/Freeride deck. The goal of this board is to design a light wind board which still has all the freestyle abilities despite its bigger size! It comes in 146 x 43.5 and offers very early planning!
We have slightly modified the rocker line to support the incredible light wind abilities of this board. When riding, the CONTINUOUS ROCKER flattens out - to enhance earliest planning. At the same time we kept the DOUBLE CONCAVE and COMPLEX CHANNEL CONSTRUCTION to offer maximum grip for a perfect pop.
The forgiving outline of this board enhances a very smooth and light handling - even in choppy waters on our local beaches at the North and Baltic Sea. The softer FLEX and the AIR DAMPENING PADS allow super soft landings! At the same time the ANTI NEGATIVE FLEX Stringer made from FLAX FIBRE prevents tip diving on heavier landings!
Enjoy the Light Wind Days!
CO2 Neutral:
Our aim is to design the highest performing boards and reduce the impact we have on our planet at the same time. We believe that many of Mother Nature ́s materials such as FLAX and organic resins actually enhance the performance of our products. In addition all the CO2 emissions that occur during the production of our boards are off set by ARKTIK.
Flax Fibre
The FLAX FIBRE used in the board is a sustainable and cellulose based composite which is highly efficient at the same time. Not only does it reduce the carbon footprint of the board but also adds special mechanic properties compared to carbon or glass fibre. During our R&D work we designed different stringers to support the flex patterns for high impacts!
Wood Core
The POLAR is based on a CNC precision milled Paulownia WOOD CORE. This is the lightest and healthiest option and furthermore it enhances the flex patterns build into the board. To minimise the weight of the board we also milled a 3D top construction!
Double Concave
The DOUBLE CONCAVE offers maximum support during take off and landings! Furthermore it is designed to support the channel construction and provide extra grip when launching into flat spins of a kicker wave - and enhances early planning
Ratchet Bindings
The RATCHET BINDING is the easiest system to adjust while riding. The ratchet allows you to tighten or loosen the strap within seconds! To maximise the comfort we equipped the inside and edges of the strap with MEMORY FOAM.
Air Dampening Pads
The AIR DAMPENING system integrated into our pads is designed to absorb any shock while landing! The air cushion sits underneath and around the heel to offer maximum comfort - no matter if you are landing megaloops or simply ride in choppy waters. To further enhance a perfect stance we equipped the pads with a grippy 3D surface. The TOE RIDGE presses your toes towards the MEMORY FOAM of the binding. We could go on about all the different stance options - but just step in and try them out yourself!
Anti Negative Flex Stringer
The stringer made out of FLAX FIBRE runs from tip to tip across the whole deck and minimises the negative flex of the board. Thus the stringer prevents tip dives when landing with lots of speed or riding with bindings! Actually this is why the POLAR can be so flexible and offer the performance for extreme landings at the same time!
Absorption Flex The 3D channels and top construction of the board minimise the weight but also provide extremely precise flex. The board is designed to offer super soft landings and maximum comfort at maximum speed!
Continuos Rocker
We added a bit more CONTINUOUS ROCKER than the usual freeride board would provide. This is what makes the POLAR so perfect for soft landings and precise take off in all conditions. Furthermore it adds manoeuvrability and smoothens the ride in choppy conditions!
Grip Channels
The GRIP CHANNELS integrated into the DOUBLE CONCAVE and the tips allow you to have complete control over the edge at any time - even when launching completely overpowered into you next WOO record! The extra grip enhances upwind abilities and allow you to ride smaller fins to ease fast landings.
Binding:
The RATCHET BINDING is the easiest system to adjust while riding. The ratchet allows you to tighten or loosen the strap within seconds! The AIR DAMPENING system integrated into our pads is designed to absorb any shock while landing! The air cushion sits underneath and around the heel to offer maximum comfort - no matter if you are landing megaloops or simply ride in choppy waters. To further enhance grip we equipped the pads with a 3D surface. To maximise the comfort we equipped the inside and edges of the strap with MEMORY FOAM.
