Kold Shapes Horizon Twintip Kiteboard Freestyle/ FreerideDu dachtet das Polar ist gut fürs Freestylen? Try this and be blown away ! Die Umwelt schont ihr damit im vergleich zu einem herkömmlichen Board auch noch!
Nachdem KOLD shapes letztes Jahr mit seinem Flaggschiff, dem POLAR, auf den Markt kam, bringt die nachhaltige Marke dieses Jahr drei weitere Boards raus.
Das HORIZON ist das neue reine Wakestyleboard von KOLD shapes. Es ist genau auf die Bedürfnisse von Freestylekitern zugeschnitten, was es zum persönlichen Favoriten von Mario Rodwald, dreifachem Europameister und KOLD shapes Gründer macht.
Im Vergleich zum Allrounder POLAR hat dieses Board weniger Flex und Torsion. In Verbindung mit der geraderen Outline gibt das extrem viel Pop -was Dir die Möglichkeit gibt, sehr präzise Kante zu geben. Vor allem für ausgehakte Tricks ist das Board perfekt, denn mit ein wenig mehr Rocker als das POLAR hat man selbst bei harten Landungen immer die Kontrolle.
Das HORIZON kann sowohl mit Boots als auch mit Schlaufen gefahren werden. So kann man je nach Bedingungen das perfekte Setup erstellen.
Das Board kommt wie gewohnt mit den Ratschenbindungen mit Zehenkante, MEMORY FOAM und Luftkissen unter dem Fersenbereich, sowie eine der beiden Finnen: Für besonders viel Grip kann man die Standard 4.5 FREESTYLE Finnen wählen, für ein weicheres Fahrgefühl empfiehlt KOLD die 3.0 WAKESTYLE Finnen.
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.
Über die ganze Saison geht KOLD shapes auf Demo tour, probiert dort am Besten das HORIZON aus wenn ihr euch ein außergewöhnlich gutes Freestyleboard zulegen wollt. Bei KOLD seid ihr damit auf jeden Fall richtig.
Kold Shapes Horizon Twintip Kiteboard Freestyle/ Freeride
The HORIZON is designed to master high performance Freestyle and Wakestyle riding. Making it the most extreme board in our range and the weapon of choice of 3x European Champion and KOLD shapes founder Mario Rodwald.
The harder flex, less torsion and the slightly straighter outline offer immense pop. This allows you to hold the rail for the most precise take off and will give you the extra slack to learn your next unhooked move. This board goes along perfect with boots or straps. The complete board comes with our Ratchet Binding including the TOE RIDGE, MEMORY FOAM and AIR DAMPENING PAD.
For extra grip choose the standard FREESTYLE 4.5 fins and for a looser feeling we recommend the WAKE 3.0 fins!
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. 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!
