The New 2009 Kiteboard Range from Brunotti

I’m pleased to announce that S2AS (Surface2Air Sports) will again be selling Brunotti kite boards. The new 2009 range of boards are scheduled to arrive at the end of February.

The 2009 range sees the return of the popular Onyx, ProX, Bumblebee and Pro Princess boards and now they all have the now famous Brunotti full wood core with ABS rails and each has new killer graphics, so we're sure these boards will impress again!

New editions to the Brunotti kite board range - the Youri Pro a top end freestyle board and the Pro King a totally pimped out board for those individuals looking for something unique! Both boards feature Brunotti's new GSS (Gel Shock System) footpads (see below for further info.)

The full range includes;

09 ONYX Kite Board

The new Brunotti 09 Onyx is the beginner to intermediate’s choice of kite board for either progressing through the initial phases or for getting into more advanced techniques such as jumps, spins, and transitions. The moderate rocker line is an ideal compromise design between speed and manoeuvrability. Multiple foot strap inserts allows a newbie to ride in a variety of configurations. The Onyx comes complete with a grab handle for transport or “board-off” style jumps. The Onyx is an ideal beginner-intermediate board, but is also a great lightwind board for those 10-15 knot days. The slight single concave shape on the bottom provides extra “lift” for an early plane with extra grip.

Features:
• ABS Sidewalls
• Inside Screen-printing
• Full woodcore
• Fibreglass
• G10 Fins
• Variable Foot Pads- & Straps

Sizes: 136x36, 136x38, 136x40, 130x36, 130x38 & 130x40 cm

09 PROX Kite Board

Brunotti’s legendary Pro X series has once again been refined to allow for even more radical freestyle action. The new Brunotti 09 Pro X is the board that international pro-riders are using during competition for unmatched power and pop. Brunotti have added Carbon/Kevlar strips strategically placed in an “x” pattern, which provide even more control and “pop” when loading up. The all-wood core has been extensively tested for a precise, moderately stiff flex pattern that remains constant with time and usage. Flip-nose tail ends allow for a smaller wet surface area when on a plane, resulting in increased top-line speed, which is also great for pop.
Whether you’re just starting to get into freestyle tricks or are the latest kiteloop-handlepass master, the Brunotti 09 Pro X is the kite board for you.

Features:
• ABS Sidewalls
• Inside Screen-printing
• Full woodcore
• Fibreglass
• Carbon Kevlar Torsion Stringer
• G10 Fins
• Variable Foot Pads- & Straps

Sizes: 128x37, 128x38.5, 128x40, 134x37, 134x38.5 & 134x40

YOURI PRO Kite Board

Fast and aggressive, replicating pro rider Youri Zoon’s aggressive style, the new Brunotti Youri Zoon Pro Model represents the purest in freestyle kite boards. A carefully tuned, progressive flex pattern provides maximum pop off the water for trick riding. Slightly wider tips allow for extra planning surface when landing hot from jumps, which means more stability and control. The Youri Pro is designed for speed with popping, so more parallel lines, and a faster rocker line. The board incorporates Brunotti’s now famous Woodcore interior for maximum durability and strength.

Features:
• ABS Sidewalls
• Inside Screen-printing
• Full woodcore
• Fiberglass
• Carbon Kevlar Torsion Stringer
• G10 Fins
• Variable GSS Foot Pads- & Straps

Sizes: 130x39 cm & 130x41 cm

PRO KING Kite Board

The new Brunotti 09 Pro King is specifically designed for overall freeride performance. A more rounded outline provides fast and grippy rail to rail transitions, with a flatter rocker line which is tuned for speed and upwind capability. Incorporating the latest in Brunotti WoodCore technology, the Pro King will outlast even the harshest of punishments. The Pro King also features the new GSS (Gel Shock System) footpads as featured on the Youri Pro.
The Brunotti Pro King is totally pimped out with diamonds on the foot straps, pads, and grab handle, giving it an unique aesthetic styling!
Pro King is available in two sizes, to cater for different rider weights, and wind conditions.

Features:
• ABS Sidewalls
• Inside Screen-printing
• Full woodcore
• Fibreglass
• Carbon Kevlar Torsion Stringer
• G10 Fins
• Variable GSS Foot Pads- & Straps

Sizes: 128x38 cm & 133x40 cm

09 PRO PRINCESS Kite Board

Kiteboards are designed with a number of variables in mind: wind/water, riding conditions, preferred style of riding, stance, and rider weight. Women typically have a narrower stance, prefer a more forgiving flex in the overall contour of the board, even the graphical designs are of a different preference.

The new Brunotti 09 Pro Princess is a board which has been designed for women and their specific needs. Incorporating a moderate flex pattern in combination with a smooth rocker line, the board provides enhanced tracking, upwind, and top-line speed while at the same time being forgiving on the knees and legs. The narrower footstrap stance (inserts) is ideal for women, providing more comfort on the legs during straight line riding, and the pads have been designed to tailor for smaller feet (more comfort and control).

Features:
• ABS Sidewalls
• Inside Screen-printing
• Full woodcore
• Fibreglass
• G10 Fins
• Variable Foot Pads- & Straps

Sizes: 125x36, 125x38, 130x36 & 130x38 cm

09 BUMBLEBEE Kite Board

The Brunotti 09 Bumblebee is a unique kite wave-surfing board. The progressive rocker line in conjunction with the proportionately thin (16 mm) volume allows for unprecedented control in wave riding. The Brunotti Bumblebee has been designed for typical “real-world” wave conditions, but also for pure, down-the-line wave riding. A single concave hull ensures the board planes early and remains “loose” on the water. A thruster fin set up on the tail makes for even more grip with bottom turns and cutbacks on the wave face, and on the nose of the board two small, central fins allow for control during “fakie” or “switch” riding. These front fins are placed clear from the rail so as to stay clear of the water when charging through bottom turns. Symmetrical foot strap placement ensures comfort for riding both goofie or rightie. The Brunotti 09 Bumblebee provides unprecedented performance and comfort for riding waves with a kite, and tracks upwind like a rocket.

Features:
• ABS Sidewalls
• Inside Screen-printing
• Full woodcore
• Fiberglass
• Variable Foot Pads- & Straps
• G10 truster fins 7.5 cm
• G10 middle fin 9.5 cm

Size: 152x42.5 cm

GSS FOOTPADS

Introducing the ultimate in footpad comfort, grip, and fashion statement: the Brunotti Air Pads. A multi-layering of high and low density moulded EVA, extra heel and toe reinforcements, and an elevated mid-foot design ensures maximum comfort and protection to the feet. Incorporating a unique Kryptonite gel, this moulds into an anatomical shape of the rider’s foot, providing ideal fit (Efficient Density Control). The sum of the design and materials involved equate to up to 50% more shock and vibration absorption, compared to traditional foam pads.

Connecting the straps to the board is a plate, which is screwed on to the deck only once. A link webbed in via a unique retainer strap connects the straps to the board. No more hassles of screwing and unscrewing foot straps! Available in black & white.
