Shinn Duke Kitesurf Boards


The Duke kite surfboard

The result of 10 years of kite boarding development and 25 years surf shaping, The diverse trio cater for all water and wind conditions for both strapped and strapless action. Born in the Canary Islands and tested around the world all 3 sizes offer speed and hold through the bottom turn and impressive snap off the lip. Simply riding a wave is not enough, you need to read it, feel it and rule it… get your Duke on and go ride.

5'6” – Speed and Versatility ” x 17 ½” tri fin
- Designed for the widest range of conditions the 5"6” is the most popular in the range. Three fins to offer snappy turns and vertical off the lips. The 5"6” is a great option if you ride in a variety of conditions.

5'10” – Power and Style x 17 ¾” tri/quad fin
- The most aggressive board in our range. It comes in tri or quad fin set-up, your choice. Only ¼” wider than the 5"6” the straighter outline in the tail of this board provides endless grip in the turn.

6'0” – Pure and simple x 18 ¾” tri fin
- The tri fin set up in the Duke range the 6"0” is for the purists. This board isn"t a fish but the increased width maintains your speed even when the wave isn"t perfect. Fully closed bottom turns, vertical off the lips and hard carving cutbacks come as standard.
