The Act V2 – Ten Kiteboarding

1. WE ENHANCED THE DOUBLE CONCAVE

Our double concave is a true marvel of control, comfort, playfulness and speed.
By using a milling technique we we’re able to get a deeper concave and a more profound “spine” along the middle of the board.
This “v” in the bottom positions the stiffer part exactly where you need it; right between your feet. Resulting in excellent chop absorbtion whilst creating more grip and speed at the same time.

2. GRAB RAILS

Hard to miss. Literally.
Going from a nice feature to a bare essential is often just about going the extra mile during the design process and doing it just right.
We created a grabrail that is so hard to miss that there is a bigger chance of you wearing it out instead of realizing it ever existed.

Happy grabbing!

3. WE ADDED CHANNELS AND FLEX IN THE TIPS

Channels are a great way to control speed, specifically after landing.
As a bonus they stiffen up the tip, making the Act v2 even more lively and more sporty than V1.  It’s easier to “load” the board and not waste energy.
Normally there is a thug-of-war between comfort and performance,  but by thinning the tips on the top off the board around the fins we kept flex where you need it for control and comfort.

4. FLEX, ERGONOMICS AND SIZING

Ergonomics is the art of not just scaling up and down.
Heavier riders have weight to combine with power and want a board that can handle both.
Lighter riders want different flex, prefer a different stance and may look for different size straps.
We optimized our boardsizes, flex patterns, core thickness, insert placement as well as strapsizes for the expected rider and his/her ergonomics.
That means every rider experiences will experience The Act as intended.  Let The Act v2 serve you!

5. WOODCORE, GLASSFIBER, INSERTS, SIDEWALLS

Like Italian cooking: use top quality ingredients and you only need a handful of ingredients for a great classic.  The best quality of wood is its natural ability to flex and store loads of energy at the same time. Our full wood core harnesses both these qualities.
The wood in our Paulownia wood cores has little to no fingerjoints, so you’ll ride the best and it will look the par too aswell!

By optimizing the insert positions per size for the anticipated rider we only needed 2 inserts. Saves weight, saves cost, prevents confusion.
Narrow for a more comfortable stance, wide for more power and control, keeping it as simple as it is.

Glassfiber composite: simply the best choice for allround performance.  Strong, light, though, resilient and transparant.

Trimming down the sidewalls thickness allowed us to lose significant weight, without losing any of the toughness or durability.

Riding The Act you’ll experience that comfort, control and performance can work together for a naturally vivid feel!
