The HADLOW Wakestyle kitesurf board from Flexifoil is accessible enough for any rider using or wanting to use bindings. With its smooth cut through chop, comfortable ride and fast aggressive performance, it’s a great ride for those looking to push themselves in wakestyle riding, rails and cross over to cable parks. Designed by Aaron Hadlow himself, the HADLOW Wakestyle kiteboard from Flexifoil offers a new standard in performance. With a long list of features and intricate special designs, in its class, this really is the best performing board you can ask for!

Technical Information

World’s Most Advanced Base Channel System
Completely unique and perfected down to the last millimetre to maximise grip and optimise water flow, the HADLOW Wakestyle kiteboard’s base channel system completely locks in whilst edging but gives a loose feel whilst flattening off for superb handling. A deep, strong quad concave in the base of the board enhances grip, with specialised channels running along the heel and toe edge and on the tips of the board creating a fin-like effect that allows comfortable riding, even without fins. The HADLOW Wakestyle kiteboard gives you the option to hit rails without any possibility of catching fins whilst sliding.

High Defined Rocker
The HADLOW Wakestyle kiteboard carries a strong rocker line, a little more than the average kiteboard, for better landing and handling with boots. However, there is still less than conventional wakeboards, which are often too slow when using a kite. Combined with the base channels this keeps the board’s speed and creates a loose, superbly handling kiteboard that generates strong pop and locked in landings. The rocker has been developed to find perfect balance not only on the kite, but also crossing over naturally onto cable wakeboarding.

High Strength for Bindings
The HADLOW Wakestyle kiteboard is designed to be stiffer and thicker than the HADLOW Freestyle board, optimising it for bindings, with an in built stiffening structure adding even more strength across the deck. We have added a ‘grind base’ bottom surface so if you do decide to hit some rails it will not break or deteriorate as quickly as conventional kiteboards. This kiteboard has been built to cope with all the abuse Aaron can throw at it, we’ve challenged him to break it but it just keeps on going!

Versatile Cross-over Board
The HADLOW Wakestyle kiteboard has been suited to sit in between the HADLOW Freestyle kiteboard and other wakeboards, offering awesome crossover from kites, to the cable. You won’t find this level of performance on any other board in the world. This HADLOW Wakestyle kiteboard really is in a class of its own.

Purpose Built Fins
For those times when you do need or want the fins, we’ve designed unique fins for the HADLOW Wakestyle kiteboard, taking a small shape perfectly suited for wakestyle tricks
