Spleene RIP High Tech Kitesurfing Kiteboard 2012

The Spleene RIP 2012 HT board is your all-round twin tip board.

With Spleene's impressive potential in all fields these boards playfully get you to the next level. Our 2012 HT boards provide all the important features you need for that!
Very good upwind performance and early planing, plus outstanding comfort in all conditions. This has been accomplished by a slightly wider outline at the tips.

By this means the new HT boards now offer you even more power especially in the lower wind range. Furthermore, a newly defined improved flex pattern has lead to a further increased comfort. It took us numerous prototypes to combine this gain of power and comfort.These precisely balanced boards enables you to kite for hours without getting tired but with maximum riding pleasure. Thanks to their newly developed scoop lines and further optimized use of carbon the 2012 HTs have got that specific bit of extra power and comfort that makes the difference.

Board sizes:

RIP 34: 134x39.5
RIP 37: 137x41.5
RIP 40: 140x45.5

In 2012, for the first time the Spleene HTs are available in 3 color ways:

Spleene HT 2012 - the never ending progress!

With inspiration, creativity and courage we create a new form of perfection. The will to be ahead is the philosophy behind every board of the High Tech Line. In this process the RIP is the absolute masterpiece, optimized to every detail - a well balanced mixture of comfort and sportiness. Its technical features make every RIP to one of the best boards on the market. For the first time tucked under edge and full center rails have been combined for a revolutionary effect to the 2012 RIP's performance: Maximum speed without catching plus absolute smoothness. Beveled rails and our active tip channel provide softer rides and outstanding comfort in crazy choppy conditions, because the RIP cuts like a knife through choppy water with maximum grip of the rails. High end manufacturing can be found especially in the cold molded twin 3D-wood core and the carbon laminate structure. Each board of the High Tech Line is a technical masterpiece - light and extremely tough. Comfort and maximum performance have always been the key features of the RIP boards. In 2012 more than ever a RIP is your FIRST choice.
