Wainman Hawaii introduces their premier twin-tip board: the Blunt. It was designed to be crazy-light yet strong with very little drag and massive pop. Tested in the brutal waters of Maui, the Blunt’s thin profile cuts through chop like a razor and absorbs bumps like a shock. Its smooth, skatey feel can also be enjoyed finless, which is Lou Wainman’s favorite setup. The Blunt comes with light and cushy pads that absorb the impact but don’t let the rider “dive” into the foot straps when landing with power and speed. If this board meets the standards of Wainman himself, it should certainly meet yours.
Sizes: 120, 125, 130 and 135 cm

Mako King
The Mako King is already receiving rave reviews as the hottest new board design for 2010. Ride it Mutant or Twin Tip, you decide.
Twin Tip Mode:
When set up in twin tip mode, the King has fantastic light wind performance, however unlike many light wind specific boards the fun doesn’t stop if the wind picks up. The huge concave combined with our time tested Mako shape provides a smooth ride in ALL conditions.
Mutant Setup
This is where the Mako King really shines. By shifting the straps back on the symmetrical Mako King shape, the board comes to life, offering hard carving slashing turns that match or exceed most well designed directional surfboards. If you’re still learning to ride toe side, the Mako King is the perfect transition board. Both riding and jumping backwards are easy and comfortable on the Mako King!
As in twin tip mode, the Mutant setup delivers great performance in both light wind and heavy conditions.

Duraclear top and bottom for extreme durability

Contoured 3D EVA foot pads for added riding comfort and grip

You’ve just finished your lessons, and you already have your first Best kite, now you just need to choose the perfect board to help you maximize your progress. It has to be easy to ride, durable, and it has to look good as well. The Spark range has you covered.
With three different size models in the Spark range for the initial release, and a 124 for the second release, you are sure to find the perfect fit for your size, weight, and skill level. Flex patterns for each board size are adjusted to compensate for intended rider weight. The Spark’s new tri-axial glass layup, improved Wood-flex core and new channel release tips provide forgiving handling, great performance and maximum versatility.
Priced lower than you would expect for a board with such a high-spec, it’s the perfect board for any beginner or intermediate rider. Designed with progress in mind, we are sure you’ll keep your Spark long after you have completed your first season.
The 2010 Spark comes complete with A Grab Handle, Fins, Foot Straps and Pads.
