For 07 our R&D department has been hard at work redefining the limits of what’s possible with kiteboard construction. When your product sits right at the cutting edge of performance and technology, improvements are always hard to find, but for 07 we’ve delivered improved shapes, improved handling and refined our construction techniques even further; to give you the lightest, strongest and easiest to ride boards on the market.
Shannon’s philosophy that ‘It’s what’s inside that counts’ has never been truer than with the 07 line up, from the ‘Chubby’ to the ‘Spark LTD’ the R&D department has left no stone unturned, no option untested in their search for the ultimate performance and reliability. If you’ve ever wondered just what’s inside our boards, here’s a selection of what we’ve used for 07.
AirexR82 foam core.
120gm Unidirectional-carbon fiber.
Stainless steel and brass multi-way deck inserts.
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) top and bottom sheets and sidewalls.
PBT (Polybutylterephalate) top and bottom sheets.
190gm Uni-glass.
200gm Biaxial-carbon fiber..
H-100medium density PVC foam.
240gm Biaxial-glass.
Of course, building a great line up of boards is more than just following a recipe, otherwise we’d all be 3 star Michelin Chefs. It takes the combined efforts of the most experienced riders, with the best composites engineers and manufacture technicians to make Shannon’s ‘board vision’ a reality.
With Shannon heading up the field testing of our boards you can be assured that they all deliver perfectly crisp, yet forgiving handling and are capable of taking a beating; from overhead line up all the way to the slider park. Countless different lay-ups and plan shapes were developed and discarded along the way before the production boards were finally created, and every single adjustment in construction or shaping was back to back tested to ensure that every change was a significant improvement over what went before.
Our continuous R&D program has one goal; and that’s to deliver boards that make your riding easier and more enjoyable than any other.
