The TwinsBros Surfboards builds kiteboards for over 15 years. The technical level and needs of the riders are changed a lot over the years as well as the shapes of the wings requiring an evolution of the shapes of the boards and an optimization of the materials to offer the TOP of performances.Over the past 8 years the TwinsBros production has been dedicated exclusively to the wave kiteboards abandoning twintip to stay only in the world of waves.

SHAPES

The shape of the kiteboards are not the same as surfboards but optimizedto surf with the wing that, even if left discharged over the head, does not allowthe kitesurfer to assume the same position as the surfer.Usually the center of gravity of a kitesurfer, who must hold the boom, is shifted towards the tail and the edge of the board. When maneuvering, kitesurfer find a useful handhold in the wing.

The bottom shapes is designed specifically for the kiteboards to have a board comfortable and responsive. The exit rocker is optimized to be able to go upwindand to manouver in the right way on the waves. Use a surfboards shape, as many other company do, it would not be a goodchoice as the board would not be very maneuverable (hard on the legs) andtiring while cruising.

The lengths of the boards do not vary according to the size of the rider as in thesurfing. The wing allows the rider to glide easily regardless of his weight and size (like in tow-in surfing where surfers used very short boards to surf giant waves which wuould required longer boards to paddle in).This allows you to use short boards and to have a lot of fun.

MATERIALSMATERIALS

CONSTRUCTION

TEST carried out in the water by our rider, including the German Jonas Steffen, led us to only use a PU blanks + polyester resin + fiberglass or fiberglass / carbon construction. We use standard or high-density blanks (these last are designed specifically for tow-in and kite surfing, much harder than the normal ones used for surfboards but with the same features of flex).This choice to offer the top in lightness, strength and reactivity.  We do not use EPS-epoxy construction (offered by many brands that produce in China, Thailand, Vietnam) because the final boards wuould be more rigid giving a worse feeling surfing the waves. Kitesurf conditions are never glassy and windless but mainly windy and choppy. Our boards are sold with removable fins FCS or FUTURE systems.Regarding the FCS system, we use Scarfini plugs and fins 100 % compatible but much more resistant. This allow us to use it in the kiteboards without having breaking problems. The FUTURE system offers a better insertion of the fins in the board and this iswhy it is spreading well.

The final aspect of the boards can be transparent, painted-transparent, painted(custom effect, matt, polished) with any kind of artworks. CUSTOM first of all!
