Best Kahoona 2010

Just seen the latest pictures of the new Kahoona from Best , it again looks like a delta shaped kite, so giving that great low end grunt. There appears to be no center strut, giving the kite a nice light feel whilst in the air. The wing tips look like they may well of been beefed up. And if the colours are anything to go by it makes me wonder if all kites will be white, with just different colored graphic's.

New Website

You will probably have noticed that our website has changed a bit.

We have been continually looking at ways of improving our site since the original one launched several years ago now, and we hope that is one will offer improved speed easy of use.

We have completely re written our stock control system so you will now be able to see exactly what we have in stock online.

The customer side of the site has also been improved with a faster checkout and more payment options.

I spent today trawling over mysql and looking at a ftp screen, most of the site is live, just the weather to hook up now.

Oh and make sure you sign up to the newsletter, we will be sending out some discount loving in the near future!

Anyway I hope that you like the site,

Board-worx.com

PS if you had an old account with us you will need to sign up for a new one due to "technical issues"

Nobile Pro Pads


Now Advalible as a upgrade on New 555 and 666's are the Pro Pads.

Now in Pro Straps:
The IFS Pro foot bed is the world's rst triple density, moulded pad. With each layer becoming progressively harder, the shock absorbing qualities of the pad "ramp up" through it's depth, preventing any possibility of your foot hitting the board, whilst still delivering a rm surface that gives
a direct feeling of the board when riding.

Comfort without function isn´t enough however, especially if your foot slips out on the rst landing. The ergonomically formed IFS PRO features an in-board cant leading from the heel down to the toe, ensuring that upon impact, your foot moves more securely into the strap, and not dangerously out of it. On the front edge, our multi-ridged toe strip helps with grip, whatever your foot size, and the moulded Polyurethane texture under the heels provides traction in all conditions. Inside the footstrap, a new hot press formed, EVA pad ensures our exact shaping specications are
met in every unit. Integrated inserts inside the foot bed means that there is no exposed webbing or hard materials to rub on your foot - what ever size it's set to. Vertical adjustment on the strap is retained from the original IFS system to ensure the perfect t for all feet however, adjustment is now
taken care of with a new non-stretch, buckle xing system, which allows micro adjustment with vastly increased ease of use over a Velcro based system.

Finally, the IFS PRO has been built with the environment in mind, shown in its adhesive free construction and 100% recyclable packaging.

The IFS Pro guarantees that every ride is a pleasure with unparalleled levels of comfort and function.

Just select the Pro option below if you want the Pro edition pads and straps.

Slingshot RPM 1st views and pics

First impressions of the New Slingshot RPM, is it is looking like it is going to sit pretty squarely between the Rev and the Fuel, the leading edge is still fairly large like the Fuel giving the kite a good solid feel, the struts are very thin, (unlike the Fuel). This makes a joy with the one pump system as it is inflated in next to no time. The leading edge has lost all it's 5 rows of stitching, and has been blessed with what looks like some Kevlar reinforcements all the way along the leading edge. The bridle is one I have never seen before, and looks different but supported the leading edge and tips well. There has been lots of techie stuff written about different settings so I wont go on. The wing tips are large so I guess this baby is going to turn very fast, maybe more from the wing tip than from the center of the kite, so for all those powered up kite loopers will love it, if you don't want to get spanked by the fuel, as the RPM will clearly have more depower than the Fuel. The materials still feel great, typical slingshot quality materials, now I just can't wait for the wind to blow!







Features:
  • Progressive ‘Delta’ shaped canopy: This provides great low end and makes the kite super stable in higher winds. The Delta canopy ensures easy re-launch [even for the novice rider], inflight stability, massive vertical boost, unsurpassed wind range & depower and superb up-wind ability
  • One pump: Slingshot’s leading industry standard in single point inflation
  • Compact bridle: provides in flight stability and eliminates the risk of tangle
  • Tailpipe bridle belts: prevents lines from snagging
  • Mark clothing reinforced trailing edge: reduces flutter and increases durability
  • Ergonomic nipple placement: ensures less overall drag
  • Slingshot legendary construction: bomber quality
  • Lifetime rider hotline membership

Not only are these boards super strong they look sick! Check out the pictures below. Now instock in our store.

The bomb proof wave board, looks absolutly fantastic too and since bamboo grows at an alarming rate its eco friendly aswell. This is a great shape and size for a british waves. Perfect for making that sharp snappy turn. The board is equipped with super soft straps and pads and has the vector II fins. Bamboo is far denser than oak and has better elasticity properties, this makes the board super super strong. 172x45cm
