Airush kiteboarding 2008 The 2008 season contains a whole range of exiting products. Espesially the Vapor and the Generator is worth checking out. Following lists the complet range of kites and kiteboards from Airush 
THE NEW BENCHMARK The Vapor maintains the steering advantages of a high performance C-Kite while adding a new level of extended wind range and depower traditionally only found in bridled kites. The Flat 5 configuration features a super-functional 5-line design, which preserves simplicity without compromising performance. Rapid Response, increased wind range flat 5. Size: 5,7, 10, 12, 14, 16 |  | 
NO HYPE, NO BULLSHIT, NO GIMMICKS. The Generator was developed to be supremely functional with the highest performance possible. Through ongoing demand from our pro team, we have continued to refine this dedicated C-kite. The characteristics that define the Generator are its immediate, yet smooth power delivery and lightning fast yet predictable turning, making it perfect for wave riding and performance freestyle. As a testament to the design, many of our pro team won’t ride anything else; the Generator is the most refined C-Kite ever. Size: 5.5, 7.5, 9.5, 11.5, 15, 18 |  | 
MORE BOW VERSATILITY & C-KITE FUNCTIONALITY The Flow combines the incredible wind range and sheeting ability of a BOW kite with the direct steering and bar simplicity of a C-Kite. This makes the Flow excellent for all levels of riding, from dedicated wave riding to freeride & freestyle. For 2008 we reduced the bar pressure and increased the steering speed and response, using a slightly finer foil entry and angle of attack on the larger sizes. This translates into improved upwind ability and speed across the window. Size: 5, 7, 10, 12, 14, 16 |  | 
INNOVATION IN SIMPLICITY The key to the DNA performance is its hybrid design which offers optimized relaunch, depower, and safety characteristics. The real innovation, however, is the absolute simplicity and unbelievable performance that makes the DNA perfect for either the first time buyer or the advanced rider looking for ultimate ease-of-use. For 2008, bar pressure has been reduced on the bigger sizes while maintaining the focus on stability and ease of use. The new strap-adjust control bar ensures easier trim for less experienced riders. Size: 2, 4, 6, 9, 12 |  | 
DEDICATED SURF PERFORMANCE (KITE OPTIONAL) Airush introduced the first true convertible in 2006, this revelation in versatility has changed the way many riders view wave riding. Smaller kites, bigger boards, strapped, strapless with dedicated surf performance for no wind situations. The 2008 Converse continues to redefine wave riding. The higher volume translates into an ability to run a smaller kite, which means you can ride more vertically, with more snap than imaginable a few years ago. The kite specific construction offers significantly reinforced areas around the footstrap, top deck and fin areas to deal with the increased speed and abuse when kiting without hindering the surf ability. Included in the line for this year is a 5’6” Kite specific model, for lightweight riders and dedicated high wind wave riding.

EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE A PRODUCT COMES ALONG
THAT CHANGES THE WAY YOU RIDE The Choptop combines the wave abilities of a surfboard with the throw around factor of a skimboard or wakeskate. Unique to the Choptop the innovative deck shape and “over the board” rider geometry, makes advanced strapless riding more accessible than ever before, with grab rails adding a few more possibilities to your trick book. The strapped configuration is ideal for more challenging conditions such as onshore/windy wave riding or for dedicated strapped riders. A unique surf rail and thruster fin configuration enables powerful bottom turns, with hard tucked edge, wide tail and flat rocker entry for increased light wind performance. The Choptop turns everything from light wind to onshore slop into the ultimate fun park. Size: Model Length Width Fin Choptop 164 cm 47.5 cm FCS G1000 |  | 
MIXING FREESTYLE WITH WAVE RIDING (AND EVERYTHING
BETWEEN) The Hammer was developed from a traditional twintip with the goal of radically enhancing wave riding capabilities without losing ease-of-use. While originally conceived to be a dedicated wave riding twin tip, the Hammer also proved to be a huge stand out in very choppy conditions. The secret to the Hammer's performance lies in the combination of a tucked-under surf rail, Spiral V bottom, and a unique outline that offers more stability on bottom turns and more snap off the top. The same features give the Hammer a supremely soft ride in chop Size: Model Length Width Fin Hammer 138 138 cm 38.5 cm Airush Code Hammer 144 144 cm 42 cm Airush Code |  |

Our most advanced range features Spinal Core II and Custom X that includes an all-new smaller size Exile/Protoy for 2008 which combines the awesome light wind performance of the Exile with the all-round performance of the Protoy.

This breakthrough in performance and durability redefined what customers expected from a freeride board. Ongoing development in the shape, construction, and components ensure a lighter, more comfortable ride than ever before.

ELEMENTARY PERFORMANCE The Ride was developed specifically for entry-level kiters with the understanding that you need a board that you will not outgrow after three days. The Ride is wide enough to offer maximum stability and ease-of-use but performance-oriented enough to be a great light wind machine for more advanced kiters. The Ride features the same premium accessories, construction, and components as our high end Freeride lines, so the only shortcut will be in your learning curve.
