DESCRIPTION
STRAP IN AND HOLD ON!

Designed, tested and developed by Ralf Bachschuster, one of the most influential and radical kiteboarders in the South African kite scene, these phenomenal sticks are very fast, securely grip the water and deliver an abundance of hold in the most extreme conditions. The Y27 version of this power house it’s a well-rounded “does it all” high-end performance board. Easy to ride and comfortable both in light or strong winds. Developed in Cape Town, the Barracudas are not only fast boards that were born to handle full power but can now be revered as the one and only board you need in your quiver!
Available in two constructions PRO and LTE.

FEATURES
Slightly wider outline towards the nose with a round pin winger tail to increase control and comfort while allowing great turning potential with plenty grip.
Full mono-concave hull with heaps of rocker on the tail. Planing fast and holding control on choppy waters.
Thicker volume mid-section in between your feet to allow floatation and keeping momentum at lower speed.
Thin rail profile on nose and tail to allow the best grip at high speed and lower the volume to keep the weight down.
PIN WINGER TAIL
If you’re looking for the best possible traction and control when surfing, your choice will be a pin tail. This type of tail has the narrowest width of all your basic surfboard tail shapes. Because the tail’s surface area is small, this allows the tail of the board to grab hold of the water, and maintain direction by tracking.
The pin tail shape is like an arrowhead, with two curved lines coming to a point. This design will give you good water flow over the tail of the board, allowing the tail to hold better, and avoiding any abrupt release that could knock you off your board.
LTE TECHNOLOGY
LIGHT, STRONG and DURABLE
The new LTE technology looks like simple but is one of the most sophisticated and innovative method of construction, it comes straight from the ultimate molded surfboards technology like the PRO technology. Consisting of a high definition EPS core, made with a EPS injection on a pre shaped mold, which is then injected with 36 Kgs/m3 density beads. This phenomenal core is so strong that you could ride it on the water without any lamination on it! The Full Glass and wood layup makes the board super flexible to ride and really strong to impacts.
The painted matt finish provide resistance to ultraviolet degradation and an easy to repair surface.
