Description

Design details

Our shaper: Guillaume, training engineer and kitesurfer since 1998
This board has been designed taking into account the basic needs of a versatile surf kite board. It is easy to ride: from beginners boarding for the first time in light winds to intermediates wanting to do tricks in nice wave conditions. The overall shape of the board gives you powerful carving and stable bottom turns. More experienced riders will be able to take advantage of its ability to carve turns.
A few words from the shaper: THE SHAPE EXPLAINED
The design of the hull and the rocker have been specially optimised to give a fast planing start and to avoid nose dives. The bevel rails at the front have been designed to keep the board stable, even on choppy water. The balanced noseless shape keeps the board in place under the feet in the air, especially when used strapless, for easy learning and fast progression to jumping.
A few words from the shaper: CONSTRUCTION & SET-UP
Great care has been focused on the construction to make the board durable, with wood and fibreglass sandwich reinforcements, specifically placed in the foot landing zones for jumps. To accompany you as you progress you can boost the board with composite fins. We chose a strapless set-up to help with quick and fun learning of surf kiteboarding, but straps can be added.

WHO IS IT FOR?
The size and volume of the ORAO 500 SURF KITE also make it a great toy for light wind! You can explore lower wind ranges that would be out of your reach on a standard-sized twin tip. The 500 surf kite is also suitable for riders of all weights with its 27.8-litre volume.
A board for starting out? It's more than that!
The ORAO 500 kitesurfing board falls in the mid-high volume range for boards and its rails and thickness make it very stable. A board with plenty of volume allows riders of all levels to use it in light wind. A stable board that allows beginners to learn to surf with comfort and ease. A large, stable board that allows advanced riders to make more aggressive turns with a small fin when surfing.
Design
Each board is unique as we've used a "brushed" effect over the green colouring with a grey, hand-painted undercoat which makes for non-repeating patterns. This effect is found on some custom-made boards.
