Snowboard construction with ABS rail: Strong and light with a thin rail that helps you hold down the power and slice upwind at insane angles.
CNC machined graded Poplar wood core: We mill out every spare gram to keep weight at a minimum without sacrificing any strength.
Controlled flex zones:3D shaping in the tip and tails helps push the flex out into the tips, where you need it for soft landings from any height.
Marinized deck inserts: Heavy duty brass inserts are corrosion resistant and tough enough to allow you to swap your straps and pads as often as you wish.
Multi-axis fibreglass construction:Bi-axial and unidirectional reinforced glass fibre allows us to place strength and flex damping precisely to control the flex over the entire board. The Exceptional ‘pop’ delivered by the Ouija is a product of our exacting construction.
Offset insert position: Strap inserts are offset towards the heel edge to allow you to rail the board in heavy chop and the strongest winds.
Abrasion resistant top and bottom sheets:HDPE top and bottom sheets resist abrasion and beach rash.
CMKY screened print:A top spec board deserves the finest graphics available. The Ouija receives a luscious four colour silk screen print that is as deep and as glossy as any custom auto spray job.
 

Riders requested a front line safety/landing option, so we’ve added that into the mix. You can now land or flag your kite simply by grabbing any of four flying line handles. The depower strap and swivel arrangement now has the swivel positioned under the depower strap for easier un-spinning and to ensure that the new front line self-landing handles are always in the perfect position for deployment.

For riders who prefer to ride with shorter lines, we’ve introduced a new split line set comprised of 22m lines with 3m extensions, so you can choose between a combined 25m length for general riding or shorten down to 22m for hardcore wave riding and freestyle action. Every rider will benefit from the 700lb Spectra flying lines, they will turn your kite faster and tighter and help you jump better than ever before.

An entirely new carbon bar molding allows us to create a lighter and stronger bar than previously possible. The seamless construction means we have been able to increase the size of the centre bush. Gently radiused and mirror polished, this new centre hole arrangement gives reduced drag when sheeting in and out for improved steering control.

The reinforced carbon centre of the bar mates perfectly with our Stiffy Disc, holding the chickenloop in place whenever you unhook.

New ‘colour-handed’ EVA bar grips with raised ‘finger form’ provides comfort whatever the riding conditions, ensuring you remain in control at all times. For riders who simply have to ride unhooked and can’t stop throwing F-16s on their Waroo and Nemesis HP kites we have added integral EVA bar end bumpers to protect your fingers and keep you riding harder for longer.
