The construction of the new Balance boards will be something new in the kiteboarding industry.
For 2009 they will have the newest aero-space composites and materials.
With this technology, Balance will achieve greater flex-weight-durability ratio than last year model.
So we can expect better performance from the boards.
The materials used in our upcoming line will consist among others of :
Tri and Cuatri-axial fiberglass (the most durable f-glass available in the market)
carbon flex control from tip to tip to reach an accurate and responsive flex trim
honeycomb combined with durable wood core that is placed in the center of the board giving it that lively and nice feel along the whole board length, plus extra durability.
TITANAL, a new material, never used in the kiteboard industry (lighter than Titanium)
The 2009 Balance boards are almost hitting the market.
The new models will be available in 4 sizes: Diamond 130×38,5 - recommended for lighter riders and girls (40 to 65 kgs) Code 133×39 - For riders with weight between 65 and 80 kgs Onieva Signature 135×39,5 - The version for heavier riders(70 to 90kgs) and wider stance (40-44-48cms) recommended for lighter riders and girls (40 to 65 kgs) PetrTyushkevich Signature 137×40 : This model will have wider stances (42-46-50cm) and will be perfect for the hardcore frestylers.
Once again Balance boards will be technologically advanced.
Soon we will bring you more details about the boards construction.

The details on the final Wainman Hawaii twin tip boards are done… The Blunt
Construction and graphics on the Blunts are unreal. Nothing out there quite like this in terms of the construction. Super LIGHT!
Wainman Hawaii has released its new twin-tip dubbed “The Blunt”.
Like the kites, this board is breaking some rules of convention. It is super thin all the way through, and incredibly light weight. Yet very strong. The concave is not shaved out of the bottom of the board. Strength is added by having a concave run from edge to edge. And the entire plank is formed to the concave, so the deck is slightly domed.
Around the entire working edge, the hard plastic ABS used by most brands is replaced by a softer rubberized bumber.
