CrazyFly - Raptor Pro 2011

CrazyFly Raptor Pro 2011 132x41cm and 137cmx41 The Raptor Pro is a living legend. Best selling board for freeride and freestyle with astonishing performance. In the long history of this board we have never met anyone who would not like the board. The thing that makes Raptor Pro so special is that every rider can find their own reason why they like this board so much. It offers a wide scale of usage for many different riding styles and delivers a very high performance in all of its aspects.

Brand new technology called Crazy Flex Tips developed by CrazyFly is integrated in Raptor Pro. New technologies in composite materials allowed us to produce ultra thin tips which are extremely flexible and very strong. Crazy Flex Tips make the kiteboard very comfortable and extremely responsive. They generate much more pop and provide the softest possible landings. You can really load up this board and it really pop you up in the air. We believe this technology makes kiteboarding even more fun than it ever was. Crazy Flex Tips pushed Kiteboarding to a new level.

Raptor Pro is produced with full carbon construction, precisely shaped CNC wood core and 3D ABS rails. Full carbon construction provides much more pop, and makes the board very responsive as well as it brings down the weight and increases strength of Raptor Pro.

This board is suitable for high performance freeride, but if you step on the gas pedal, Raptor Pro has enough power for freestyle tricks. Raptor Pro is aimed at intermediate, advanced and Pro riders who are looking for a high performance freeride board, powered carving and a lot of pop for jumps. Even though this board is designed more for freeride, it will not let you down by any means, if you push it harder to perform freestyle tricks.

Raptor Pro features an elegant carbon fiber look, 3D metallic colors and comes with EVA pro footpads, Quick Fix II footstraps , handle and G10 fins.

What CrazyFly team rider Grom Gormley has got to say about his board:

"Any company can make a board, but CrazyFly's Raptor blows them all out of the water.  One ride and you'll agree.  Intended to push intermediate riders and make freestyle wizards.  The Raptor blends a stiffer freestyle board with a softer snowboard feel.  Perfect for load and pops while remaining soft for smoother landings on those all important boosts.  Durability is everything in this sport and this board delivers years of exciting adventures.  Start yours today."

Freeride and Freestyle:
The rider can enjoy smooth freeride, but if the board is pushed harder, you can have a freestyle session.

Full Carbon Construction:
Based on our ten years of experience in building high quality kiteboards with top performance, we simply believe that carbon fibers are irreplaceable. Carbon fiber is ultra light and at the same time extremely strong. This material is very dynamic and it returns instantly to its original shape after being stressed, which provides loads of pop for carbon fiber kiteboards. Not only carbon fiber has the same initials “CF” as our brand, but its ratio of high strength, low weight and quick dynamics makes it the most suitable material for a high performance kiteboard. These are the reasons why carbon fiber is used in CrazyFly kiteboards, which are expected to be light, very responsive and have a lot of pop.

Crazyfly Tips:
Brand new concept of ultra thin tips on twin tip kiteboards developed by CrazyFly. New technologies in the fast developing composite industry enabled us to build extremely thin tips with amazing flex and strength. At first, you may think they are so thin that they will break after the first landing, but they hold. Crazy Flex tips are so flexible it is almost impossible to break them during riding. Crazy Flex tips technology is something you have never experienced before. It delivers a very unique performance on water. Crazy Flex tips make the kiteboard very comfortable and extremely responsive. They generate much more pop and provide the softest possible landings. We believe this technology makes kiteboarding even more fun than it ever was.

Nano Fiber Carbon Technology:
Years ago we decided to use carbon fabric as a main part of the construction of CrazyFly kiteboards. Today we see it was a right decision.
Carbon fiber comes as a high strength, high stiffness and very light synthetic fiber. Carbon fiber composites are ten times stronger than steel, and still five times lighter. Carbon fibers have amazing structural properties. You can find them on the best products humans had ever produced: in construction of Formula 1, in aerospace technology, military secret programs, and the best sport racing equipment. The result of our tight intensive research and tests with developments from the carbon industry is Nano Fiber Carbon Technology exclusively used in production process of CrazyFly kiteboards. What makes this system so unique is the higher tensile modulus and faster dynamic response. It makes the flex of our boards very attractive and the pop amazing.

Tip to Tip Wood Core:
Tip To Tip wood core has no joints, maintains wood's natural flex properties, and is incredibly light. The rider can enjoy a light board with excellent flex and pop properties.

3D ABS Rails:
We decided to use ABS side walls construction as the best one in this industry. ABS is a high strength, very durable thermo-plastic material. The adherent bonding with upper and lower reinforcement carbon materials creates a torsion box, with high torsional stiffness. CNC shaped and hand fine finished rails you can be found on all of our boards. Bright colors help you to find your board in the water.

Concave bottom and 3D ABS rails make carving and switching between carves smooth and easy.

Concave Wood:
Concave bottom and 3D ABS rails make carving and switching between carves smooth and easy.
We simply believe in the concave bottom shape. This is one of the main characteristic features on our boards. The board is stable in carves, easy to switch, and marvelously smooth to control. It Works ingenious during landing and helps you to come out of all possible troubles.

Tail Outline Shape:
After years of testing, CrazyFly's designers decided to use the new tail outline on the boards. This new feature allows the rider to load up an edge when performing jumps, leading to more hang (air) time and better tricks.

G10 Kiteboard Fins:
We use G10 fins with a very thin profile in order to prevent drag. G10 fins are durable and hard to break. G10 material is the best solution in the industry.

G10 is a legend. You can not find something better in fins production. Excellent strength, stiffnes and durability. The profile of our fins is still radically thin with minimum hydrodynamic resistance. 2010 line of fins is characterized by nice colors – it helps you to catch sight your board when it is lost.
