Entry-Level to Intermediate Freeride Twin-Tip
The Ultimate First Kitesurfing Board for Fast Progression
Built for riders stepping into the sport or pushing through the early stages of independent riding, the Element delivers a smooth blend of comfort, control and forgiving performance. Build confidence, master the basics and new manoeuvres — with lasting performance for years of progression.
How the Element Solves Beginner Challenges
- Effortless Upwind Tracking: The moderate-to-low rocker line ensures early planing and easy upwind tracking — less time walking back up the beach, more time riding.
- Smooth Control Through Chop: A forgiving, medium-soft Paulownia wood core absorbs heavy chop and vibrations, keeping your ride stable and saving your knees from fatigue.
- No More Face Spray: The refined tip shape and optimised outline dramatically reduce water spray, so you can focus on kite control, stay relaxed and ride longer.
- Stability When You Need It: A double concave bottom shape enhances stability and grip, making messy or rough water conditions feel smooth and predictable.
From your first solid water starts to linking smooth turns, mastering transitions and sending your first jumps — the balanced, predictable feel underfoot will help you progress naturally into a confident and capable intermediate rider.
Key Technical Features
- A-Grade Paulownia Core: Premium wood core for ultimate flex characteristics, amazing strength and reduced weight.
- Bio-Based Epoxy Resin: 35% of the resin's molecular structure is derived from plant origin.
- Factory-Owned Quality Assurance: Produced in Ozone's own specialised facility with hand-checked quality control and premium materials at every step.
