SIGNATURE<\/strong><\/p>\n

The SIGNATURE boards are designed for pure surfing with a shape that comes out of a long evolution of our kite surfboards.\"\"<\/p>\n

With the CAMEL DRIVE DECK shape, the volume has been maximized in the middle sections of the boards before fading out towards the tail to keep the rear foot as low as possible for better control. The HEEL SHOCK ABSORBER featured on deck makes sure all impacts feel softer for the rider to achieve a smoother ride and increases the board durability. The rail is thick and rounded towards the nose to make the board more forgiving with more stability and support from the front sections.<\/p>\n

The new bottom shape features a single concave on the front half of the board, evolving further aft into a straight V shape at the fins. The concave provides a smoother ride and a better balance while the V tail ensures the board remains super responsive. Switching from one rail to the other is quick and simple as the board enters the turns with ease, gaining also in maneuverability thanks to its round pin tail.<\/p>\n

2016 sees the introduction of a new 5\u20198\u2019\u2019 to complement the 5\u201910\u2019\u2019 which share the same shape and feel on the water. Benefitting from more volume and length, the 5\u201910\u2019\u2019 will fit the larger riders or the larger waves. Being slightly shorter, the 5\u20198\u2019\u2019 will let you carve the most radical turns and rollers with a more compact board under your feet.<\/p>\n

Compact, stable and responsive the SIGNATURE boards are made for surfing in any kind of waves or conditions, benefiting from their well balanced and really intuitive shape. These boards are able to carve short turns as well as long and fast curves effortlessly. Surfing becomes such a pleasure when you can focus on the waves and not on how to get your board moving. Just look ahead, these boards will follow!<\/p>\n

For strapless riding the SIGNATURE complements the Mitu MONTEIRO range for those looking for a narrower board or for the typical stormy European conditions with a steep chop. The pad extends a long way forward specifically for riding strapless with a wider stance. The SIGNATURE boards are equipped with a quattro fin setup for maximum pivoting ability and a perfect grip even when carving aggressively.<\/p>\n
