Highlights of the DOOR in detail
What´s new?
As part of our Eco project, we conducted intensive research into raw materials, composite materials and production processes together with Augsburg University of Applied Sciences. The findings of the project enabled us to take the High Tech Line to a whole new level.
The classic plastic edges have been replaced with Bamboo Rails. Our highly technical bio-epoxy resin is also applied. In combination with an optimized wood core, we were able to further reduce the weight of the boards.
Our DOOR and MONSTER DOOR remain true to their classic construction - with a wood core, fibreglass laminate, bottom and deck sheet - and yet play in a completely different league. They undercut the weight of many significantly smaller freeride kiteboards from other brands. The High Tech Line from SPLEENE shows what real performance at a fair price looks like.
The outline of the DOOR and MONSTER DOOR prevents annoying spray on your face. The Advanced Jet Bottom in the lower section ensures the best grip and smooth landings with perfect guidance. In combination with a harmonious bending curve and crisp flex, the result is the light wind weapon par excellence - with which you can also conjure up fat freestyle tricks!
Ultra Lightwind Kiteboard
The DOOR and MONSTER DOOR are the lightwind kiteboards par excellence. Thanks to the low weight and the harmonious balance between the rocker curve, flex, outline and bottom shape, you can start gliding even in the slightest breeze. The concave outline lets you gain height like no other. The DOOR and MONSTER DOOR are of course fully controllable even when the wind picks up.
You are a kite beginner? The DOOR (from 85 kg the MONSTER DOOR) is also a perfect kiteboard for you. Thanks to its large gliding surface it forgives mistakes in kite control and you glide - easy and uncomplicated. Finally you arrive back where you started. No "Walk of Shame." As your kite skills progress, the DOOR is the perfect kiteboard for lightwind days. It doesn't get any better than this!
Another tip: You belong to the species of "homo giganteus"? Then the SPLEENE DOOR or MONSTER DOOR is your answer. Why torture yourself with kiteboards that are much too small for your body weight? Grab a DOOR or MONSTER DOOR and have fun on the water.
Superlight
Three years of intensive research have paid off in the new High Tech Line kiteboards. We have been able to further reduce the weight of the DOOR and MONSTER DOOR. The DOOR weighs just 3.1 kg. This is a milestone for a kiteboard measuring 159 x 45 cm and manufactured using the classic hot press process.
The superlight weight will put a big smile on your face. Everything is literally ‘easier’ at once – gliding over the water, jumping and even board-offs are possible. The High Tech Line is once again setting new standards. And you can feel it immediately.
Planing star
No other twintip has similar light wind characteristics as the SPLEENE DOOR or even the MONSTER DOOR. Thanks to the large planing surface and its perfect tuning, you can go out on the water when there is still no white caps to be seen. Even gusty winds with large wind holes are no longer a problem. You simply glide through. And the kiteboard feels absolutely playful thanks to its low weight.
The DOOR and the MONSTER DOOR are absolute wonders for upwind riding. The concave outline, the large surface area and the flat bending curve make this possible. Upwind flying is essential on lightwind days. Because you'll want to jump sometimes and you'll lose height quickly.
Thanks to the ingenious overall design, you have full control of the kiteboard even when the wind picks up. The heart of the DOOR and MONSTER DOOR is the 3D milled wood core, embedded in the Spider Frame 3D deck.
Excellent jumping
You think the DOOR is a nice light wind kiteboard. But just riding back and forth is boring. Far from it! With the DOOR or MONSTER DOOR, you can jump effortlessly.
Thanks to its construction with a wooden core, both kiteboards have a crisp pop. With the stretched outline, you can push maximum edge into the water. This allows the DOOR and MONSTER DOOR to be loaded up properly to shoot you powerfully into the airspace of your home spot. With the Advanced Jet Bottom, both kiteboards release easily from the water and set you back down gently.
High comfort
Comfort is one of the most important features of our High Tech Line. Thanks to the flex of the Spider Frame 3D deck as well as the Advanced Jet Bottom, impacts are effectively absorbed and allow you to ride smoothly even in choppy water.
The 3D milled wood core provides a very smooth ride and natural damping. Even during long sessions your knees and joints are protected. Choppy water has never been an issue with SPLEENE kiteboards. We simply know how to design the outline of a kiteboard to completely eliminate the annoying splash water.
What´s the technology behind the SPLEENE High Tech SESSION?
SPLEENE Kiteboarding is a pioneer in the industry and has driven the development of kiteboards as we know them today. 25 years of board know how have gone into this 11th generation of the High Tech Line.
Spider Frame 3D Deck
Often imitated, never equalled – the SPLEENE Spider Frame 3D Deck with its 3D milled wood core at the heart of the kiteboard!
The fine art of kiteboard development lies in providing sufficient material thickness in areas prone to breakage while deliberately making certain areas thinner and therefore more flexible. The overall goal is to achieve the lowest possible total weight for the kiteboard.
The Spider Frame 3D Deck provides the basis for this and gives the kiteboard maximum torsional stiffness – without compromise! The thinner edges create perfect flex. Areas where low forces occur are radically designed for minimum weight.
Advanced Jet Bottom
The bottom shape is characterized by a channel with double concaves. This allows the kiteboard to glide significantly earlier and more freely than conventional bottoms. Instead of a simple radius, the SPLEENE Advanced Jet Bottom uses a parabolic shape.
With our Advanced Jet Bottom you have significantly more grip, the water is pushed along the edges. In choppy conditions, the effect is particularly noticeable. Like a racing boat, the water surface is broken up by the sophisticated bottom shape. Your jumps end in buttery soft landings.
Bamboo Beveled Rails
We use bamboo instead of conventional plastic edging. Bamboo is not only extremely robust and durable, it is also extremely light and completely ecological. This means that an important feature of our Eco Line is now also available in the High Tech Line.
The bevel effect: a small detail with a big impact. The slight lift on the side of the kiteboard increases comfort enormously. Even in rough conditions, you can kite effortlessly without clogging or splashing water on your face.
3D Wood Core
All SPLEENE kiteboards are produced with a form glued, 3D CNC milled wood core. Thanks to the superior damping properties of wood, the SPLEENE kiteboards have a very high ride comfort, give maximum feedback and will give you great pleasure for years.
The 3D milled wood core is the heart of the Spider Frame 3D deck and determines the structure and character of the kiteboard.
Highly technical bio-epoxy resin
We have discovered a real game changer in our eco project with the bio-epoxy resin. It is characterized by a significant "bio" content of 28% in the resin/hardener system. The production of the High Tech Line is more sustainable and environmentally friendly.
The proportion of renewable raw materials gives the epoxy resin outstanding performance values. It can be processed precisely and forms a perfect symbiosis with the raw materials wood and glass fiber.
UV-safe Graphics
The specially developed top sheet of the kiteboard is provided with UV protection. Even many hours in the blazing sun do not harm the kiteboard. The colors shine even after years as on the first day.
Straps, Pads and Fins
The SPLEENE straps, pads and fins are perfectly matched to our kiteboards. The pads are anatomically adapted to the foot and provide extra good support by a toe edge. Get on and feel good!
For the straps we offer the Standard Straps with velcro and the Pro Straps with ratchets, even in two sizes. All straps allow different mounting positions and can be adjusted individually.
The SPLEENE Kiteboarding fins are made of extra hard G10 material, for best performance.
Made in Europa
Our high-tech line boards are manufactured in Europe using a hot-pressing process. Maximum precision and decades of experience in handling the raw materials make the extreme performance and weight values possible.
