Highlights of the SESSION 45 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. With the findings of the project, we were able 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 SESSION remains true to its classic construction - with a wood core, fibreglass laminate, bottom and deck sheet - and yet plays in a completely different league. It even undercuts the weight of many premium carbon kiteboards from other brands. The High Tech Line from SPLEENE shows what real performance at a fair price looks like.
The new SESSION is still designed to be sportier. The width of 44 cm makes it very agile. A firmer construction provides more pop and a direct feel. In combination with the reduced weight, a real light wind and freeride weapon has been created. The Advanced Jet Bottom in the bottom also ensures the best grip and smooth landings with perfect control.
Lightwind Freeride Kiteboard
The SESSION is the light wind freeride kiteboard from SPLEENE. Thanks to its low weight and the harmonious balance between the rocker curve, flex, outline and bottom shape, you can glide even in very light winds. With its sporty design, you have full control at all times, even when the wind picks up. Choppy water? No problem with the SESSION!
The SESSION is the perfect mix of light wind and freeride. For heavy kiters (> 100 kg) it is THE freeride board. Light kiters have the light wind weapon under their feet with the SESSION. For kite beginners, it guarantees a steep learning curve. Or you can't decide whether to RIP or DOOR? Then the SESSION is your perfect all-in-one kiteboard.
Superlight
3 years of intensive research have paid off in full on the new High Tech Line kiteboards. We have been able to further reduce the weight of the SESSION. The SESSION 45 weighs just 2.8 kg. A milestone for a kiteboard measuring 145 x 44 cm and manufactured using the classic hot-pressing process.
The super-light weight will put a big grin on your face. Everything is literally “lighter” all of a sudden - gliding over the water, jumping and board-offs anyway. The High Tech Line once again sets new standards. And you can feel it immediately.
Effortless upwind riding
The SESSION really comes into its own in the lower and medium wind ranges. It gets you planing extremely early, you simply ride through wind holes and it feels super agile at the same time.
With its slight concaves in the center of the kiteboard, it pulls height fantastically well. The concaves are not as extreme as on the DOOR, so that the freeride characteristics come close to those of the RIP. The fin arrangement is the same as on the RIP, i.e. all four fins are positioned on the edge of the board. You can easily switch or land your freestyle tricks.
The ingenious overall design gives you full control of the kiteboard at all times. The heart of the SESSION is the 3D milled wood core, embedded in the Spider Frame 3D deck.
Excellent jumping
What makes kiting fun even in light winds? Of course - you want to take off and fly! Thanks to the sporty design, we were able to significantly improve the jumping characteristics of the SESSION. With its tight set-up, it has a clean pop.
The aggressive outline gives you plenty of edge pressure. This allows the SESSION to load up properly to shoot you powerfully into the airspace of your home spot. With the Advanced Jet Bottom, the SESSION releases easily from the water and sets 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 Europe
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.
