Crazyfly Elite III

CrazyFly is redefining what it takes to make the ultimate kiteboard. Blending together the most advanced technologies and materials while focusing on the best possible performance, we created the third version of the Elite board. With 30 percent higher breaking strength and 180 grams less weight than the first Elite, the Elite III is the best one yet by far. The Elite III displays the sensuality of high-end performance and possesses the elegance of pure, uncompromising design. It is a masterpiece of extreme lightweight engineering and demonstrates the outstanding expertise of CrazyFly in all areas of carbon fiber technology.

The Elite III is more than a board: it’s a status. To complement its superiority, the Elite III board comes in a boardbag with pads and straps mounted, ready to hit the water. The Elite III premium package hides multiple surprise items.
Performance wise, the Elite III was designed as a high end freeride board. As with every carbon board, the Elite III has quite a lot of pop and dynamics, so the load’n’pop will not disappoint. Unlike other carbon boards, we believe the Elite III is the most flexible carbon board out there. It definitely is comfortable to ride. Due to its extremely light weight, it is very simple to maneuver and thanks to the double concave bottom shape, it handles chop extremely well and cuts upwind with ease.
Brand new layup features two layers of carbon on the top and two on the bottom. One layer is the CompFlex 4T5 carbon with 45-degree angled fibers for optimal torsion flex, which makes the board stiffer in heel to toe direction. This is topped with a brand new HMX-CF2 carbon which gives the board strength along the length of the board. The HMX-CF2 carbon is the thinnest, lightest and highest tensile strength carbon material. Thanks to its properties it provides a very comfortable medium flex.

With a redesigned Air Inside Core technology, we were able to save another 180 grams compared to the first Elite. This makes the Elite III the lightest board in the world.

Tech Features:

HMX-CF2 – Nano Technology Carbon Fibers

• HMX-CF2 carbon is the most advanced carbon fiber technology. The combination of Nano-technology, carbon nanotube reinforced resin and T1000G carbon fiber create the world’s highest tensile strength fiber. Supplied as a prepreg, this carbon always has the perfect ratio of resin spread evenly and creates the best possible molecular bonding. The cohesion between the fibers is improved and allows for incredible strength even at off-axis fiber directions. Expert utilization of the HMX-CF carbon results in an extremely lightweight board with uncompromised power transfer and dynamics.

CompFlex 4T5 carbon – More flex without adding weight

• Elite III layup features two layers of carbon on the top and two on the bottom of the board. One layer is the CompFlex 4T5 carbon with 45 degree angled fibers for optimal torsion flex, which makes the board stiffer in heel to toe direction, but softer along the length of the board. CompFlex 4T5 makes the Elite III more dynamic and responsive, and at the same time created a more comfortable flex. The CompFlex 4T5 is topped with a brand news HMX-CF2 carbon which gives the board strength along the length of the board, but not too much stiffness.

Air Inside Core – Feather Light, Army strong

• This technology is unheard of in kiteboarding. We have taken out pieces of the wood core to optimize the flex pattern of the board and reduce weight. There are true hollow spaces between the top and bottom layup layers of the Elite III with air trapped inside.

Feather Light – Extreme Light Weight Engineering

• The Elite III is the lightest production board in the world. In its mid-size, 136 x 41 cm, the board itself weighs an incredible 1 760 grams. This is 180 grams less than the first Elite. Complete with accessories the Elite III weighs only 2 790 grams, making it the lightest board in the industry. Our engineers have spent tremendous amount of time searching for options to strip down weight without compromising performance and durability. With the air inside wood core and the most advanced carbon technology so far, we successfully created a Feather Light masterpiece.
