LIEUWE Brute kiteboard range — LIEUWE board guide from Ireland's only dealer

LIEUWE board guide: Awe vs Shotgun vs Shotgun Air vs Brute vs Falcon

Posted by Paddy on

LIEUWE's 2026 range is the strongest lineup they've ever made — and as the only LIEUWE dealer in Ireland, we get asked one question constantly: which one? Here's the honest answer, board by board.

Awe — €659 · the first board that spoils you

You've kinda learned how to kite and you feel like you're on a love potion — the Awe keeps you there. Easy, forgiving, planes early and doesn't punish sloppy landings. If you've just finished lessons, this is the one. It's also the board we're working on getting under our own school students, which tells you everything.

Shotgun — €829 · the everyday freerider

Speed, control and big air comfort in one high-end freeride package. If you ride every week and want one board that does the lot with proper style, the Shotgun is the sweet spot of the range.

Shotgun Air — €929 · your first big air board

Progressive big air performance with angled fins for extra grip, speed and control — without losing the comfort that makes LIEUWE boards so easy to live with. Learning to boost properly? Start here.

Brute — €1,049 · maximum control when it's wild

Hybrid fibre construction built for maximum grip and control in the roughest conditions. Sound like anywhere you know? The Brute was practically designed for Irish winters — heavier riders and hard chargers, this is your board.

Falcon — from €1,149 · the full-send flagship

Ultra-light full carbon, huge grip loading up for a big one, landings that don't rattle you. The big air benchmark — full review here. In stock now in every size.

The short version

Just learned → Awe. Weekend freerider → Shotgun. First proper jumps → Shotgun Air. Rough-water charger → Brute. Chasing the WOO leaderboard → Falcon. Not sure where you fall? WhatsApp us your weight and level — we've ridden them all. Every board ships free over €200, and several feature in our packages.
