Apelviken – kite surfboard for lightweight riders
The first ever kite surfboard designed from the ground up for women and lightweight riders. To provide ultimate control and performance.
Lightweight and petite riders
Feedback from our former team rider Catharina Edin and others riders showed how frustrating the search for a proper kite surfboard for lighter or petite riders could be. It sparked the idea to design a board specifically for lightweight riders from the ground up.
After testing plenty of prototypes, we have come up with the Apelviken model!
More forgiving rockerline
The rocker acceleration starts more towards the tail of the board. This makes the board more forgiving, loose and easy to turn. You don’t need to throw in a lot of body weight to turn the board as the board reacts very responsive.
The middle of the board is flatter to help pushing upwind. Combine this with the thinner rails and narrow tail and you have the recipe for a forgiving yet controllable board.
Smaller stance
Lighter riders tend to have a smaller stance. Another nice benefit of moving the rocker to the back, is that you can ride the board better in one position. You don’t need to move a lot from the back to the front to get the most out of the board.
Whether you are riding a wave or riding upwind, this board reacts equally fine if you ride it on the tail. As most smaller riders also have shorter legs and a narrower stance, this helps to keep control.
Snappy feel
The loose feeling of the board is balanced out with a narrow tail. This makes sure that you stay in control while enjoying this snappy feel. You can really push back on the board. This also makes the board better when the waves get bigger.
The Apelviken is not a small wave board, it’s a balanced allrounder that you can ride in most conditions. Equally fun on flat water as it is in bigger surf.
Finally the Apelviken features grab rails in the nose, to help holding on to the board especially with smaller hands.
Unique colours
In addition to our standard colours, the Apelviken is available in two signature Apelviken colours: pastel mint and pastel purple.
