Raptor Pro 2010
Raptor – this freestyle and freeride full carbon best selling board is slowly becoming a legend in CrazyFly board range.
The 2010 Raptor is building up on the great performance of the 2009 Raptor which had a really good balance of stiffness and flex with amazing pop for both comfortable and aggressive riding. In the development of the 2010 Raptor we focused on many important aspects to improve the overall riding performance of the board. Improved rocker line, progressive flex tips, shock absorbing system, new Quick Fix system II, and new straps are the most significant results of our developments for the Raptor 2010. Main advantage of the Raptor board is that you can use it for all new school free style tricks as well as for aggressive free ride.
The heart of the kiteboard is its core, so we paid great attention to choose the right materials for the production of CrazyFly kiteboards. We have decided to choose the lightest and overall the best available wood for cores in the snowboarding industry. The wood is one continuous piece from tip to tip without any joints, because every joint causes a breaking point. We called this tip to tip technology and this allows the wood to maintain its natural flex properties, which are essential for excellent flex and pop of CrazyFly boards. Our goal was to have a core with properties and advantages of wood and to keep it very light. CNC shaped Wood Tech core II - the combination between tip to tip wood and PVC sandwich turned out to be the right solution for the Raptor core. Raptor is produced with full Nano Carbon technology. Carbon has very high strenght in tension and high stiffness in flexion. It is 5 times lighter, but still 10 times stonger than steel. We are the only company with a serial production of full carbon boards with a nice price.
We have decided to use ABS side walls construction as the best one in this industry. ABS is a high strength, very durable thermo-plastic material. CNC shaped, hand fine finished rails bond together the upper and lower layers of carbon. Together they create a torsion box which improves the stiffness of the board in torsion. Also the round shape of the ABS side walls provides smooth carving.
Hi tech construction of Raptor combining layers of carbon with CNC shaped Wood Tech core II and ABS side walls, make the board one of the lightest in the world with excellent flex, pop and overall performance.
The 2010 Raptor shape has a couple differences from the 2009 model. This year we came with the improved rocker line to make the board faster and enhance the upwind ability of the board. CrazyFly unique tail shape helps the rider to load up an edge for higher jumps and better tricks. Concaved bottom is one of the main characteristics of the shape of CrazyFly kiteboards. The board is more stable in carves, easy to switch and rides smoothly.
This year we have put a lot of effort in improving small, but important details on the boards. We heavily focused on the pads, straps, fins and grab handle to improve its riding properties and to make the mounting even easier and faster to fit all personal preferences. Super light weight dual density EVA pro pads are very durable and don’t get worn out easily. You can adjust the stance angle to fit your personal preference. Comfort and quality of the EVA pads prevent your knees from pain even after a long ride. We put on a toe step and a heel locker on the pads, so your feet always stay in the right position and enable the rider to fully control the board with ease. Our brand new 2010 straps are lighter and more comfortable than ever before due to improved Quick Fix system II. This improved system makes the adjustments of straps very simple and fast. This year we introduced a new carbon grab handle, which is stiff and light. We use G10 fins with a very thin profile in order to prevent drag. G10 fins are durable and hard to break. Once again, G10 material is the best solution in the industry.

NANO FIBER CARBON TECHNOLOGY II
Years ago we decided to use carbon fabric as a main part of the construction of CrazyFly kiteboards. Today we see it was a right decision.
Carbon fiber comes as a high strength, high stiffness and very light synthetic fiber. Carbon fiber composites are ten times stronger than steel, and still five times lighter. Carbon fibers have amazing structural properties. You can find them on the best products humans had ever produced: in construction of Formula 1, in aerospace technology, military secret programs, and the best sport racing equipment. The result of our tight intensive research and tests with developments from the carbon industry is Nano Fiber Carbon Technology exclusively used in production process of CrazyFly kiteboards. What makes this system so unique is the higher tensile modulus and faster dynamic response. It makes the flex of our boards very attractive and the pop amazing.

CNC SHAPED WOOD TECH CORE II
Tip To Tip wood tech core II has no joints, maintains wood's natural flex properties, and is incredibly light. The rider can enjoy a light board with excellent flex and pop properties.
The heart of kiteboard is its core. The core of the board must be light, flexible and firm. It is very difficult to make a good core by using just one core material.What makes our board so unique is its combination of light and stiff materials used to produce a suitable core. Wood is a natural material with excellent mechanical properties. For the production of 2010 boards we carefully chose the best-fix kind of wood. The fibers of our wood selected for the new system are continuous from one tip to the other one. Also the Wood Tech Core is precisely CNC shaped without any mistakes. We have proven all the features of our successful system, and improved each of them. The result is CNC wood tech core II. The best solution for a kiteboard.

3D ABS RAILS
We decided to use ABS side walls construction as the best one in this industry. ABS is a high strength, very durable thermo-plastic material. The adherent bonding with upper and lower reinforcement carbon materials creates a torsion box, with high torsional stiffness. CNC shaped and hand fine finished rails you can be found on all of our boards. Bright colors help you to find your board in the water.
Concave bottom and 3D ABS rails make carving and switching between carves smooth and easy.

We use G10 fins with a very thin profile in order to prevent drag. G10 fins are durable and hard to break. G10 material is the best solution in the industry.
G10 is a legend. You can not find something better in fins production. Excellent strength, stiffnes and durability. The profile of our fins is still radically thin with minimum hydrodynamic resistance. 2010 line of fins is characterized by nice colors – it helps you to catch sight your board when it is lost.

PROGRESSIVE FLEX TIPS II
It is very complicated to make a mathematic simulator of flex which would be accepted by top riders. We have chosen the other way: to make an analytic search of human feelings of our riders and test riders. We improved our successful progressive flex tips on the boards for the year 2009. It is accomplished by allowing more flex on the tips only and making the central area of the board even stiffer.

SHOCK ABSORBING SYSTEM
After a couple hours of riding in choppy water your knees are tired and hurt. Our new developed Shock Absorbing System damps the shocks from water and vibration of board during performance riding. The unique smooth feeling of riding is guaranteed with cooperation of our Shock Absorbing System and Progressive flex II control system. Both together, they make the CrazyFly board amazingly collected. Now you can ride while the sun is up in the sky.

LIGHTWEIGHT DUAL DENSITY EVA PADS
Dual density EVA pads are extremely light and comfortable and stance angle adjustable.
To save knees from pain and to keep the board light CrazyFly developed super lightweight dual density pads. Fusing the board with the rider's feet ensures the best control over the board. Providing comfort for knees the pads are a bit softer under heel. Even after jumping time and time again, putting a lot of pressure on the pad, it returns to its original shape. Also these pads are very durable and maintain the original shape for a long time. Improved toe step and heel locker help a lot to keep feet in the right place, and also the top texture of the pads has great grip.
