Rocky Pro model 2010

Rocky Pro model board, also known in the past as “a piece of art” still remains to be a piece of art for 2010. Although, we thought of renaming it to “that’s a sexy stick” as mentioned in the Kiteworld magazine board test article. CrazyFly is very proud of this board as it was ranked in the Top 3 Freestyle boards in the world by the Kiteworld magazine. This board was developed with and for Pro riders. It means that it is a top level board for freestyle competition.
In the developments of the 2010 Rocky Pro model board we focused on many important aspects to improve the overall riding performance of the board. We kept the same great shape and rocker line of the 2009 model, but improved the progressive flex tips, shock absorbing system, stiffness and pop of the board. Also, we included a wider stance option for better stability when landing difficult freestyle tricks and a new Quick Fix system II along with new straps. Overall Rocky Pro model is the absolute top level new school freestyle board. Oops, we forgot to mention that it is also a full carbon board.

Main advantage of the Rocky Pro model board is that you can use it for even the most difficult new school freestyle tricks and aggressive riding style. It is very stiff, with wide tips for better landings and a lot of pop for higher jumps.

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 Rocky Chatwell Pro model core.

Rocky Pro model is produced with full Nano Carbon technology II. 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 Rocky Pro model 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. 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 put a little bit more flex on the tips, but the board is still considered to be very stiff. Also we added a wider stance option which is two inches wider than it was on the 2009 model.

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. 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.
