In October we will begin building new batches of our New Zealand made kiteboards for the new season.

We have had zero breakages of our kiteboards for the last 2 seasons, which has even surprised us considering that most dvnt riders tend to be into kitelooping. That does not mean they are not guaranteed to break mind you - send us any board and I guarantee we can break it! There is no such thing as an unbreakable kiteboard whatever anyone tells you.

Part of our success is our kiteboard construction that has been refined over 6 years. No other kiteboard company uses the methods we use.

What sets us apart in our freestyle kiteboards is that we use a core that is not only waterproof, it is also very lightweight. The result is a strong lightweight kiteboard that is not susceptable to water damage and delamination as a result of water getting to the core. Our core choice is the same core as used in Formula One racing cars, NASA spacecraft and America's Cup Yachts.

If you are interested in Pre ordering a New Zealand made dvnt kiteboard for the new season (October onwards) please let us know as soon as possible as we have limited stock of materials right now, so it is first come first served. We aim to manufacture approx 40 kiteboards a year for the New Zealand market as we have done for the past few years.

Unfortunately they have been too expensive to export for the last 2 years due to:
-the exchange rate
-the amount we spend on making them (we are very particular about their manufacture)
-the material costs which is higher than other kiteboards on the market ( We use a new PVC crosslinked high density core, carbon, high resolution sublimated high tensile top and base sheet etc.)

Sizes available for new season will be:-

132 x 39 - Our most successful shape ever
A new 135/134x40 (not 100% sure of final length yet)
(We can still offer custom shapes but at extra cost)

We welcome 2 new teamriders Ryan Bickley Hendrick Gavelle who will be featuring in "The DVNT Videoshow 2" in the coming season. I can tell you it will be a big step up from "The DVNT Videoshow 1" (link to it on youtube here)" as this winter has been full on riding madness for the DVNT teamriders.

So yes, don't hesitate to contact me with your preorders or simply to discuss about your next potential kiteboard. 021-861239 09-4276296.

Thanks,
