THORN CC

Freestyle championship winning performance.

The Thorn CC delivers the most direct power for lightwind efficiency, upwind drive and explosive freestyle pop on-demand. The Thorn's relatively more parallel outline, wider tips and low rocker-line perfectly balance locked-in grip with essential control.
We described the 2010 Thorn CC as having the "power to win". And win it did. Kevin Langeree rode the 2010 Thorn CC 132cm to the top of the podium to finish as the 2009 PKRA World Champion.
The development objective from Kevin for 2011 was to add more board control for landing fully powered, but without sacrificing any of the Thorn's blistering top
Freestyle championship winning performance speed. We met this objective by tuning the flex in the midsection of the board.
The addition of composite I-beams through the wood core locked the top and bottom laminates into a higher tension framework. This keeps the board from distorting under the extreme loads of hard landings. The last 20% to the tips of the board remain without I-beams to retain a softer flex, freeing up the lively responsiveness of the Thorn's carbon-composite construction.

Naish Kiteboarding 2011 Glass Fins:
Utilizing an exclusive Naish design, the lower section of the fin has a moderate thickness draft providing lift which is ideal for low end power as well as maximum durability at the mounting hardware. The draft steps to a thinner foil at the upper section of the fin which is ideal for low drag at higher speeds. The stepped design offers the advantages of two designs in one fin.
