Two of our most popular twin tips
are now part of the Concept Blue
range, featuring new materials for
kiteboarding, Flax and Basalt. The Flax plant grows exceedingly fast; it can be harvested after just 100 days, which means it uses fewer resources to get to the finished product. For the twin tips, we are using Flax Fibre to completely replace glass fibre in the production process; it offers similar properties, but with many additional benefits. Flax Fibre is a natural material that is eco-friendly to create, far more so than traditional glass fibre. It also offers superior dampening capabilities compared to glass fibre and has excellent torsional flex characteristics.
These attributes make it a great material to use in our twin tips.
We are combining Flax Fibre with Basalt Fibre. Basalt is another natural fibre, which is created from volcanic rocks, this material is combined with flax fibre to increase the torsional and longitudinal stiffness. The combination of flax and basalt allows us to reduce the overall CO2 footprint of the products we create and also gives us more control over the strength and flex characteristics of the board, so they maintain sporty performance and a better ride quality.
These boards, as with every board in our twin tip range are produced in a factory 100 % powered from solar energy. The power needed in any production facility often creates more pollution than the final product, so switching to solar energy is another step forward in our commitment toward a more sustainable future.
