The legend. The true jump champion with easy landing – anywhere. Our top selling kiteboard. We believe that the Imperator is, in terms of control, way beyond any other twin tip, especially in strong winds, choppy water or otherwise challenging conditions.
“A kiteboard can only be as fast as its controllability allows”. This is the insight all speedkiters have. Even at high speeds it is not a problem to slow the kiteboard down and then accelerate again.
Full 3D Rails
The middle rail of the Imperator is rounded. The additional effort that this requires is not without reason: the water sucks around the rail allowing more load to be placed on the rail. This results in the Imperator being able to hold its rail – even at high speeds. The loading of the kite lines, through the kiteboard, is improved, even at high speed, allowing for higher jumps.
Moreover, thanks to the rounded rails, the ride becomes easier, more comfortable and more controlled – you don’t see surfboard with sharp rails do you?
High speed landings, for example after a Kiteloop, are much easier with the Imperator – in comparison to kiteboards with hard and sharp rails. No caught rails, even when the kiteboard lands slightly skew in the water. Landings are clearly easier than they are with the “Snowboard-type” rails.
