It’s here! CrazyFly 2021 Elite III. “The Elite III is more than a board, it is a status.” CrazyFly is redefining the future of the ultimate kiteboard. Blending together the most advanced technologies and materials while focusing on the best possible performance, they created the third version of the Elite board. With 30% higher breaking strength and 180 grams less weight than the first Elite, the Elite III is the best one yet by far. The brand new Elite III is the most flexible carbon board we have ever made. Smooth comfortable flex and amazing pop of a carbon board ensure amazing performance. The Elite III displays the sensuality of high-end performance and possesses the elegance of pure, uncompromising design. It is a masterpiece of extreme lightweight engineering and demonstrates the outstanding expertise of CrazyFly in all areas of carbon-fibre technology.
The Elite III is more than a board, it is a status. To complement its superiority, the Elite III board comes in a boardbag with pads and straps mounted, ready to hit the water. The Elite III premium package hides multiple surprise items.
Performance-wise, the Elite III was designed as a high end freeride board. As with every carbon board, the Elite III has quite a lot of pop and dynamics, so the load ‘n’ pop will not disappoint. Unlike other carbon boards, we believe the Elite III is the most flexible carbon board out there. It definitely is comfortable to ride. Due to its extreme lightweight, it is very simple to manoeuvre and thanks to the double concave bottom shape, it handles chop extremely well and cuts upwind with ease.
Brand new layup features two layers of carbon on the top and two on the bottom. One layer is the CompFlex 4T5 carbon with 45 degree angled fibres for optimal torsion flex, which makes the board stiffer in the heel to toe direction. This is topped with a brand news HMX-CF2 carbon which gives the board strength along the length of the board. The HMX-CF2 carbon is the thinnest, lightest and highest tensile strength carbon material. Thanks to its properties it provides a very comfortable medium flex.
With a redesigned Air Inside Core technology, we were able to save another 180 grams compared to the first Elite. This makes the Elite III the lightest board in the world.
