Paddleboard Elements KIRA 11.6 Women

Paddleboard Elements KIRA 11.6 Women is a powerful and versatile paddleboard designed with stability, comfort and quality in mind for a wide range of riders. This model is a great choice for anyone who wants to paddleboard on a variety of water surfaces, whether it's calm rivers, lakes or seashores. The paddleboard is suitable for both beginners and advanced riders who want to enjoy a smooth and stable ride.

Key features:

• Optimised stabilitythe Elements KIRA 11.6 is equipped with a longer centre fin and two side fins for excellent directional control and stability. This is key for a safe ride, especially on longer routes or when riding on open water.

• High Quality Construction - Fusion Technologya: The Elements KIRA 11.6 Women Paddleboard is constructed using an advanced two-layer (pre-)laminated construction, also known as Fusion Technology (FT), MSL (Monocoque Structural Laminate) or ESD (Engineered Structural Dropstitch). This technology, commonly used in more expensive models, combines the light weight of single-layer paddleboards with the strength and durability of the double-layer variants. The two layers of PVC are pressed together under high temperature and pressure, eliminating the need for glue. The result is a lighter, greener and stronger paddleboard that can withstand higher pressure and provides better performance on the water.

• Universal usea: This model is designed to suit different types of riders and water conditions. Whether you're planning a leisurely cruise on the river, an adventurous ride on the lake, or you're going to conquer the waves at sea, the Elements KIRA 11.6 Women will not disappoint.

• High load capacitya: The paddleboard is designed for riders weighing up to 110 kg, making it an ideal choice for most riders. It also provides plenty of stability for those who plan to carry extra equipment or smaller children on board.

• D-rings for kayak seata: The paddleboard is equipped with D-rings that allow you to attach a kayak seat. Combined with a matching paddle, you can convert the paddleboard into a kayak and enjoy paddling while sitting down, another great use for this paddleboard.

• Stylish designa: The paddleboard boasts a modern design that is not only stylish but also practical and highly visible on the water, contributing to safety.

Supplied accessories:

The Elements KIRA 11.6 Women Paddleboard is equipped with all the accessories you need to get out on the water right away:

• Pump with pressure gauge: Allows quick and easy inflation of the paddleboard to the recommended pressure.
• Leash: Safety strap to ensure that the paddleboard always stays close to you even if you fall into the water.
• Deck rubber: Fastening system in the front of the paddleboard for safe storage of luggage or personal belongings during the ride.
• Transport packaginga: Practical and durable packaging makes it easy to carry and store the paddleboard.
• Three-piece adjustable alu SUP paddlea: The adjustable paddle is made of lightweight aluminum, which ensures comfortable paddling and easy adjustment of the length according to the height of the rider.
• Service kita: Contains everything needed for basic maintenance and repairs of the paddleboard, which prolongs its life and keeps it in optimal condition.

Technical specifications:

• Dimensions: 350 x 85 x 15 cm cm (length x width x thickness)
• Load capacity: Up to 110 kg
• Colour: White/blue (in different variations according to design)

Recommendations and use:

The Elements KIRA 11.6 Women Paddleboard is the ideal choice for anyone looking for a stable and durable paddleboard with a long life. Its size and design make it the perfect companion for family outings, paddling with friends or relaxing cruises in the countryside. D-rings and the option to add a kayak seat make this paddleboard a versatile tool for a variety of water activities. This paddleboard offers great value for money and is suitable for both recreational and more intensive use.

Fusion Technology ensures that the paddleboard is not only lighter and stronger, but also more environmentally friendly. This technology, commonly used in more expensive models, delivers greater performance and durability, making it an ideal choice for anyone looking for a quality and reliable paddleboard with excellent features.

Double-layer (pre-)laminated construction - Fusion Technology (FT), MSL, ESD

What kind of technology is that?

Double-laminated construction, also known as Fusion Technology (FT), MSL (Monocoque Structural Laminate) or ESD (Engineered Structural Dropstitch), is an advanced manufacturing technology used in the production of paddleboards. This technology combines the advantages of monolayer and double-layer construction, which means that paddleboards made in this way have the low weight of single-layer models and the high strength of double-layer variants.

How does it work?

Unlike traditional two-layer construction, where the PVC layers are bonded together with adhesive, the process is different in laminated construction. Here, the two layers of PVC are pressed together under high temperature and high pressure. This process eliminates the need for glue, which would otherwise add weight and could be environmentally problematic.

Key advantages and benefits:

1. Lower weighta: The absence of glue in the lamination process means that the paddleboard is lighter than its glued two-layer counterparts. This makes the paddleboard easier to handle, carry and store.
2. Higher strength and stiffnessa: The laminated bonding of the PVC layers creates a stronger and more durable structure that allows the paddleboard to withstand higher pressure. The result is a stronger and stiffer paddleboard that provides better performance on the water, especially in more challenging conditions.
3. Greeninga: Removing glue from the manufacturing process makes the paddleboard more environmentally friendly by reducing the amount of chemicals used and minimizing the environmental footprint associated with manufacturing.
4. Easier packaginga: Paddleboards made with this technology are easier to pack and fold, making them easier to transport and store.

Disadvantages:

The only disadvantage of this technology may be a slight susceptibility to pressure loss, which can occur when air leaks through the micropores in the material layer. However, this process is slow and pressure loss usually takes several days to become noticeable.

Conclusion

The two-layer (pre-)laminated construction is an advanced technology that combines the best of both worlds - the lightness of single-layer and the strength of double-layer paddleboards. As a result, it offers higher performance, greater durability and a greener profile, making it the ideal choice for anyone looking for a quality, reliable paddleboard with excellent performance.
