Flexifoil Hooligan / Hooligan Pro Kitesurf Board
Product Overview
Be ruthless on the water and blow past your own standards with the Hooligan freestyle board from Flexifoil. An evolution from the popular Delta board, the Hooligan offers massive amounts of pop originating from its square tips and precise fin positioning.
Designed to be the ultimate freestyle ride, the Hooligan has been given a fast rocker line, allowing it to get onto the plane very early. The outline shape has been developed to track well and scream upwind. The tips are shaped for pop and allow the fins to be mounted in the optimum freestyle position ? wide apart and set back from the rider’s feet.
Flexifoil can also present with the Hooligan a completely fresh fin design, honed to perfection for the ultimate freestyle performance, reducing fin hook-up, but also offering good drive and pop characteristics essential for today’s wakestyle tricks.
The Hooligan truly is a high performing, bombproof freestyle machine, and is the only choice for those looking to stomp the very latest trick.
Technical Information
Riding Characteristics
The Hooligan offers a massively refined design aiming to give you the very best in freestyle kitesurfing. The rapid rocker helps the board get onto the plane early and accelerate quickly giving you the best setup and pushing you to bang out some sick tricks. The relationship between the rocker, the outline shape ? developed from the hugely popular Delta board ? and the 3mm concave strips on the deck underside help the board scream upwind and track through the water with unbelievable precision and control.
The Hooligan offers massive amounts of pop from its square tips, which are also perfectly adapted to provide a solid landing, letting you nail trick after trick so with the Hooligan at your feet you’ll be smashing tricks at a rate only Hadlow can better.
Polonia Core
The Hooligan uses a Polonia wood core to increase performance and durability. This particular wood is very light, extremely stable and doesn’t absorb water or shrink when wet, allowing the board to retain its high performance standards time after time.
The way in which we manufacture the Polonia core is also optimised for performance. For our boards, we’ve laid up the wood as a vertical laminate so the core takes all the stress forces instead of the glue, ensuring consistent and reliable performance that wont wither over time.
Polonia is also a great commitment to the environment. This fast growing wood grows rapidly meaning plantations can be easily replenished.
Fiberglass Protection
All Flexifoil boards use a bi-directional weave glass chosen to suit the board’s flex characteristics and to prevent adding unnecessary weight. The bi-directional Fiberglass has equal sized fibres running in both the warp and weft directions giving the board a super tough shell.
Beautifully Crafted
Our graphic design manufacturing process uses the very highest quality materials and printing techniques to offer maximum resilience to impacts, abrasions, tears, weather and even hydrocarbons. With all Flexifoil boards you’re guaranteed long-lasting surface protection with unmatched optical clarity. Our boards don’t just look good, they stay looking good.
ABS Tips, Tails and Side Walls
All Flexifoil boards feature an ABS sidewall to create fantastic shock absorption and impact resistant properties. You can batter our boards on the water without fear of cracking or splitting like the plastics used on other boards.
The ABS sidewalls have been perfectly crafted to suit the board’s use, with a different shape crafted around the tips and the centre reflecting the board’s different performance characteristics around these areas.
Premium Manufacturing and Quality Control
All Flexifoil boards are built under strict Swiss manufacturing standards using high grade European materials, they are then thoroughly checked and tested to ensure that they become nothing short of bombproof.
Our Polonia cores are CNC’d for incredible accuracy, as well as our Stainless Steel inserts, which are made from one piece, not welded together, to provide a much stronger and safer option.
