Brunotti Riptide 2026 Kiteboard

Versatile twintip with a narrower stance for lighter kiters from Brunotti

The Brunotti Riptide 2026 Kiteboard is specifically developed for women and lighter kitesurfers who are looking for a kiteboard that truly matches their body type. The biggest difference compared to standard twintips is the narrower stance. The distance between your left and right pad is smaller, which places your feet closer together. For lighter riders this is a real game changer, as it gives you much more control over the board and allows you to get more performance out of every session. The combination of a lightweight Paulownia wood core and a fiberglass construction results in a comfortable board that is flexible enough to forgive mistakes, while still offering enough stiffness for explosive pop and confident landings. With the Riptide 2026, Brunotti proves they understand exactly what lighter riders need to perform at their best.

The Torque Equalizer technology in the Brunotti Riptide 2026 improves the torsional stiffness of the board, which translates into more control and comfort on the water. This is especially noticeable in choppy conditions, where the board remains stable and reduces unwanted vibrations. The Active Backbone runs like a spine along the entire length of the board and adds extra stiffness and strength where it is needed most. This backbone distributes the forces applied to the inserts across the whole board, ensuring the bindings stay firmly in place and giving you a more direct feel while edging and landing.

One of the smartest features of the Riptide 2026 is the Displacement Hull. This is a thickened section in the middle of the board that gradually breaks the water surface during landings. The result is incredibly soft landings, even when you come in slightly off angle or flat. For riders working on freestyle tricks, this is a huge advantage. Your knees are better protected and you gain more confidence to try new tricks. The DRS Tech rails with their diamond shaped profile provide excellent grip while edging, while the quad channels in the tips and the double concave on the bottom deliver extra control. This allows you to ride in stronger wind without the board becoming hard to manage.

The TPU rail protection shields the board from impacts and helps extend its lifespan. The fiberglass construction combined with the Paulownia core keeps the weight low, making the board agile and playful. Whether you are working on your first board offs, practicing kite loops or simply want to enjoy comfortable freestyle and freeride sessions, the Brunotti Riptide 2026 offers the versatility you are looking for. The board grows with you from beginner to advanced level and continues to challenge you with its direct feedback and responsive feel.

In short, are you a lighter kitesurfer or a woman looking for an all round twintip that is specifically tuned to your body type? The Brunotti Riptide 2026 offers the perfect balance of comfort, control and performance and ensures you get the most out of every session.
