ABOUT US:
We have been manufacturing and repairing windsurf boards since 1990.
Our factory consists of 3 sections:
• Development
• Production
• Repairs
DEVELOPMENT
Windsurf Board development:
We have been producing quality custom windsurf boards since 1990 and for the last 5 years also manufacturing a full range of prototype boards for international windsurfing company JP Australia in conjunction with their designer, Werner Gnigler from Austria.
We do all the testing of their new board ranges for the next year, thereafter the boards get sent to the production factory in China for mass reproduction.
Kite board Development:
Long Ocean Boards has been designing and building custom kite boards since the beginning of kite boarding in South Africa. We design a new range of boards with new shapes and designs annually in order to keep up with latest developments and trends of the kite boarding industry internationally. Our boards are designed with the assistance of graphic artists to offer creative and innovative graphics. The design of our range of custom fins are also reviewed and refined yearly.
Our 2007 Kite board range consists of the following boards:
1. Surftwin
1350 x 380 cm / 1350 x 400 cm
Twin tip that rides like a surfboard, but with all the advantages of a surfboard. It has the following features:
a) special surf style wave fins with a very thin foil.
b) Varying rocker lines (less rocker in tail much more in front for those big bottom turns)
c) A new outline with a fuller nose (like a surfboard)
d) Different foot strap positions and wider stance (back strap right above the back surf fins)
This board can do everything a surf board style can do, but you don't need to gybe it and it's made of the same durable construction as all our other boards.
2. Freestyler
1280 X 390 CM
For the freestyle kite boarders – this board incorporates wide tips and a straight outline for explosive "pop" moves. It has a contoured concave midsection to create a spring-like effect in your board with our trademark 2mm tip flex.
3. Duel Flex Pro
1400 x 400 cm / 1300 x 380 cm
The Dual Flex Pro is recommended for all-round conditions. This is a
design that has proven its durability and quality performance. This board features a new 6 mm recoil concave and has a full graphic lay-up and G10 fins.
4. DUAL FLEX STANDARD
1400 x 400 cm / 1300 x 380 cm
This board is similar in design to the DUAL FLEX PRO, but comes with a plain white finish, with standard Long Ocean stickers and plastic fins.
PRODUCTION
We have a full production capability using the latest CNC technology and pneumatic press with heat controlled mechanism. This ensures that we manufacture custom kite boards and windsurf boards of the highest quality. We currently produce:
