The Pinnacle. After years of development and hundreds of prototypes for the team and customers, the team’s pinnacle of design is finally here. Kai and Ridge Lenny on Stock Model.
Vision. Dedication. Performance. Whether prone or paddle foiling, the Ginxu Dragonfly has the performance to match the vision you have for your downwinder and the dedication you are investing.
Excellent acceleration, quick release, medium stability. The Ginxu Dragonfly will pick up and fly immediately. Due to its slim and elegant outline, in the water it offers only medium lateral stability, however longitudinal stability is excellent.
Downwind Sup performer. Light wind wing accessible. The Dragonfly wants to go downwind, it will push you and enable you at the same time. Made to go the extra mile, and then some.
Size dependent. Rookie to expert. Designed and pioneered by the KT Surfing team on Maui’s North Shore, the Dragonfly is perfectly at home under the feet of professionals, but equally accessible to anyone new to the experience.
From its inception the Ginxu Dragonfly was imagined and engineered with Sup performance in mind. Outline, shape and construction all cater to paddling.
Features
Shape: Concept, reason and benefit. Displacement hull for quick acceleration. Step Bottom for earliest release.
Outline: Concept, reason and benefit. Stretched length for directional stability and quick acceleration. Narrow width for paddle speed and effortless glide.
Rocker: Bottom Curve. Slow constant curve blending to flatter curve into Step Bottom and Dragonfly tail release.
Rails: Type, benefits, volume flow. Super round displacement hull blending to sharp Dragonfly tail.
Deck: Specialties and benefits. Subtly recessed deck contour, aligns with the stance of the rider, helps a lot for take off, control and quicker, more sensitive pump response.
Bottom: Type and benefits. Displacement hull for quick acceleration, Step Bottom for exceptional release. Dragonfly tail kick. A patented cutout on the bottom rear third of the board, including the foil boxes, creates an unprecedented connection to the foil. For touchdowns, it reduces catching and deceleration and makes the initial take off incredibly easy.
Nose: Special purpose, shape. Pointy, sleek nose for minimum drag.
Tail: Special purpose, shape. Dragonfly raised tail for paddle stability and clearance when turning or on foil.
Finbox: 2x US 16” long box.
Vent: Standard vent screw to facilitate travel. Located behind the pad.
Leash: Standard leash cup to secure your board. Located behind the vent plug toward the tail.
Pad: Thermoformed heat sealed Flat Cord deck pad with cuts for weight saving and water deflection.
Technology
Vacuum Lamination: KT applies our proprietary high-end vacuum lamination process developed on Maui, formulated to withstand even harsh water impact, without effect on hull integrity or stance area. Adapted from the Ginxu line, this technology offers peace of mind in all water conditions.
Construction: Carbon Monocoque. The deck and stance area are integrated into the hull via a Carbon Monocoque. By bonding the carbon to the core through vaccum lamination, we ensure its superior material qualities get translated into the body of the board, creating a supremely light and stiff hull.
Materials: Carbon. The entire board gets vacuum laminated in Plain Weave Carbon. Additionally, the deck receives Uni-Directional Carbon coverage for ultimate structural strength. Lastly the padded stance area is reinforced with Biaxial Carbon, providing all the benefits of high-end non-crimp fabrics.
CNC Shaped: Precision CNC shaped and hand-built to our exact standards, every model, Stock or Custom, adheres to the non-stop evolving technologies we have developed on Maui since 1994.
